    Default 1911 bent trigger bow.

    Damn, I have a trigger bow that is causing my mag to NOT drop free.
    I am definitely DIY guy, but I have a huge torn tendons on my right wrist. I can't even hold a firearm straight.

    Thinking about buying a tools for long term investment and do it myself.
    Anyone near Thornton area can you recommand?

    It is cheaper and easier to buy a new trigger than to buy a mandrel to straighten it out.

    I would agree with the above recommendation.
    The tools are too expensive to justify unless you have this problem frequently, unlikely.

    You can get a new trigger or try a less sophisticated approach.

    If you want to expand the bow, an inexpensive way would be to get some wood, size it bigger than the bow and drive it in, test the trigger in the frame and do again as necessary. Shouldn't require a lot of hand strength that way.

    +2 on the above.
    A new trigger $20 or so.
    I have tried straightening a few and they just are never quite right.

    Like everyone else, I recommend just replacing the trigger. PM sent as well.
