1911 trigger job

[tdu2011]

Hi, I am just wondering if there is any recommendation of a gunsmith for a 1911 trigger job in San Diego area. And what would the cost be for such job? Thanks a lot.

Send it to the springfield Custom Shop. They do good work.

There's a smith who shows up to Iron Sights (Oceanside) every Monday and hangs there until closing. Ray is his name, I think. He does great work and is affordable. Call Iron Sights first to confirm that he's still there.

Have you thought of doing it yourself?..

Worked out good for me and it was free.

It depends what kind of trigger job you want.

Defense type trigger is easy, just a clean up and tune.

Competition trigger will cost money for it may need replacing MIM parts depending how light you want the trigger.

I have a Springfield TRP. The trigger fair and crisp, but the weight is a bit heavy. I don't have a trigger gauge so not sure what the weight is. I've tried Nighthawk and Ed Brown triggers and really like those. So I hope I could improve my TRP trigger. Thanks for all the help.

You can lighten up your trigger pull by replacing the Springfield ILS with a standard MSH and lighter spring (along with other caveats). There is a thread in 1911 forum that covers the process.

Greg at Ambrose Armory does amazing work with a 1911! You won't be disappointed

Here is your price check to go back to the motherland. http://www.springfield-armory.com/wp...cing2016_1.pdf
There will be a shipping charge (Springfield will get you a better rate) but summary:
$150 - Action job, series 70 pistols (4.5 lb pull or greater) with existing parts.
$275 - Action job with tool steel match hammer & sear, lightweight trigger (Required for trigger pull less than 4 lb)

A quality local shop should be close, bubba job should be much less.

An alternative is to buy a complete trigger kit, and those range around 100-200, so you can have 2 different trigger system/weights. Might be a advantage or dis-advantage, up to you, but just an option.
