In a prior message I complained about the Star PD I had just bought. One of my complaints was that the single action trigger on this 1911-style .45 was surprisingly heavy, even if the pull was short with no take-up. By a strange turn of events, I have just received a second Star PB and find that the trigger is, say, one-third to one-half as heavy as the first one. Indeed, this is a very light triggger and should allow me to become quite accurate (by my lowly standards). This is why I have two.
I bid on a blued Star PD and won. Before I sent the check, I noticed that the same seller had just put up a nickel Star PD for sale. I contacted the seller and asked whether I could pay some extra money and get the nickel instead of the blued PD. The seller contacted the runner-up bidder, who said that he didn't want the blued PD. At any rate, the seller changed his mind before any bids were placed on the nickel PD, and took it off the market. I asked him to let me know if he decided to sell it. He did! By that time I already had the blued PD but decided to go ahead and get the nickel version. The seller agreed to sweeten the deal by including a couple of the elusive recoil buffers.
My question is this. Have you every found a radical difference in triggers in two examples of the same pistol, made within a year or two of each other? Is this variance just the product of imprecise manufacturing standards, or is it possible that my nickel PD has had a trigger job?
Thanks,
