1911 needs work

Yes . I’ve posted it a million times . Don’t know why people don’t make them . Especially the “ Oh my god don’t drill or mill you’ll ruin the resale value “ crowd . Easy to make .

is that made of steel? Wonder if the 3D printer boys can make that from carbon fiber or something

Stainless

I have never seen anything that. You should patent that or sell some, so that intellectual property belongs to you

here’s one James, just need a dremel, flitz, and felt tips. All on Amazon. YT is starting to purge gun how to’s. So find the original source sites and book mark them

Thanks, I had already watched this and hand polished some things in my tisas. Already did the trigger bow, hammer, disco rail. I used fine 320 and it did a good job of polishing things up but I plan to go back over everything with a really high grit.
The only thing I have changed out was put in a Wilson flat wire spring and gi guide rod with shock buff.

I know, I know, if our lord and savior JMB thought it needed a shock buffer he would have put one in....made of cured squirrel intestines no doubt...

I am a bit trepidatious about dremeling my pistol.

I’m ok with a shock buffer. Did the flat spring help with tigger weight??

I don't know, I haven't shot it yet. I used a 17 lb spring. The flat wire is supposed it last 40k round... And I don't have a trigger scale.

I'll let you know in a few days after I can get more range time.

Trigger parts I always polish with sandpaper . I start with 400 then 600 then 1000 on a piece of granite to keep things nice and flat . Any surfaces that interact . 1000 will get it to a mirror . Your not trying to remove any real amounts of metal , or really change any angles . I’ll wrap sandpaper around something to deburr edges . No stones no files . Clean and oil after . It always makes a big difference. Until you get up to the level of say an STI and that price range , you are looking at production line pieces and that price point doesn’t get you hand fitted , polished parts .
