Re: What Wrong With Series 80 Pistols?

To my simple mind, the chance of inertia fire is best reduced by reducing inertia. A lightweight firing pin, such as titanium, won't have enough inertia to ignite a primer no matter how hard the gun is hit.

Re: What Wrong With Series 80 Pistols?

I believe the purists' argument goes like this: "If the trigger has to do anything other than trip the sear, the secondary function(s) introduce travel and slop."

On a practical level for most shooters, we're still talking about a single action 1911 trigger. Compared to DA or partially pre-cocked systems, it's practically an instantaneous "bang" switch.

Bullseye shooters, I'm sure, can tell the difference. They're an odd subculture of the shooting sports, so attuned to every nuance that they probably pay attention to latitude so they can adjust for the earth's rotation.
