Sig 1911 trigger replacements????

[Pow221]

Anyone know where to get sig made trigger replacements? or are there better alternatives such as the wilson light triggers that are reliable?

I like my 1911 trigger like I like my women...

Short and flat...

Oh wait...that doesn't sound right.

Triggers on 1911's should be "fitted". Most parts on 1911's are not "drop-in" parts, they require "fitting" especially the trigger and safeties.

If you are changing the trigger for cosmetic reasons, don't even think about it. You would be messing up a good trigger out of the box for no reason.

Since you are asking this question I will assume that you do not have the technical experiences to fit a 1911 trigger yourself. Smiths cost money and using a smith is the only way you are going to get good results when replacing a trigger on a 1911.

But, Midwayusa.com, brownells.com, fusionfirearms.com all have 1911 triggers for sale.

Good luck.

Doing a trigger job on a 1911 is not a DIY job but replacing a trigger isn't difficult if you take your time on most 1911s. I have not done a swap on a Sig. With most aftermarket triggers all that needs to be fitted is the trigger shoe to the frame. They leave just a tiny bit of meat on the top and bottom so that you can take off just enough for it to move freely without leaving any up and down play. What you want to make sure of is that when you take material off the shoe (top or bottom or a bit of both) that you leave the bow sliding freely. In other words do a tiny bit at a time making sure that everything lines up. It's rare that you need to do anything to the bow but it's possible. When finished place the hammer in the half-cock position and make sure that the hammer will not fall when you pull the trigger and then cock it and make sure the safety works. There are lots of YouTubes on the subject.

Where it gets complicated is if you swap in a trigger that has tabs to adjust take up. That's all I use and that is complicated because you'll have it apart and back together several times tweaking the tabs and doing the half-cock and safety test. It's both normal and necessary that they be some take up and if there isn't enough the hammer will drop when the hammer is in the half cock position which is unsafe. I don't recommend messing with adjustment tabs for a first project.


I use these STI triggers.
