[QUOTE="Fr Mulcahy, post: 4315401, member: 42567"] Good advice. We have been very lucky to take eight weeks of 1911 classes with Rick Kennedy at Murray State. That's one two-week class four times. The first two-week class felt like trying to drink from a firehose. The second one started to make sense. After the third one, we felt like we had a pretty good understanding of how the 1911 works, and how to fix them. I have seen gunsmiths just bend the sear spring to lighten the trigger pull. It can be done, but I don't recommend it. I have seen the trigger pull smooth out by just taking the 1911 apart and putting it back together. I can't tell you why it worked, but it did. The point of this rambling post is just that I would live with a less than ideal trigger if I had no experience with a 1911 and I couldn't find a competent gunsmith. You might be ok doing it on your own. But you might not, and it only takes a small mistake in the pistol to create a big mistake coming out of the muzzle. [/QUOTE]
