well worth it

I bought the Nowlin Pro-Match trigger job for my Remington R1 1911. There were a couple of minor issues with the installation. I had to do a bit of filing on the sear to get the thumb safety to slide back in place. Also, The sear spring needed some minor adjustment to get the grip safety to function properly. This was the first 1911 pistol I'd taken apart. It's a bit surprising how small the parts are for a relatively large pistol. If you keep track of all the parts and watch the installation video on the Brownells website, there shouldn't be any problems. The bottom line for me is that the trigger pull on the my R1 is lighter and more consistent now.
