1911 barrel link question

I'd say just buy a Glock!

I see why people love their glocks, I think they are fine pistol as well, as long as they dont rustle the jimmies.
 
Folks,

I have never claimed to know it all, there is always something to learn. Some of my methods, seem more madness, but I have learned these things from people that have seen it happen and have had to deal with the aftermath. I dont ever want to leave doubt about my work, not in my mind, and damn sure not in the minds of my customers.
 
"When I start to look at a trigger, the position of the slide disconnect recess is directly related to the link size in the barrel"

You have given a good explaination of things to look for, but you have still failed to tell me how a link's height can move the slide forward and backwards....which is what it would take to "reposition" the disconnector recess in relation to the disconnector, which is what you orriginally stated. When the pistol is all locked up and in the case of the 3 I tried, the back of the slide is absolutely even with the back of the frame where the rails ride no amount of short or over linking made the slide move relative to the frame...they were always dead even, which tells me the link can't move the slide which..once again... is the only way the recess can move in relation to the disconnector.....soooo you can see my confusion and rustlation.
 
This is all based off a .278 link, if you add more or take away when you fit your barrel it's going to change the timing of the two, the Barrel has to travel further.

what I am looking for is where it is at; before I start the trigger work, if you don't have a point of reference, what do you do, re cut the recess forward, deepen it, change disco length, all I am saying is it gives me a starting point.
 
So, to simplify(as I have played with this before), the disconnect depends on the slide being in its proper position to function. The slide can only be in its proper position of it moves all the way forward into battery. The barrel must be able to lock up properly with the correct length link, too long will force the barrel up too soon and catch on the slide, but too short and it won't have sufficient force to "lock" the barrel lugs into the slide lugs? Is that pretty much it?
