natman, in your illustration of the "uncocked" trigger, you depict a gap, shown in red, between the connector and the trigger lever. That gap is only present for a split second, from the moment the sear drops, to the minute the finger is removed from the trigger lever, at which point, on a properly maintained and adjusted trigger, the trigger lever rotates forward, due to spring tension against the connector, thereby closing the gap, or red area.
