FUmiYAsu Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Just started liking 1911s but noticed that a lot of them have skeleton trigger and hammer...What do they do? Does the physically lighter trigger give lighter pull?Does the light hammer hit faster? Also...does anyone know whether the WA metal chambers fit in the KJW Para?? Link to post Share on other sites
destrukto Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 The skeleton hammer is used as a cost-saving measure on the real steel, and they reduce weight somewhat.. I'm not too sure about the trigger though, I've seen them before on match grade pistols, so I'm reasoning that it's to lighten the trigger itself to get as light of a trigger pull as possible. Match grade pistols and rifles tend to have really light trigger pulls to begin with Link to post Share on other sites
freshy Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 the 1911 are incredible, happy shooting to you Link to post Share on other sites
FUmiYAsu Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Thanks...anyone know anything abt the Para?... Link to post Share on other sites
JaredLeto Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Thanks...anyone know anything abt the Para?... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What do ya wanna know? I'm 35% sure WA chambers fit the KJ one. I haven't tried yet as I don't have a problem with the plastic one. Link to post Share on other sites
dirty mao Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 WA chambers fit the KJ para, as long as they're from older magna pistols, and not the newer SCW ones. Link to post Share on other sites
Megalomaniac Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Most WA magna series parts fit although KJW chambers won't work with WA barrels and vice versa. If you get a new chamber you need a new outer barrel and vice versa, Link to post Share on other sites
garry Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 The skeletonised hammer and trigger are both I believe, mainly weight saving and decorative. A skeletonised trigger I doubt will reduce the pull.... Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 The KJW Para and M1911 metal versions have plastic chambers don't they? Also, which companies, if any, sell the KJW M1911 with a metal barrel? Link to post Share on other sites
destrukto Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 it doesn't have any effect whatsoever on the the trigger spring, it reduces the physical weight of the trigger itself, thereby reducing trigger pull, if only by a small amount. But when it comes to competition shooting, which is where you see this type of trigger most often used, you take every single small advantage that you can get The skeleton hammer isn't decorative, it's there because it's cheap and it reduces weight Link to post Share on other sites

Also, which companies, if any, sell the KJW M1911 with a metal barrel? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes it comes with plastic chambers....and no company sells it with a metal chamber... but then getting a metal chamber and barrel for it costs around US 70 which compare to the price of the gun, US 103 seems a bit much.. the thing tht bothers me is tht there is no trades. Getting a nice steel chamber with words on it is a must for me for 1911s... Hopefully, I should be able to get them in Hong Kong in the summer and HK street prices are generally lower than website prices... Link to post Share on other sites
