Had this 2011 custom built for me in 2018 - The trigger was about 2 lbs 8 oz and the reset is super short - When shooting quickly, especially when stress is introduced (competition, timer, etc), the gun will periodically bump fire as seen in the video. This condition never happens when shooting slowly and/or when pinning the trigger and so I am convinced it is not a sear issue.
This is obviously not desirable, however the gun builder has inspected it on two occasions and reported back that everything is as it is supposed to be. That said, I purchased a couple 1911 sear springs and increased the trigger pull to 3 lbs, 12 ozs. by bending both the center and left leaves forward a bit further that the original spring. In doing so, the disconnector is significantly "stiffer" and there is a much more well defined click when it resets.
I have not shot the gun a lot since I made the changes, however the changes I made do seem to have corrected the bump fire condition.
My question is this. Can this extra pressure on the disconnector cause a problem for me? Will it harm anything or break?
