Looking for a good gunsmith.

[Bear44]

I need a smith that knows how to turn a gritty 6lb 1911 trigger into a very crisp 3 to 4lb 1911 trigger. I would prefer to get the gun back in a reasonable amount of time and that they are not on the other side of the planet from me. I live in Norcross.

Any recommendations?

Although I am personally not a fan of their customer service, David's Gun Room is close to you and I'm sure one of their seasoned smiths could do the job. If you're somewhat mechanically inclined you could watch a few videos and attempt to polish the sear yourself. Or order a Wilson, Baer, Caspien, or other high end hammer/sear/trigger and install yourself.

I have found the 1911 to be an extremely east firearm to work on. Just take your time, be patient and stay focused.

Brian Ott is a very good gunsmith and I would not recommend anyone if I did not believe in their work. He's in Douglasville so it's a considerable drive, but not that far. He does only what is necessary, has very fair pricing, and will have it back to you in a reasonable time. I believe he is a member on here too. Not sure of his username though...Several members here know him and have hired his services and I'm sure they will agree he is very good.

Russ at David's gun room is well respected from what I've been told. I had him do some trigger work on a 1911 and was really pleased. There were a couple of competition shooters getting their STI rigs tweaked while I was in there and they were extremely complimentary of him. Apparently he was a big shot shooter and expert on the 1911. Perhaps someone here can confirm that?

Do you have any contact info for Brian?

I know Russ and go to him for smith work sometimes. He has done trigger jobs on a couple of different weapons for me (not a 1911) with mixed results. There is also some question about the time it will take to get it done. He's a nice guy, but I want to try someone new.

Rusty at davids gun room can do a 1911 trigger like no other. He did my 1911, best trigger job I have ever had done.
