Widen trigger channel to accept the wide Gold Cup trigger?

DanHart · 06-17-2002, 12:34 AM

Can anyone tell me if doing this to a non-Gold Cup receiver is much of a big deal/costly to have done by a pistolsmith? Is it within the realm of a careful 1911 hobby-ist to do himself?

Thanks so much.

Had it done twenty years ago. I was into doing anything to add more bells and whistles to my gun. If somebody did it, I had to have it. What a mistake!

The wider surface spreads the feel of trigger pull over a larger part of your trigger finger. It feels different. Anything that feels different gets noticed -for a while. I don't think it offered any advantage in trigger technique or led to more accuracy.

It was, IMHO, a waste of my money. You may love it. If you can't find a smith. The guy who did a beautiful job 20 years ago is still working and turning out master quality work.

I think Cylinder & Slide does this work, too.
