1911 Trigger BOW Only?

[Rovert]

Howdy, folks. Where would you go to find a trigger BOW only for a 1911 for those of us who want to experiment with making our own custom triggers?

I don't think that they're available anywhere...at least not that I know of. You can try some local smiths. Most of'em have take-offs layin' around gatherin' dust. Your best bet is to ask for some of the older Colt nylon triggers. You can melt the fingerpiece off with a propane torch with less risk of destroying the bow in the attempt to remove a silver soldered shoe.

Hope that helps...

There are some aftermarket triggers floating around that have the fingerpiece cross-pinned to the bow. I don't think much of most of them because the bows are usually soft and easily bent. However you might find an exception to the rule, and it would be easy to change the fingerpiece.

EGW and STI make gunsmith trigger blanks (bow plus aluminum or polymer pad), if that'll help ya get started....
