Vern was returning fire at Paul 
 about 1911 Triggers 
 VH> There, I agree -- I left the trigger of my M1927 Argentine (which is
 VH> my carry gun) alone -- never touched it.
 The old trigger action was too light (for an everyday carry gun) and
 less than crisp.  Smooth but mushy, if that makes any sense.
 We decided to go with a couple of minor mods to bring it up to 4#,
 with an adjustable trigger and stoning or whatever appropriate for
 "feel."
 When he got into it it turns out that we've got some significant wear
 issues to deal with -- and a resulting parts list that we'd not
 anticipated.  So instead of a $50-75 repair bill it's looking more in
 the buck and a half range.  Course, the good part of that news is that
 we can build it pretty much the way we want it.  (I guess that's the
 "looking on the bright side" attitude...or stupidity. )
 I didn't particular _want_ to have to spend another couple hundred
 bucks on smithing...but then I didn't want to have to spend a couple of
 hundred on fixing the truck either.
 Hmm, livin' in a fix-up house, drivin' a fix-up truck, campin' in a
 fix-up trailer, carryin' a fix up 1911.  Something's wrong here .
