Normally I would never comment on things like this but I have to bring up 2 things. One its Impossible to make a 1911 go burst or full from adjusting the over travel screw. IMPOSSIBLE. Second never use sand paper to do a trigger job. Use Arkansas stones to polish. Not sand paper.
I just had to ask you what type of finish is that on your Kimber? I wasn't aware of Kimber having any polished stainless pro or ultra models and it appears that is the finish on it.
@OhioYJ I know. I was just being a smart ass. You could say "smoothing things out" or honing as shaping the metal. On the other hand, grinding/removing metal as profiling. Big difference. I was just making fun of you reiterating so many times but that is probably a good thing.
This video helped me a lot, if the video could have been a bit closer on the edges that needed to be trimmed it would have been even more help. One tip, if you remove the grip safety when fitting a new thumb safety you can see exactly where it makes contact with the sear and remove as needed.
@cxa11 I know, but I figured because of the nature of the video better to be safe than have someone sue me later. I never like mentioning to even check to clear the weapon in the tear down and cleaning videos, because I feel this should be common sense... But safety first.
Thanks for your vid! You have save me at least $125 since that's how much a local gunsmith charges me. On another note, can you tell me how to reduce the take up on the trigger?

@milkygreat - Its is polished. Thanks to Kimbers "cheap" finish, polishing it took only a few minutes.

So should I take off as much metal as possible? Wouldn't an angle grinder work better than tissue or crocus whatever you called it?

Not really the goal is remove as little as possible, but smooth things out.
