New 1911 build with cool new trigger system.

Thanks. This one was a little challenging to get it to perform the way I wanted. May be partially due to using parts from all different manufacturers. This time, the various tolerances didn't stack in my favor. Took a lot of digging around and measuring everything a bunch of times, but its good to go now. Im anxious to get some time behind the new trigger. If it doesn't work out, I can always go beck to a traditional trigger, it wont change the way the gun shoots.
This gun will allow me to retire my Range Officer that Ive been using for Bullseye for some time now. I will be re-purposing that one as an IDPA/ GADPA pistol, but That will be the subject of another thread.

sweet looking trigger

SWEET Blaster, Mark! That Hinged Trigger reminds me of the ones Gun Craft in Ruskin, FL used to make for the Double-stack 1911's, but with some further REFINEMENTS...Were those groups fired with your Handloads? Lead or Jacketed Projo?

I've seen better craftsmanship from a macro picture

Good job mark, you make me proud

Hey Mike! Ive heard of those Gun Craft triggers, but cant even find a picture of one. Im sure thats where Christoph (the designer of this one) got some inspiration.

Totally forgot to mention the ammo. Yes, they are my handloads.
Its Magnus 185 JHP (Nosler type), 4.5 gr of Bullseye, Starline brass and WLP primers. 1.22" OAL and .469 crimp. Its a very accurate load. Time permitting, I will experiment a little with powder/OAL, to see if it tightens up any.

Whats up Travis!

Wow that thing is sweet.

but a hinged trigger on a 1911? isnt that sacrilege?

 

[markj]

Thanks. On any other 1911, I would agree..... Outrageous sacrilege!!!! But this is really a target pistol that just happens to be built using mostly 1911 parts. I THINK that makes it ok.

we'll let it pass this time Mark...LOL


it may actually be a BE trend if that guy would get a US distributor
