On the other hand, when i shot on the Army pistol team, the first thing we did when we got a 1911 in the arms room was a trigger job. When i was in a regular Army unit, i thought the stock trigger heavy, rough and traveled more than i like. We just didnt want them at competition condition in a combat unit. Someone would have shot themselves in the leg or worse at 2.5#. Todays 1911 in the DW, Wilson, etc have already had their triggger jobs, just look at the price tag. I have a 1911 on the column of my truck. When I go to the woods, a G19/17, and concealed, a kahr pm9. All three have their pros and cons. Botttom line, in most cases, my ![]() YMMV.

And by they way, I own over forty Glocks, mostly 17's, going back to Gen1's. I am Pro-Glock for a SD pistol, carrying a G17 customized by Lane at Cold Bore Customs right now. As good as it point shoots I have stock 1911's that are WAY more accurate, especially after the thirty yard marker. I am very happy that this conversation is happening now. My plan for the last two weeks was to ask Gary to "have his way" with a stock G17. Much as I know about the pistols I always maintain that somebody always knows more, can do more. Gary's posts say that he is that person, and I have faith he is. Now I just hafta feel the difference fer myself.

And then we have the aging guy(ME) who spent his youth with half frozen wet hands milking cows/delivering milk in sub zero temperaures. This is the guy who depends on alterations so he can shoot thousands of rounds in a weekend. I can shoot thousands of rounds from a 1911, but I find the lighter weight Glock more punishing on my hands. So, Brownie's theory of practice till you get it cannot work for everyone. But once the alteration(s) are complete, yup, practice till you get it.

He's still trying to break Ed McGivern's many records for speed and accuracy, he broken a few so far, Ed also shooting stock s+w revos back on the 30's and 40's. The 1K rds to shoot the g17 as well as the 1911's I'd carried for 30+ years was learning the trigger and the variance in grip angle. Upwards of 300K rds through the 1911's over decades, 1K on the ![]() If you don't shoot, you can't shoot. As you know, students hand me their firearms all the time and I shoot them equally as well as my own make/models. In my own case, the carrying and shooting a Sig da/sa while in blue for several years really increased the trigger finger education. In 3-4K rounds, I could shoot the 226 or 228 as well as the 1911's after decades. A lighter trigger may have saved me 1-2Krds down range, but the trigger finger wouldn't have been any more educated or made a difference in speed or accuracy. So yes, one might save a few K of ammo with a trigger job, but the well educated trigger finger that can operated a 5.5# stock ![]() Half the reason many carry, shoot, and prefer a 1911? Many reasons but one important one is it's trigger weight. My 1911's sd guns are set at 4.5#'s, the ![]()
