Why, you send it back to the original source.
This tells us something.
It is not for nothing thatRob Leatham was nicknamed The Great One TGO for short by his peers.
That other resource of Springfield Armory I mentioned is Dave Williams.
Together, they came up with a concept that debuted in 2004.
Made up initially of three guns, the TGO series of .45 ACP pistols was a hit.
I was very impressed so much so that I purchased the TGO II.
I had been shooting 1911 .45s starting in 1960 at the age of 12.
It also let me get more finger on the trigger for greater leverage in fast shooting.
In Practice
The years ticked on.
I used it mainly as a competition gun, appreciating its sweet sub-4 lb.
trigger in matches where hundredths of a second meant winning or losing.
To gain both precision accuracyandthe reliability John Moses Browning designed the platform for was not an inexpensive thing.
I lent it to a lot of other shooters for IDPA, Single Stack and USPSA competition.
As the Indiana Jones character said in that movie, Its not the age, its the mileage.
The mileage, and the wear, was accumulating.
Another reduced it to 3 lbs.
or a little less when I decided to use it strictly for competition again.
I needed to get this pistol back to the original source.
We also replaced the hammer and sear as they had some wear on them from years of use.
This TGO-II still has a full-length recoil spring guide in place.
I think it also promotes smoother cycling.
The recoil spring is 18.5 lbs.
Total cost for the work: $275.
Springfield Custom quotes two to three-week turnaround, and delivered on that, too.
Springfield Armory knows the difference.
Users should, too.
This told me two things about the pistol.
One was that the built-in accuracy was still there.
I did have a called flyer, as noted.
The other thing it showed me was the quality of the custom trigger job.
The group had centered about two inches above the 1.1 aiming dot.
However, I remembered I had sighted this gun in for the Federal HST 230-gr.
+P .45 hollow point that has worked well for me at The Pin Shoot.
The BoMar sights, as expected, had held their zero, and all was well.
ball, and way more than target loads.
This gun has had alotof +P through it.
The trip back to Springfield Custom did exactly as intended.
The trigger is sweet and crisp with no over-travel, also known as backlash.
