Fixing the set trigger on CVA Trapper

[SmokepoleSam]

I have a Traditions that the sear is bent like that brand new they send me a new one but I never installed it because it works fine. Been like that for years.

Looks bent never seen one like that before

I thought it looked bent too. Wonder if I can straighten it

This one does say Traditions on the barrel. I have a hard time believing this is by design to engage the disconnector

I don't believe it was designed that way just that the trigger hits the part that isn't bent.

Does this engaging post look right to you? Is this bent or is this by design?

I've done that to take the trigger slack up before on occasion. I don't care for floppy triggers.

Just sent a picture of my sear arm to Traditions, my sear arm is also bent. Since the trigger bar marks have moved up the arm, I don’t believe it’s by design. This post made me look closer at my Traditions Trapper.

Is a CVA Trapper a handgun?

Therein lies the confusion. In the original post it’s claimed to be a CVA Trapper, but the person later says it says Traditions on the barrel. It’s my understanding that CVA and Traditions were made in the same factory for a number of years. A photo of the entire pistol has never been shown, had it, I have to believe this stream would have been shorter.

I just got an email from Traditions. The sear arm is bent to better engage the trigger mechanism.
