Idk where y'all get this 5 or more lb trigger pull. Mine has always been 4 and so is my buddies. Idk maybe our batch was made better idk but the trigger pulls I've seen on 5 or more guns have always been 4lbs.
I was using a mechanical trigger pull scale from wheeler, I am sure there's a variance between operators. Either 4# or more, the upgrade EGW kit made a difference.
Bought a 4.25” last month. It was 6-6 1-4# out of the box! Took it apart and cleaned up the ignition parts and all contact surfaces. Tuned the sear spring and I’m getting 3 3/4# pull every time. Just curious if the EGW disco runs smoother? I will replace the ignition eventually but my gun fund was empty after the Prodigy purchase.
guys are crack’n on your vid….i see potential and over time it’ll get better if you stick to it. i have the 4.25 and will be upgrading my trigger soon.
I don’t get it the volumes terrible you basically just showed us how to put it back together and you didn’t show us any takedown on the seer or disconnect. Did you smooth them out or what?
@consumerreview2284 Sure, the audio is not great. The video is mostly about the EGW kit and how well it fit in the pistol without modification, not about modification to the sears or parts engagement. If you are familiar with 1911/2011 the disassembly is basically the same. I did a separate video on that process...figured it wasn't necessary to do it again.
You don't need to do this to fix that issue, I did it because of the MIM parts and wanted add'l adjustments to the trigger. I would check your sear/disconnector/grip safety spring first. Also check your trigger overtravel setting screw.
The thumb safety is a fitted part. I would not modify the stock thumb safety in case you want to go back with the OEM disconnector and sear. Since you have the EGW thumb safety, you will need to fit that to the new sear. I don't have a video to do that, but you can search RUclips for fitting 1911 thumb safety. It is important that this is done correctly for function and safety since it involves restricting the movement of the sear against the hammer.
Yeah, not going to mess with any of the stock parts. I haven't run into many people or videos of people having issues with the thumb safety fit, so was curious if you did. Appreciate the response, and thanks for the video.@@redarmory
@@TannerCavaille Sorry I misunderstood your question. I did not have to do anything to the OEM safety, but when I added the DoubleTap thumb safety, It had to be fitted.
@user-tv1lq6db9n Did you have the hammer cocked back and insert left side thumb safety at roughly the 10 o'clock position while pushing the safety detent that is underneath the safety?
@consumerreview2284 I did not polish any of the engagement surface, only the disconnector and the sides of the sear. I only use fritz since the EGW was s'pose to be minor to none fitting.
Word of caution, test fit prior to doing any sanding and/or polishing. Parts you get might fit perfectly in your Prodigy. If you chose to go forward with it, I used a high grit sand paper on flat plate only on the sides of the sear (not on the engagement surface). As for the disconnector, same thing only on the circumference of the tip that protrude through the frame. I then finished it off with flitz by hand. Again to reiterate, no engagement surface was touched or modified.

Great video. Waiting for my EGW Ignition kit and thumb safety to arrive. Thanks for sharing. Just sub'd.
Looks like someone fell asleep in the passenger seat with their arm out the window on a long drive
🤣🤣🤣If I get a penny for everytime that was said...but just a birthmark.

👍Will do. Thanks.

Did this fix the sloppy disconnect hangup when racking the slide?

Did you have to do any polishing to your thumb safety? My egw and stock safeties don't fit with the new egw ignition kit. Thanks.

I see u r messing with my gun lol
You do know they make more than one, right? 🤣
What stone did you use 1000 grit polish ?
@consumerreview2284 I did not polish any of the engagement surface, only the disconnector and the sides of the sear. I only use fritz since the EGW was s'pose to be minor to none fitting.
We can't hear you.
Yea, a few commented on it and currently working with different equipment. Still learning. Thank.
What did you use to polish those parts?
Word of caution, test fit prior to doing any sanding and/or polishing. Parts you get might fit perfectly in your Prodigy.

Understood, what grit sandpaper did you use?
@@AA_Tactical. the highest I had on hand was P800 but I would get higher if able...can take off slowly, can't put back.
Could be a good video if sound was better
yea, was commented on by another viewer, working on getting a overhead stand and new camera.
Something is wrong with your volume dude...in and out too much.
Yea, I think a new camera setup is warranted...volume fluctuate and will shut off intermittently.
holy bad audio.
Thanks for your input. I hope to get better at it, still a learning curve for me.
