1911 EXTREME SERVICE TRIGGER Reviews & Ratings

High-performance trigger is built for shooters who run their guns hard, yet want a precise, smooth, consistent trigger pull. Solid aluminum shoe gives a comfortable, natural finger position to help prevent uneven pressure that can compromise accuracy. Smooth, curved face with radiused edges won't abrade the finger, and a choice of shoe lengths lets you set a length of pull that concentrates the pull force on the centerline of the trigger. Shoe is permanently staked to a non-flex bow of hardened stainless steel with a mirror-polished surface that eliminates friction with the frame. Fixed, internal overtravel stop lets you set the precise amount of overtravel when you install the trigger, and won’t back out over time. Simply file the tip of the stop until it allows the sear nose to clear the hammer hooks and half-cock notch.

SPECS: Stainless steel bow, aluminum shoe, natural silver or black IonBond DLC finish. Shoe is .25" (6.4mm) wide. Length measured from middle of curve in shoe face to back of bow. 1911 – Short: 2.1" (5.3cm) long. Medium: 2.2" (5.6cm) long. Long: 2.25" (5.7cm) long.

Good, but..

I find that short trigger pads provide a more controllable trigger pull for me. So I'm replacing all my triggers. So far I used two of these. On the plus side, they look good and feel good. There's an over-travel adjustment screw, although I didn't have to use it. On the minus side: 1. the first one came in black, the second bunch came more in graphite/shiny dark gray color. I was going to send them back, but cleaned one with a bit of oil and it became black. Which totally works once you figure that out 2. the triggers should be oversized for a good fit. The first one needed fitting into a 1911 builders' frame, but the second dropped right into a S&W. I would prefer to have fitted it myself 3. the bow is a hair long. The bow shall be flush with the frame in the back, this one comes out just a touch. Either you have to fit it (which isn't supposed to be required) or you have to test it and see that it still works with your sear/disconnect. This is critical for safe operation. Mine seems to work, but there's zero take-up. And I mean zero.

Easy to Fit - works like its supposed to

I purchased this trigger to go on a Cimarron 1911 (Rock Island) that had the short/serrated trigger. In trying to keep the outward appearance "Mil-Spec" for SASS Wild Bunch looks, I choose this trigger for its smooth face and fixed overtravel screw. Fitting was minimal, about 5-6 light passes over the screw with a file to allow the trigger to trip the sear. I can't say that it improved the trigger pull but the pull is more comfortable for someone with large hands - the Cimarron had a great, clean breaking pull as it was - look forward to trying it out this weekend

Great trigger!

I purchased this to replace the factory short trigger in my Springfield MilSpec. I like the longer trigger and wanted a black finish to match the gun. This trigger did require some fitting but that's good as it allows you to get a tighter fit. That being said, make sure the trigger slot is completely free of all burrs or rough spots. I experienced some finished loss due to a burr so the DLC may not be as tough as claimed (otherwise I'd give it 5 stars). Other than that I couldn't be more happy with this trigger. It feels great and allows the trigger finger to be placed right where it's supposed to be. This trigger in addition to a Wolff sear spring dramatically improved my trigger pull.
