High-Cap Trik Trigger : 1911 AUTO TRIK TRIGGER | Brownells

 

[Mike Grasso]

The 1911 uses a trigger that slides straight back to engage the sear, no pivot.
So a flat trigger allows you to place your finger anywhere on the trigger, high, medium, low and still have the same, consistent trigger press.
For a precision shot under duress, I believe, it has an advantage, for a consistent trigger press across my 1911s, it's worth it.
Therefore, All my duty weapons ( and non ) have flat triggers. Just like every one of my 1911 has a .156 10-8 Rear Sight, consistency.

An updated shot of my Gunsite....

I love that bobtailed Colt. I'm guessing the bobtail was done after buying the gun?

new grips on my first 1911

A few weeks ago I bought my first 1911 a Kimber Ultra Carry 2. Last night I got my new Kirinite Grips. Think they look really good.

That's pretty nice. What material are the grips made from?

the name of the material is Kirinite from eagle grips. It is basically a resin that is then cut and polished like stone. It is very light weight and glossy, but it really does not feel any more slippery when wet than dry. kirinite.com or eaglegrips.com I got them off amazon for $80

I really like the looks of that top one. Hard to beat the looks of wooden grips.
