Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of MK3 Firearms' single-stage trigger job on a Staccato 2011?

MK3 Firearms' single-stage trigger job on a Staccato 2011 eliminates pre-travel, offering a direct pull to a crisp break. It also provides a positive, audible reset that helps guide the shooter's finger for rapid follow-up shots.

How does a single-stage trigger differ from a two-stage trigger on a pistol?

A single-stage trigger has no pre-travel; the pull goes directly from the start to the break. A two-stage trigger has an initial take-up phase (pre-travel) before reaching a distinct wall, after which it breaks.

What is the typical trigger pull weight for MK3 Firearms' custom single-stage triggers?

MK3 Firearms generally tunes their custom single-stage triggers to a pull weight in the range of 4 to 5 pounds. This provides a light yet controllable trigger for competition or tactical use.

Why would someone pin the grip safety on a 1911 or 2011 pistol?

Pinning the grip safety on a 1911 or 2011 is a modification to ensure the trigger mechanism functions reliably. It removes the need for constant pressure on the grip safety for the hammer to fall.
