I just got me a new SW1911 and the trigger seems a little loose.
Any suggestions on how to fix it?

By loose I mean it has vertical play. It moves up and down to the point that it jiggles.canebrake said:Sorry, need more information than loose.![]()
No. It's the trigger that came from factory. It's brand new out of the box.mountainman13 said:Is it a replacement trigger?
Send it to a gunsmith like me to tighten it upjosefsu2000 said:I just got me a new SW1911 and the trigger seems a little loose.

Exactly WRONGcanebrake said:Most 1911 triggers have some freedom of movement in both the horizontal and vertical planes.
This movement should not be "...to the point that it jiggles."
Yes you can replace the trigger but 1 they need to be fitted and 2 the 1911 has 30 moving partsdanf_fl said:The trigger can be replaced.
Cost is minimal if it gives you "peace of mind".
If you are mechanically inclined, you could do it yourself. Just remember that when removing material, you will have a heck of a time adding it back, if needed.
(and keep the Dremel away)
No 1911 is my favorite and one IM very familiar withmountainman13 said:Lol you make it sound like a hard job. Business a bit slow right now?
No 50$ is la or doe's require purchase of new trigger to be fitteddanf_fl said:I consider $50 to be minimal cost for "peace of mind".
(After paying $125 per magazine for a pistol no longer manufactured, $50 is cheap)

Before I call BS on your statement that every 1911 trigger "...should have no vertical play..." do you really mean NO vertical play?Exactly WRONG
1911triggers should have no vertical play which causes trigger bind
Yup you got me i took vertical play as a given. .canebrake said:Before I call BS on your statement that every 1911 trigger "...should have no vertical play..." do you really mean NO vertical play?
Because I have shot a boat load of 1911's in my life time and not that I've checked each one, but some form of play has been present. And I have not experienced trigger bind.
Have you ever lined up the disconnect in the back strap?mountainman13 said:Sooo anyway...if you don't already know how to completely strip your 1911. You can go on YouTube and find a video. Replacing the trigger is easy.
