1911 Trigger bow R&R question

[nedro]

Can a new bow be put on an existing trigger shoe?
Cost?

I have a unique trigger off of my Sig 1911 which is no long made and Sig factory doesn't remember ever seeing this particular trigger shoe.
It's a triple triangle similar to the Wilson that Brownells sells, but not quite the same.

Thanks.

I am sure the shoe can be removed and a new bow can be attached, but I don't know how much it would be.

Whats wrong with the bow, is it bent or did you "customize" it? If bent, it's easily straightened using a tool I bought many years ago.

The mim disco gouged the bar before I, "Customized " it by polishing out the burrs.

But thanks for your concern.

If the parts have been smoothed, why replace them? Or did you polish too much?

[nedro]

Can't polish out the gouged bar.
I've got all sorts of pics on 1911 forum.
I'll try to put some here so you see what I'm talking about.

You're a real charmer, I'm sure everyone will go out of their way to help you.

Naw, just haven't had a single day off since May 21st. Not even memorial day.
Here is the bow after polishing.

Here is the offending piece. The edges were razor sharp along with some piss poor MiM manufacturing.

This is what I ended up with. I didn't want to change the demensions of the disco so I polished it smooth leaving the misaligned area since the gouges were coming from the end of the disco. That is now all smooth.

Your post on 1911 forums was back in 2014. You still haven't done anything to resolve your problem?

And by the way, theirs is a gunsmithing forum too, yet you posted pictures. In any case, good luck. I am sure you will find someone to fit a new trigger in for you. Or what would be more expensive, to fit a new trigger bow to your trigger shoe.

Well ya. I did a great job smoothing out the trigger pull.
I asked a very specific question and I get no answers. Just more "Not so nice" questions.
I posted the pics for the less informed to see what I'm talking about.
At some point I would like to get a new bow and disco, so I asked.
And ya, I could get one that almost looks like it for under $30.00.
But I wanted to see if changing the bow was a doable thing.
That is all of it in a nutshell. Just want to see if someone does it.

Why don't you just buy a new trigger?

[buruli]

Theoretically, it could be done. For a practical standpoint probably not worth it. The trigger shoe is crimped or sometimes pinned onto the bow. You'd have to buy a trigger and take it apart to get a virgin bow, then using a slitting saw on a mill, carefully machine out the steel from inside your existing aluminum trigger. Then crimp or pin on the new bow. There are a lot of triggers that have a similar look to what I think I'm seeing in the photo (the trigger shoe is a bit blurry in the photo) for example -- http://www.brownells.com/handgun-par...756-49213.aspx

Funny, I don't see any "Not so nice" questions.
Let's consider what would have to be done if you wanted a new bow attached...

You would be running the risk of deforming the trigger shoe you like so much.
You would probably need to buy another trigger to get the bow from that trigger... $
You run the risk of deforming that new shoe while removing the trigger bow.
You will be paying for more labor $$$
Will need a new disconector from what I see in pics $

Vs.

Buy a good new trigger and disconnector. Make sure the disco is smooth and fit both to the gun. $$

...however I understand that you would want to hear directly from people that would be either experienced wit that work (new bow to old shoe fitting) or interested in trying it out. Since I am neither, sorry for cluttering your thread. Just wait and see if someone with the aforementioned experience or interest will respond.
