I messed up my back again so I'll be spending a few days resting watching t.v. I figured maybe I'd sit and dry fire my 1911. I polished the necessary internals but the trigger is still a bit...stiff. Not gunsmith worthy, but enough to notice.
I've only ever sat and intentionally dry fired a S&W 686 and I couldn't notice a difference afterwards.
I ask because someone on a different forum claimed that after every 5000 times you pull the trigger, you lighten it by .5 lbs. Which I call bs. So according to him, 20,000 pulls equals 2 lbs.
Even if you do get .5 lbs to 1 lbs lighter from dry firing, say 5000 times, there's got to be a ceiling where it doesn't get any better right? Has anyone here, maybe a competitor, measured every couple thousand shots?
What's your thoughts/experience on it.
