Hello Forum,
I purchased a Umarex Colt 1911 a few years ago, I fired it a few times, the trigger pull was so bad, I stopped shooting the pistol. Sometimes it seemed like the safety lock was slipping and engaging the safety when I fired the pistol, the trigger pull was so hard, the pistol would not fire.
Recently, I went to shoot at an indoor range and I decided to try the .22 again. Yes, the same defect. The range master suggested I leave the pistol as they had a gunsmith who was a wiz with the 1911. I decided to give him a try. When I went to pick up my pistol today, they gave me a few rounds to try the repair. I was amazed! A very controllable trigger pull, what a difference. It was after I got home and decided to clean the pistol that I realized what he had done. He removed the safety lock plunger. It was attached to a card he had slipped into my pistol case. When I examined my pistol, I realized the plunger was removed but the plunger spring was now bearing against the safety lock. This fix worked, but I don't consider it a real fix. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time,
Rabbit
