Custom 1911 Trigger Job Upgrade
A custom 1911 trigger upgrade is one of the most effective ways to enhance performance and satisfaction with a pistol. It can improve accuracy, eliminate trigger slap, and even improve finger comfort.
How It’s Done
Whether it’s an upgrade for a custom 1911 pistol you’ve purchased, or a new gun for yourself, one of the best things you can do to your pistol is to get a premium trigger job. This will improve your shooting experience and ensure your gun works the way you want it to.
The best aftermarket 1911 triggers provide a smooth, consistent pull that allows pressure motion from start to finish, increasing accuracy and eliminating trigger slap, the stinging feeling of your trigger finger springing back when you press the trigger. They also have a shorter length of pull, which increases accuracy and eliminates the need for multiple trigger resets.
When fitting an aftermarket trigger, it’s important to square the hammer hooks. For this, you can take a gamble and use a square stone or a jig. Or you can have a pro like Lone Star Gunsmithing do it and adjust the trigger overtravel screw until the hammer does not contact the half-cock ledge when it falls. Super safe, super smooth.
Sear & Hammer
When it comes to improving the feel of a 1911 pistol, a crisp trigger break is always the top priority. Until now, this type of premium trigger job has never been available as a drop-in upgrade although very pricey. A custom trigger action job usually costs less and feel better due to human hand fitting and adjusting.
Thankfully, Lone Star Gunsmithing has developed a way to do just that!

This method works with Series 70, 80 as well as 2011 pistols. It requires require arcing and tweaking of the sear spring, disconnector spring and grip safety spring legs, which gives you a clean and crisp trigger pull and let off.
Disconnector
One of the most common improvements made to custom 1911 pistols is a high-quality trigger job that delivers a crisp, clean break. Traditionally, achieving this type of upgrade requires a professional gunsmith to perform the job and often isn’t attainable by most DIY shooters. Not to mention it can make the gun unsafe to shoot if not run through safety checks.
