OK, I confess I'm not much of a 1911 expert. I have two, and I like them, but I don't shoot them very often. Except for basic cleaning, I'm pretty much unfamiliar with the innards.

I shot my Springfield Loaded today, and the trigger felt awful. Normally there's no take-up to speak of after the reset, but today there was a lot, I'm guessing 1/16" or more.

What could cause the amount of take-up after reset to change suddenly? This gun always had a great trigger, but it was no fun at all to shoot today.
