1911 Porn-Let's See What You Got

Love my DW Vigil

I’m sure they’re great, but I can’t get past the look of the flat triggers. Just give me a short, curved, non-serrated 4-5# trigger. Too old to learn new chit.
 
Anybody tried one of these yet? Looks promising.

Yup, I borrowed one for a little bit and fitted it into Deadpool. Interesting contraption. It gives you a reasonable #4.5 trigger pull but "some of us" cannot leave "well enough" alone . . . . .

This assembly was really manufactured for modern 1911's. The clearances weren't good for the M1911 grip safety to be reinstalled without modifications. The Nighthawk Trigger did deliver as advertised however. Other than the grip safety issue, it was completely a stock drop in and gave advertised performance even with this crusty old gun.

They call this a "drop in" trigger, but the assembly uses your original trigger and replaces the hammer, sear, disconnector, and sear spring.

I used this in a gun considered to be a "Series 70" but I'm not sure how well it will play with a Series 80 gun.


I like tweaking my trigger assemblies too much to consider this drop in parts, but I can see the allure.

Hope this helps.

Yeah, thanks for the response. You da man!
Don’t think I’d stick one in one of my Colts, but might try it if I pick up an off-brand to play with.
Stupid virus has got all my chit on hold.
Maybe when things get back to “normal” we could set up an ODT 1911 range day M&G.
