ULGY BUT... WORKS REALLY WELL
I thought I was going to absolutely hate this cause I prefer the three hole trigger shoe on 1911, but to be completely honest I think it feels better and works better being solid the feedback on the shoe how the trigger moves in the frame I honestly fell in love with it because I think it is 1000 times better than a 3 hole.
First trigger install. Easy, amazing.
Installed on Colt O1911C, slightly tight on the top of the frame. 400 grit sandpaper and wetstone for about 2 minutes removing the bare minimum between testing and ended up with a great trigger pull. Milimeter of take up and then the hammer drops. First time installing and fitting a trigger. Will definitely be doing again. Wasnt sure how i would like the flat trigger and it is weird at first but feels great. Needed a longer trigger than the A1 style on there originally. Great deal, great product, fast shipping. Will buy again
Excellent!
I like flat triggers in my 1911's and this 10-8 product doesn't disappoint. Every 1911 manuf frame is a little different, this one in to a Rock Island was a drop in but I've fit the shoe before in other manuf 1911's. Must always be prepared to hand fit on a 1911. Very happy with it either way.
Fantastic
The negative reviews on this are clearly from people that have never worked on a 1911 before. This trigger, like all quality 1911 triggers, requires hand fitting. This is not a drop in part... heck you wouldn't want a drop in trigger, this is a 1911 it's supposed to be hand fitted! That means shaving the top and bottom of the trigger with a stone and sandpaper for an hour or so to get things perfect and bending the bow to fit your gun. Once everything is set the trigger is perfect. This is definitely a "long" trigger so keep that in mind if you prefer the shot triggers. Love the way it feels and the aggressive/unique look.
Recommend
Works and feels great. Dropped one in a RIA government, no fitting required. Second one in a RIA officer's model. Worked excellent after slowly filing the overtravel screw. Slowly, did two iterations of assemble/dis to get it right. Now perfect, tremendous feel, highly recommend.
Easy to install, good value, effective.
I have been looking at this trigger for a very long time. It was purchased to replace the plastic trigger of a RIA 1911A1-FS. After watching Brownells Web-Bench (repeatedly) I got this installed and tested it out at the range, it was incredible. I am highly impressed with the product and as always Brownells got me the part within a few days. It wasn't very difficult to install and I only needed basic tools to get it done. Thanks 10-8 and Brownells!
Great Trigger
Just installed this Trigger into my Sig Target 1911. The installation was easy and required little effort to properly fit (super easy). I really like the way that the flat trigger feels and functions.
My favorite trigger
Have used this on 2 different 1911s, just a touch of fitting but is easily done, try one and you'll probably never use another trigger again
Will use again.
Minor fitting. Looks good.
Awesome!
I have this trigger on an old Colt GM. For 17 years I had an extra short trigger on it and loved it. Then on a whim I switched the trigger to the flat 10-8. I was amazed at how quickly I came to appreciate it. Same finger position every time, and feels comfortable even with my "Burger King" hands. I was able to fit this trigger myself with the instructions provided.
