Master Gunworks hand built 1911 pistols. This is a short video about how we hand stone and tune our hammers and sears. Visit us at : www.mastergun1911.com
Why not radius the sear? This way you’re not slightly lifting the hammer with your trigger pull, the trigger pull is smoother, and it lightens the trigger pull regardless of what sear spring tension you set. There are at least three jigs on the market for that. Doing so opens the door to a much safer and reliable trigger, especially if you’re looking for light trigger pull.
When you radius an existing sear that was not originally a radius sear it becomes too short. This creates a problem including excessive wear and potentially unsafe. I do use radiused sears in many of my builds, however I use a sear that is longer that was designed to be used with a radius.
Excellent visual of the importance of proper sear/hammer engagement.
Excellent demo thanks
I’m interested in seeing how you stone the surfaces.
I will try to add a video on that soon as well.
Where did you get that tool you were using to put the seer and a hammer on. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@@mastergunworks EGW sells sears with extra length to allow this treatment.
