1911 Trigger Job Questions

I'm no kind of a smith, but I'd get rid of the series 80 crap altogether, it's stupid, 1911's work just fine without them. JMO.

I agree! Between the grip safety, thumb safety and trigger control, there's no need for it.

Not only is it unnecessary, but it RUINS what could otherwise be a perfectly good trigger.

So is there any way to get rid of the Series 80 components other than using the block/shim you mentioned, Junky?

Replace the receiver. The receiver is opened up to allow for he two extra parts by there dear thus the need for the block/shim. Without it the sear and disconnector would have room to move from side to side.

Dang. That's what I figured. Oh well, I'll just do what I can with this one and make sure I get a Series 70 frame when I build one.

Alas, the demons in Kalifornia got the idea that guns kill folks if dropped on the floor, so they demanded that gun makers come up with ways to prevent guns from shooting and killing folks when dropped. The firing pin safety block was one of those ways.

Make sure to get a series 70 slide as well. You can still use a series 80 slide on a series 70 frame, but best to have matching parts.
