Adjusting Trigger Plate lever procedure

seabee73 · 09-05-2010, 06:13 PM

My 1918 Erfurt (with police sear) requires a lot of pressure to activate the release of the striker. The trigger has to be fully buried into the rear of the trigger guard for it to allow its release. Even then, I've noticed that the trigger bar does not extend as far away from the slide as far as it does on Lugers with normal trigger action.
I've heard that the lever can be (judiciously) bent to correct this condition. Can anyone direct me to a previous post that has addressed this issue, or some first hand experience in dealing with it?
Thanks, Karl
