Just be aware, do you feel "luck today" .

I was talking about the trigger, not the trigger lever. I would never think about trying to bend the lever, although I seem to remember seeing a Swiss made tool/jig for doing that in a controlled manner. The trigger shelf seems to be soft/not hardened from my experience.

you treat a trigger lever just like a spring, heat to soften, reform, heat to cherry red, quench, draw back to plum or pidgeon blue.... Walla! Good as new.... best, til...lat'r...GT

Heat treating has never been my forte'. I would need a lot more practice before I tried heating a trigger lever.
