My two 1911s have stock triggers. Hell, aside from me polishing up the feed ramps and changing out the stock pile of crap rubber things that came on the colt they’re both stock.

ok, so neither is a GI spec 1911A1, but whatever, nor are they race guns. I seem to do ok at the plate matches with them. Aside from having to reload 4 times to the race gun’s single mag that is.

My 1911A1 and I will live to see the 100th anniversary of this great pistol, and of all my large-caliber pistols, the 1911A1 has the most predictable trigger, right out of the box, than any of my Glocks. Consequently, I can do a tighter group with the 1911A1 than I can with the Glock.

Sure, I could get the Glock tuned up, but I like a combat piece to stay in combat tune, not finicky competition tune.

My ’43 1911A1 seems to go bang every time unless it’s unloaded, then it goes click.

“I�m not sure you can even fire one with a stock trigger, since I�ve never actually seen one used.”

My dad, who used a issue model 1911A1 during his service in WWII, would disagree with that statement. That STOCK pistol with a STOCK trigger saved his life in a close encounter with a Japanese Soldier in the Phillipines.

My younger brother has one that’s totally stock, it’s just like it was new out of the box with no modifications, and he shoots great with it.

Err, like you know, John Browning made a lot of good guns for you guys who actually want to hit a target out to 1,000 yards or mow down a company of advancing enemies? He made the the 1911 to replace your sword? Hmm?
