Trigger job
« on: December 04, 2011, 03:11:03 PM »
I did a trigger job on my OLD(1950) Colt Commander.  New springs, new hammer, polished everything.  I got it down from 7 /34# to 4 1/2#, much better.  Too light and it becomes a liability.  Now if I could get my Browning HiPower down below 8, without removing the magazine safety, I would be happy...........except for some others.  Brownell's says they have a spring kit that will get my Colt .38 Bodyguard down to 9#, but it is now at 9#.  Hammerless model, and Colt says it can't improve on that.

I went shooting with an NCC cop(neighbor) last week.  He brought his AR15 and let me shoot it.  First time with a "modern" rifle, VERY nice, and accurate, almost no recoil.  He shot my .45 and was consistently high about 1-2".  When I shoot I am consistently low about the same.  He is trained to shoot for speed, I am an old paper hole puncher.  He says he never looks at the rear sight, doesn't have time.  Find the front sight and blast away, or just point/shoot.  I will have to try that.
