1911 5-PIECE TRIGGER PULL KIT Reviews & Ratings

ED BROWN 1911 5-PIECE TRIGGER PULL KIT

This kit includes our famous Perfection Hammer and mated Perfection Sear, disconnector, sear spring and Government mainspring.

896/897 PERFECTION HAMMER
Completely machined from barstock, these hammers are guaranteed for life against breakage. Improved design with a beautiful chamfer machined all the way around the outside, and also inside the hole. Commander style spur, finely serrated for positive gripping surface. Sides are narrowed to eliminate drag on slide. Lowered strut pin hole reduces full-cock spring pressure. Hammer hooks precisely machined at 020-.022 perfectly square with sharp corners, ready for light, final stoning. Made from alloy steel or stainless steel, heat treated Rc 52-54. The perfect mate for this hammer is our #874 Perfection Sear.

874 PERFECTION SEAR
This sear is precision EDM cut to exacting tolerances and is ready for installation right out of the package. No polishing of angles is required, saving you time and effort while ensuring optimal performance. Engineered for a precise fit, this sear is recommended for use with our Hammer #896 and #897, delivering a clean, crisp trigger pull with minimal hand fitting or tuning required. The geometry is optimized to reduce take-up and creep, resulting in a smooth, consistent break.

811-M PERFECTION DISCONNECTOR
Fully machined from bar stock steel, not cast. The only product of it’s kind. The strongest available, and heat-treated for long life and extreme service use. Machined surfaces are finely finished and dimensionally exact. Designed to work perfectly with our Perfection Sear and Hammer for precise trigger jobs every time. Will work with all 1911 pistols including the Hi-Capacity types.

822 SEAR SPRING
High-quality, tempered spring with extra length on the center leg that allows precise tuning of the disconnector. Helps prevent disconnector failure and gives positive sear engagement. Guaranteed for life against breakage.

816 19# MAINSPRING
Mainsprings wear out due to age and use and should be replaced every 3,000-5,000 rounds. We recommend this spring rather than the factory standard for a lighter, longer-lasting trigger pull. Plenty of power to set off even the hardest of primers.

Nice kit

Drop in for old SA Champion. The only thing is the left side sear pin hole was a little small for the pin, the right one was ok. Had to use rimmer. No other fitting was required. Trigger pull is about 5lb.

Great value for my PT1911

My father gave me a Taurus PT1911 and the OEM trigger was horrible. 8+ pounds of gritty, creepy trigger travel. Just installed this kit and now I am at a crisp, creepless 4.5 lbs! I had never taken a 1911 apart but after watching a few YouTube videos it was not hard. I did have to bend the grip safety leg of the sear spring out as there was not enough pressure to keep it engaged.

Nice for the Price

I installed this kit on an Argentine Modelo 27 (1911A1 clone) when the original trigger pull was measured at 14lbs. I am attempting to save all the original parts in original condition. The kit from Ed Brown allows me to get a usable trigger pull without alteration of the OEM parts. I had to adjust the length of the sear as the hammer was contacting the grip safety prior to lockup. There is a projection from the hammer face that needed to be ground down as the slide wouldn't move past it. It needed about .125" ground off. At the end, though, I ended up with a sub 5# trigger pull and all the safeties functional. There is just a hint of creep, but I want to shoot it a bit before adjusting the hammer hooks or sear angle. It's a vast improvement and I achieved the installation in an afternoon sitting at my desk, except for a trip to the shop to grind down the projection on the hammer face. This was my first 1911 trigger project and I learned a lot.

Ricochet Gun Shop

The kit parts are of high quality and very little to no fitting required to install the parts. works very smoothly after install and no failures noted when test fired. during range fire the fire controls work flawlessly. a smooth and easy trigger pull. I will use this kit with all of my builds that require this kit. you get the most bang for the buck.

Had to Fix my PT1911

Recently bought a Taurus PT1911. After shooting a half dozen magazines the trigger was very gritty with an 8lb pull. After disassembly to check for powder buildup in the trigger bar rails and the gun was pretty clean. Starting looking for a easy to install trigger kit and found this one at Brownells.While installing it the first time to check function, I discovered that Taurus rivets their hammer strut pin in place for their locking hammer feature. So in order to finish the install I replaced the pin and strut with more Ed Brown parts. The install worked so well that the only thing left to adjust was the over travel. I now have a 4lb trigger that works.

Product reviee

The product did not fit the make and model i put in. I ended up having to order my parts from another company.
