Great item
I purchased this for my Rock Island 1911GI model it did require a few small adjustments. I was able to fit this without going to a gunsmith. The instructions come with the item

1911 Perfection!
Awesome trigger that complements any color frame or grips! Requires sanding on top, bottom, and sides of the shoe to allow the trigger shoe and bow to slide into the frame. I used 320, 600, 1000, 1500, and 2000 grit 3M Wet/Dry sandpaper for autobody finishing to achieve a "drop in" fit, literally. (stand on the muzzle end of frame and allow it to slide into the tracks in the frame under the pull of gravity.) Using an Norton Ultra Fine Arkansas stone I broke the sharp edges on the bow, magazine and frame sides. Polished entire trigger and bow with Meguiar's Mag and Aluminum Polish. It works in the firearm now like ball bearings on glass. Excellent finish and construction. I highly recommend this trigger!
