Took my new CMP 1911A1 shooting yesterday.

Thanks for your information and advice. I appreciate it.
I don't want to mess up a good thing.
I took some photos of the parts.
Sorry for the soft focus but I think you can see the difference in wear.

I hope you can see these. If not I'll change the lens and see if I can do any better.
Thanks Again for your response.

What you are seeing isn't wear, but where the diamond points didn't fill out when the trigger was manufactured. Notice that some of the diamond points have a dimple in the end from where the metal was not completely forced up into the die.

The Model 1911 trigger and MSH were completely smooth, and some shooters prefer them. The small inconsistencies in the checkering shouldn't cause any problems with accuracy.

Thanks Johnny P.
I had a Rem-Rand with a stamped trigger. It's not one of those.
I've read about stamped and milled triggers.
Are some die cast?
I tried to get some better photos of my worn trigger. These are a little better.
Even with a tripod I can't get it sharp. I need a real close up lens.

So I've got some time on my hands with the Chi-Comm Bio-Weapon Plague and all.
Been inventorying my old ammo. I have a dozen boxes of the old paper hulled shells left.
.410, 20 ga, 16 ga, 12 ga. We had cases and cases of each.
My duck hunting buddy and I were given them in the early '80s.
Our kids could never shoot them all up. We tried, 40 years ago.
This was my Pinterest project (yeah right!) for yesterday.

It Was Fun.

Take Care, Be Well,
