Good die mate
This die works well, just what is needed for stretching/ straightening bows, and holding steady while stoning and polishing the trigger.

Must have tool
If you do triggers, you need this. I have two; one for shaping and one for polishing. I found this to be essential for correcting triggers, especially for getting the shoe lined up. I use the first one I bought for holding a trigger while I polish the sides and clean up the stirrup. Like a lot of other 1911 specific tools, this tool helps get accurate results quickly.

Right tool for the job
Easy to use. Feels like a $ 200 dollar trigger job. Promise you will use this tool.

it is all good

Simple, durable and effective
This is a simple tool that does one thing well. It's heavier and more durable than I expected and it will be a tool I use for many years to come. It really does a good job of tweaking a stirrup not only for warped or misshapen sides but also for making sure the it's square front to back. Well designed in that the angle of the one side allows stirrups of different sizes to fit. I've only used it a few times but it makes a difference when you're putting effort into all the little details that make a great trigger.

excellent product amazing!!! awesome!!!!
I tried the stirrup on a oem norinco trigger bow. I had to tap it down to conform to the stirrup and tapped it with a brass hammer. It is so easy to use and gets your trigger bow back in line I didn' have any problems of any sort using this stirrup. I should have gotten this stirrup long ago. Excellent is all I have to say about this stirrup.

Simple, effective, easy to use
Got this to fix a less then perfect trigger job and it worked great. A few taps with a nylon hammer and the little waves that ran through my trigger bow were gone. Great for touch ups or if planning to drop in a new trigger.

Worth the price
I tried for a few trigger jobs to place my fingers inside the stirrup to perform the stone work. Each time I ended up with a less than perfect stirrup, which I had to tweak to straighten back for a uniform contact to the trigger track. All of that changed when I bought this jig. It has enough length to fit in your vise, and the best part about this jig is that it will work with any range of LOP. If you do get a trigger that has a bowed/narrowed stirrup the die is solid steel so a few taps from the plastic coated hammer fixes it with no problem. While you are at it, take a look at the track. If it is not smooth, all the stirrup work you did will be for nothing if the track is rough. Brownells has a track stone that is worth looking at. Hope this helps, that's my $.02
