Trigger job?

What I like about that article is that several times the author admonishes the reader to fully understand the firing mechanism before attempting any improvements. If that advice is followed and the pistol's operation observed carefully it should be possible to determine what might be causing the poor trigger performance.

I would suggest complete disassembly (including removal of the sear bar and transfer lever), inspect (preferably with magnification), clean lubricate then reassemble and test before attempting any physical adjustments. The only time I fiddle with trigger components is to correct malfunction. To me, getting good accuracy without resorting to physical modification is part of the fun and challenge of firing older firearms.

I when I find myself missing nice triggers I shoot modern pistols.
