    SA 1911 Mil-Spec Trigger upgrade

    Hello,

    I have a SA mill-spec stainless 1911 with about 350 rounds through it. I just took it apart tonight and stripped it to clean/detail it. I figured since its all apart soaking in CLP cleaner I would look into ordering an aftermarket trigger.

    I am pretty new to these being my first pistol and all but what I am going for is to make my mil-specs trigger feel and pull the same as a TRP operator. Would this require some gun smithing or a couple parts I could buy and stick inside?

    Cylinder and Slide has some great drop in kits, with all the parts to make it a lighter trigger with a clean break.

      Although most triggers need some type of fitting by a gunsmith, I have heard some people have luck with the Cylinder & Slide (* actually re-branded Extreme Engineering) kits dropping right in.

        I have a Greider Precision Mid Length Solid Trigger installed in one of my Springfield. I highly recommend it.

          I installed the cylinder & slide trigger kit recently into my Springfield Milspec. The trigger was the only thing I didn't really like about the gun so I decided to try to change out the trigger myself. I think I got the 3.5# one. I haven't gotten a chance to take it out to shoot yet but the pull feels significantly lighter than stock when I dry fire it. The skeletonized hammer included in the kit wouldn't fit the stock beavertail but everything else was drop in.

              Sorry, but that doesn't sound very drop-in to me. You ever get that hammer to work?
