1911 Trigger

[SS 396]

Hey INGOER's, anybody know of any LGS that carry any 1911 triggers? Locally around indy area, thought i heard Elmores has 1911 parts in Greenwood. Wanted to know if any other shops have parts Thanks.

You might want to call Allen at Diamond Collision. He does a lot of 1911 work and might have some trigger parts in his inventory.

Just a standard 3 hole long trigger looking to fit a better one for my RIA 9mm. It is looser than i care for, works fine just a tad sloppy.

Churchmouse can tune your '69 Chevelle and your 1911.
He has mine right now.

Is it loose in the frame as in sloppy in the grooves. If so go onto brownells and get a Wilson that has to be fit in the gun. Possibly the frame has an out of spec trigger groove. I have seen a few Island guns with spec issues like that.

Found one in my parts box i can not for the life of me remember what gun it came out of. May have been out of a Taurus 1911 that i gladly got rid of several years ago. it was so loose in that gun it rattled brand new out of the box. The only 1911 i ever owned that i parted with and glad to see it go lol. May try it but i am almost sure it will be worse.

Churchmouse, you may be right it has a lot of up and down movement at the finger pad, that is what i thought i would have to do is get an oversize and fit it to my gun. I will say this for a 400$ gun this thing has ran like a champ and very accurate the loose trigger is my only gripe with this gun. I also have a RIA Match 45 with the Bomar adj rear sight and Match barrel this thing is tight, trigger fit breaks clean good tight barrel lock up and very accurate. These are my only venture into island guns but have been lucky and got a couple of real good ones. They don't compare to my Springfield,Ruger, Smith, or my Sig 1911s but they sure are fun to shoot.

I've had a couple of RIAs like that and CM had to change one out on my little commander a few months back. Specs on the P.I. guns have a lot to be desired.

You may find the trigger track out of speck. There are pieces available to rectify that. Just a good set of files and some patience.

Enjoy.

Churchmouse is da man, but I do think USDS carrys triggers for 1911's among other things

KJQ6945, My Chevelle is a 68

 

[SS 396]

Thank You for the info everyone, I'll let you know how it turns out.

KJQ6945, My Chevelle is a 68

In an age of huge single carbs I have not seen a tunnel system in a long time. Does the 3/8ths fuel line keep the bowels full.

And....the big question....where do you run it and what will it run????

 

[bjenkins]

Your Chevelle is super nice!

 

[SS 396]

Churchmouse, i run 1/2 in fuel line from the fuel cell to the pump 3/8 to the carbs. Yes it keeps the bowls full it will pull 6,000 rpm although i try not to punish it like that. It is a 1966 375 hp motor i put a crane cam worked on the heads a little and believe it or not those are the original 11.0 to 1 pistons standard bore from 1966.

I built this engine in 1982 only thing has been changed since are the valve springs had a couple break. The engine still runs strong i only drag raced a few years at Muncie after breaking spider gears and axles in the GM 12 bolt i put a Moser spool and axles with the c clip eliminators, and a 456 gear. The car was a factory SS 396 with a 4spd i still run the 4spd which is a rarity these days at the drag strip all autos with trans brakes and delay boxes.

Auto trans in a 60s muscle car is just not right. My best time was 12.90 at 107mph not too bad for a basic stock engine and a full interior. In the process now of putting it back on the street, need exhaust, tires and wheels, and a stock fuel tank the 8 gallon cell wont go far. Sorry for the long post Churchmouse cars and guns are my real passion i can talk forever.

Churchmouse thanks for the intrest in my ole clunker i love the ole car i have had it since a year after i graduated high school in 1981 i am now almost 52 had the ole girl a long time.
