some results after 1911 trigger ajustments



Did a little trigger work on my sti ranger ii and ria gi 9mm while being bored..and installed a fusion trigger in the sti cause I didnt like the feel of the plastic one. Made the trigger feel much smoother. Both pistols now have a smooth 3lb trigger compared to the 4 and 4.5 they use to be. Used a wheeler trigger pull gage so unsure how accurate it is, but still noticeable regardless.
both pistols had about the same results on paper..

Now I have to get used to the lighter triggers.. was surprised a few times by how quick the fallow up shot came resulting in fliers.. keep in mind I'm no marksman lol

The picture above is 28 quick shots with the ria gi. 20 shots to center mass fallowed by 8 the the head quickly. . 1 flyer from the chest shots ended up left of the head and 1 of the 8 went off paper..others were to the sides but 4 were good :)
The hand target is how I did with 10 shots with a little less speed.
all in all good shooting for me...

which brings me to my question,
What trigger pull weight do you normally like on your 1911? Or others..
 
Where did you get the fusion trigger from? My Norinco has a trigger that while not all that bad pull wise, moves up and down in the guard and it's annoying as all hell. I'm trying to find something with a lot less slop that isn't going to cost me an arm and a leg and doesn't have to come from down south.
 
Got both my Fusion triggers at Wanstalls.

I hear ya about the factory Norinco trigger wiggling around a lot and that is the exact reason I replaced both of mine.
