1911 Tuneup

[Autonomous]

Inspired by NicTaylor00's videos [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyKhTsYfH6A[/ame] I decided it was time to do a tuneup to my 1911.
My TRP had a decent trigger but this simple procedure made a significant improvement, much more than I had anticipated. It is nice and crisp now.
I did not touch the hammer hooks or sear engagement surface.
I encourage anyone who isn't familiar with this easy job to give it a try.

Also check the slots that the trigger bow rides in. Buddy brought his 45 over to my house and just shining in a small bore light showed some machining marks. Luckily for me and him,I have a small collection of tool makers stones and had one that was small enough to fit into the slots for the trigger bow. About 15 minutes work each side all the tool marks were gone cleaned out the grit from the stone. Lightly oiled it and reassembled. Made a world of difference. Frank

I had no stones appropriate for the trigger bow slots so's I put some rubbing compound on the bow and carefully worked it for a bit. If I see some likely stones for a good price I may readdress the slots but there is no real roughness in there.
For now I am tickled how well the simple procedure worked.
