??????????????????????


As I said, if the person is uncomfortable with removing metal from the trigger, and the tolerance between the trigger and the safety has become too small to let the normal trigger's upward pressure let the safety reset, reversing the trigger spring putting downward pressure so the gap is maintained, will work.

Pushing the front trigger forward tells Harry where the trouble is since it allows opening. Did I ever say it was the right way? No I said it was not the way it was designed. Read my post. I gave a simple fix to the problem.

May work. May not. I'll bet it does. If the gap has become that small, one will not notice it when reversing the spring. In fact one may find in guns where the external screws are messed up and out of time that you will on occasion see these trigger springs reversed by someone who installed it incorrectly as they did the external screws. Didn't know any better and did not photograph anything before disassembly. Still the gun works.

As I said and Brian repeated, removing metal from the front trigger where it meets the safety is the right way; but only if you feel comfortable doing that.
