Marauder SASS #13056 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Lumpy, he said his Colts were in the Houston area. Since we do not know where he is, he may not be able to reach them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Mans got to know his limitations! Every time I work on my guns it makes my gunsmith happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Just about any gunsmith, and lots of parts changers, can put in new 1911 hammers and tune the trigger pull. One of the simplest jobs going. While doing this, I'd have them put in at least a fresh sear spring and mainspring in each gun. Would be hard to beat Jess Briley 1230 Lumpkin Rd, Houston, Texas 77043 (713) 932-6995 Call ahead and see how busy they are. good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramblin Gambler Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Alan Harton is very well respected with single actions and that includes 1911s. He's usually got a long backlog though. aharton@hotmail.com (713)907-6031 Lately I've been using Eddie's Custom Guns in the heights. He's done a good job with everything so far.

WOLFY Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I only had one to do. The swap was easy, getting the new trigger to fit (and break vleanly) took some polishing, though. If I had to do more than one, I’d likely go to a gunsmith (especially so they can be close to identical) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouchy Spike Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Jess Brileys gunsmith did a great action job on a Springfield XD, and Alan Harton did great action jobs on six uberti Open Tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patagonia Pete Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Wow ... the video was great ... he didn't have to refit the thumb safety ... Never had that happen (ended up either too tight or too loose). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
