Kitchen table Gunsmithing
can lead to unexpected problems.
I was tweaking the trigger on my PT1911 match gun after replacing a broken sear spring. While I had it apart I decided to straighten the ears on the trigger bow to take out a little creep. Success! Creep reduced to zero. Crisp break still at 3#-12oz. Life is good.
Reassembled entire pistol. Grip safety wasn't reengaging. Added a little tension to the spring. Still nuthin'.
Pushed up on the beavertail and felt a click as it reengaged. Release pressure still acceptable, but the safety needs to reengage to pass inspection.
Mental review of the blueprints followed...
When I bent the ears to push the trigger back to remove creep, I pushed it far enough back for the bow to interfere with the tab on the safety.
It's all connected, folks.
P.S. - It's only about 1/16-3/32" of takeup. I can live with it.
