Consistent quality
I am a gunsmith and have installed several Nighthawk triggers, short and medium length. The consistency is fantastic, with all of them being .920 to .9205. With some frames, a few swipes was all that was needed. Others needed milling, but always a perfect fit. The feel is excellent, with the serrations being "tactile" without being sharp or rough on the edges. Also, the picture in the add doesn't show forward adjustment "tabs" or anything, but every trigger I have installed has both for and aft adjustments.

Great Trigger
I put this in a SA Range Officer that I use for Competition at PPC matches . 1911's fit my hand great but I have short fingers. By installing this trigger I have now achieved the same trigger placement on index finger on all my comp guns ( revolvers included ), NICE to have consistency for all. pros - easy to install only a few passes over a course grit stone then a few over a 1000 grit stone . solidly made. once fit for height everything else just fell into place . cons - having to wait for it to show up in the mail

Great upgrade
Used this as part of an upgrade to my Springfield 1911 Mil Spec. Had to slightly file the shoe to make it fit but that's a plus since I could perfectly fit it to my frame and eliminate all slop. The bow fit perfectly in the frame and pulls as smooth as silk. With the set screw in the trigger I was able to eliminate overtravel as well. Fantastic trigger.

Great trigger
Installed this in my Springfield Mil-Spec. Had to do minor fitting to get it not to stick. Hardly any play vertically or horizontally.

WOW! AWESOME!!!
The fitting was perfect on my Colt Commander after squeezing the bow a tiny bit. Now the trigger is extremely smooth, precise, clean, crisp, light, and the annoying rattle and the wobble is gone. This [$]part pimped my Colt Commander to look like a $2500 gun. Buy it, it is worth every penny and you won't regret it.

Excellent on a SIG GSR compact
My gun smith put this in my sig 1911 compact carry and he seemed surprised that no fitting was required. I noticed that it fit snugger than the original with no vertical or horizontal movement

Stock look, Premium Quality.
This has been installed on a Springfield Armory 1911 A1 pattern frame. The bow is a perfect fit in my frame with no wobble or slop. The shoe needed a little stoning but that is to be expected, the shoe is the perfect width as there is no wobble or slop there either. The shoe is crimped to the bow rather than pinned and it is a solid unit. I think finding a better trigger than this for the money would be a difficult task.

Very Nice for the Money
I used this trigger in a SS Essex frame Government Model that I built up from scratch. After the frame's trigger channels were coated with Brownell's Gunkote and lapped, trigger feels as if it is on ball bearings. Bow sides are smooth and burr free inside and out; and have no noticeable contact with magazine (trigger pull is same weight and feel with or without mag). Bow length is a little bit long in my frame (could very well be the iffy frame). Works very well once everything (grip safety, sear, thumb safety, hammer, disconnector) was fit together.
