Absolutely worth the money!
This is a very worthwhile device…simple to install. I’ve installed two so far with another one planned. The first was in my own build and the second was for an existing pistol. One required some fitting of the thumb safety…the other needed some fitting of the grip safety. Neither was difficult or extensive. Each pistol has a very crisp trigger pull of 3.7-3.8 lbs. with no creep or roughness.
This was no more expensive…maybe even less expensive…than paying a professional gunsmith for a trigger job…plus the self-satisfaction of doing it yourself.

Drop in trigger
Installation went well. A little fitting of grip safety was necessary. Don’t have a trigger gauge but pull was horrendous and now is very nice. I am very satisfied with this product.
Just a great product
I installed one of these in my Springfield Prodigy, the Prodigy had a 8 pound trigger with lots of creep. This easy installation gave me a crisp safe 3 pound trigger.
1911 Drop-In Trigger Unit
Easy to install but requires the safety to be fitted. My DTU had a 3.5 pound pull after installation. Before installation my 1911 had a trigger pull of 3.5 pounds and I did a trigger job. To install the old parts, the safety must be replaced.
This is a must have!
I think this1911 trigger is awesome. If you count the cost of the parts required and tooling to properly do a good trigger job on a 1911 plus the intensive labor, this is a must have. I think that someday, many new 1911's will come with this device installed. An adjustable trigger pull would be an improvement, but many match rules would not allow it and the trigger is so crisp it not a deal breaker.
Great Addition for my Springfield!
The only inconvenience I experienced was working without a bench block and getting the Springfield ambition safety aligned on reassembly. This isn't any fault of this incredibly well designed aftermarket trigger. The improved fire control is well worth the price and time for installation!
Easy trigger job for 1911
This is the easy, I am not a gunsmith trigger set up, that a handy man can do. My only difficulty was that the Colt thumb safety had to be modified to work properly. I have jewelers files that i keep for my gun projects, so the thumb safety was filed to fit and function. Take it slow and be ready to take your time on the install. Works great and made an okay pistol into a much better shooter.
Nighthawk Drop-in Trigger
Not as easy as I thought it would be, but have it set up now. It says it needs 100 rounds to break it in. That’s where I’m at. Definitely not 3.5 - 4 pounds when I started, but it’s getting better.

NIGHTHAWK CUSTOM 1911 Drop-In Trigger Un
Well made. Hammer is significantly narrower than standard and may be more difficult to pull. No real advantage over doing a trigger job yourself on a quality 1911 except for convenience at a cost.
Hammer Follow
I don't generally write bad reviews unless I truly believe item is bad. This could have a defective product but I got nothing but hammer follows with the DTS. Didnt do any modifications when installing beside filing the thumb safety slightly. I wouldn't recommend this as it's a vital part of the firearm and it's unsafe to use. Like it said it could have just been a defective product. But with my personal experience this didn't hold up.
