A great modification

I have had this trigger installed since about 1990 and many, many rounds later, it won't break like the original plastic part. I replaced all plastic parts early on and my pistol is still like new and is a "go to" summer carry gun. C&S parts have proven their worth to me.

Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Better than the factory

Once fitted and installed, it worked much better than the cheap factory polymer trigger shoe. much tighter tolerances than the original.

P938

I read some things about possible using this in the Sig p938. I took the chance and replaced the plastic trigger in the P938 and this one works great. I have also read you can use this in the p238 as well.

If you have a Colt 380 buy this now.

If you have a Colt 380 buy this now. The cheap plastic trigger that comes in the gun will brake some day. You do not what that to be the day you need it.

A lot better

Much better than the factory plastic junk trigger that brakes.

I would and did buy this product again

Fits perfect in my Sig P238. A great improvement to the factory nylon trigger.
