MC OP. trigger

[OliveDrab]

So I picked up my mc operator yesterday, cleaned it up, and went to the range today.

100 rounds of Winchester with zero problems.

My only other handgun is a glock so I'm still getting to know the 1911.

My only gripe is that the trigger is a bit harsh on the finger when fired.

I think it's from the access hole on the lower part of the face of the trigger.

Any comments on this?

BTW- I work with my hands for a living so no desk jockey hands here

Thanks,

Never heard of 3-hole triggers causing problems. Perhaps the edge of the pad is sharp?

You can always swap triggers as it is inexpensive to do and you can go with a different length and/or style.

I hate the hole for the overtravel adjustment on the pad of 1911 triggers it chews up the pad of my trigger finger too.

I have replaced all of mine with the 10-8 Vickers/Yam design solid trigger.

Oh you mean the hole for the over-travel screw...misread. I've never had a problem with them.

no probs here either.

Chamfer the edges of the hole.

I personally prefer the Harrison Extreme Service triggers where the overtravel is adjusted on the back side of the trigger.

Might be the serrated face of the trigger as well.

The trigger face and over-travel hole can be sanded down/polish, does not hurt functionality.

(Just do not turn the over-travel hex screw if you are not familiar with it yet.)

You can fill the hole up as well, just make sure you are happy with the amount of trigger overtavel if you do.
No big deal, replacement triggers if needed are pretty cheap, bout 15-30 $'s.

I've found the outside edges of some 1911 triggers to be sharp. Some triggers with serrations are particularly sharp around the overtravel screw hole. Depending on how you position your finger on the trigger and how you pin it during firing and stuff, I have certainly experienced discomfort because of it. I seem to like the ones with slightly rounded edges better in this way.
