Does the Kimber "kidney bean" trigger go by another name?

I love the stock look of my classic gold match but the trigger is pretty beat on it, it has wobble where it attaches to the trigger bow and the bow itself has been mangled and straightened quite a few times.

Has anyone reused their trigger and pinned it to a new bow?
Can I buy an exact replacement? I don't know what that mill pattern is called to look for it properly.
I was thinking of trying to transfer it to another bow and if that fails buy a three hole trigger and see if I can connect the holes with a dremel convincingly enough.


That right there is the pic from when I bought it about three years and a half ago

While it's referred to generally as a "Gold Cup" trigger style, true Colt Gold Cup triggers are wider and require different frame trigger slot machining than standard triggers. I don't know if your Gold Match trigger is that wide.

Have you called Kimber and tried to order a replacement?

Kimber is no help. This is an old series one and I only want to keep the same look for aesthetic reasons.


Aging gracefully considering all the .45 that goes through her to say nothing of the .22.
She deserves a proper trigger I'll get a blank and have it machined out if I can't find something suitable.
