    As with all trigger jobs, a question has risen.
    What is the difference between a crisp trigger and a roll trigger?
    Please educate this lowly 1911 owner.
    Thanks

    A "roll trigger" does not necessarily preclude a "crisp" trigger.

    A roll trigger is a normal, positive trigger job, with the primary angle and the back angle of the sear meeting with a slight radius to break the corner. In other words, the primary angle "rolls" into the back angle.

    A positive trigger meaning the hammer is cocked further will result in a rather hard trigger pull.

    The term roll trigger may mean different things to different folks. But I've never heard it described as rolling into the back angle. It is simply cocked by the slide and the slide releases the hammer to the control of the sear. The roll part is when the trigger is pulled and is a long smooth pull, that doesn't break crisp, but goes off with a smooth pull of required pull weight. Normally long hammer hooks and a radius sear nose.

    Best,
    Jon
