    Anyone See This 1911 Hammer Sear Trigger Fixture Tool?

    Any one seen this Hammer Sear Trigger Fixture Tool by ez80percent.com? I've just started looking for some tools and thought this was kinda cool since there was a spot for the beavertail safety.

    What's the purpose of adding the grip safety, since the grip safety doesn't interact with either the hammer or the sear? How thick is the base block? How are the pins kept straight, and perpendicular to the surface?

    I use Brownells trigger job pins. They go all the way through both sides of the frame, with an extension to then mount the hammer and sear on the outside. That way, you see how the parts mate up on the actual gun, not on a jig that's made to average dimensions.

    The only way I can make sense of the grip safety being there, is that the pin it's on is the THUMB safety cross-pin, protruding through a hole on the jig (the thumb safety itself being on the other side of the jig). That might make sense, if it allows the builder to see if the thumb safety has enough 'meat' to engage the sear safely...

    ...but I can't see any sign of the thumb safety in there... even with the hammer at half-cock, the hole for the thumb safety should have been visible. So maybe not.
    Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold.

    I hadn't one of those before and thought it was kinda cool. But I like Hawkmoon's suggestion of the trigger job pins.

    Brownells pins are a must. Not cheap, but save a lot time.

    The Brownell's job pins take into account the actual spacing in the frame.
