Inserting the magazine disengages a tab that blocks the transfer bar. Removing it DOES allow the magazine to drop out freely though, and stops that scrape down the side of the mag near the back edge.<br /><br />Also, some VERY cool graphics on the functioning of a 1911: http://animagraffs.com/how-a-handgun-works-1911-45/<br />Mauserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11732614352398473302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-79477187849332547012014-07-05T16:00:53.672-06:002014-07-05T16:00:53.672-06:00Mauser: I decided that the Firestar's trigger ...Mauser: I decided that the Firestar's trigger was sufficiently good that there was no need to modify it. <br /><br />I intend to write an article for Shotgun News about this question of legal liability. There is one case that Massad Ayoob ran into as an expert witness where this was used, it appears, primarily as a bargaining tactic by the prosecutor to get the defendant to plead to a negligent discharge (and perhaps with good reason), but all the other case law involves liability suits against manufacturers, not owners.Clayton Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-3284602035165224252014-07-04T22:07:27.599-06:002014-07-04T22:07:27.599-06:00Larry Cole 208-353-8424 is the gunsmith.Larry Cole 208-353-8424 is the gunsmith.Clayton Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-65362152450406473442014-07-04T21:50:49.945-06:002014-07-04T21:50:49.945-06:00Did you try my method on your Firestar?

I used to remove only the spring for the magazine disconnect. The tension of the trigger spring against the trigger lever was enough to disengage the now springless magazine disconnect.

Pretty simple process but advisable to have done by a gunsmith if one is looking for the most optional trigger pull. Sport Pilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862280966739841769noreply@blogger.com
