Hello Everyone, Infinity disconnector is nice part and can get you out of a bind so to speak. The part is nicely machined from bar-stock and has a ball knot near the tip. The purpose of the ball is so the disconnector will swivel in the tunnel with out binding.
Why do you need one of these? Well you don’t really need one for every trigger job but one day you’ll get a job where you’ll have disconnector click that is difficult to remove by staking without binding the disconnector or you’ll get a disconnector tunnel combination that won’t function properly.
You may have a problem on some trigger jobs you never new you had. How many pistolsmiths out there check the weight of the trigger pull when the slide cocks the hammer AND when you cock the hammer with your thumb. Some pistolsmith probably do the trigger job just by thumb cocking.
What happens when the disconnector binds? Do a simple test with your trigger pull gauge. Cock the hammer with your thumb and check the trigger pull weight. Do this a few times, your weight should be consistent, say its 4 lb. Next, cycle the hammer with the slide and check the trigger pull, it should weigh the same, if the weight is heavier, say 4-1/2 lb. the disconnector may be binding in the tunnel. The Infinity disconnector may solve your problem. They are a little expensive but are worth the money if it gets you out of a bind and saves you the extra labor.
One improvement I think could be made or offered as a option is to make the ball knot slightly larger than the nominal hole diameter in the frame and supply the correct reamer so you could ream the frame to get a perfect fit. Metal Smith
