TERRIBLE

After installing a C&S "no bite" hammer with excellent results, I decided to try the wide trigger-along with a new Wolff spring. Do NOT buy this trigger. The geometry is all out of spec, nothing fits properly, and it most certainly is not "drop in". After some careful work with a Dremel, I did get the trigger to fit. But, it was unreliable, and the trigger bar doesn't fit properly. The trigger actually seized up several times. I removed it, placed it in my junk box, and replaced it with the OEM trigger and the Wolff spring..

out of spec, would not function un BHP

I had issues with recess for trigger lever also. When installed, the trigger lever interferred with slide and required shortening trigger lever to install slide. Bad idea. Trigger would trip hammer in dry fire test, but failed to trip hammer during live-fire. I had to order a new trigger lever and re-install old trigger. Shame of it is, years ago I had ordered and installed this trigger on my 1st BHP and it worked great and like the broader trigger face. But the 2nd one I received was junk

Flawed By Design

Flawed by Design ! This trigger is manufactured with a receiving recess that is to large for the trigger lever to work correctly. Consequently, when you install the trigger assembly, the tension from the trigger spring causes the trigger lever to cant sideways and tension itself against the frame. This causes the trigger not to recover correctly when tuned for a performance trigger pull. I first brought this situation to Bill's (Owner of C&S) attention 4 years ago. He admitted the flaw and committed to changing it on the next production run. Four years later they are doing it again ! When I brought this to their attention this time, I received a refund ! Please don't use this product until C&S fix the problem. Ironically, I continue to use other trigger parts by C&S with good results. I am a trade school educated, Professional Gunsmith working full time in the industry for the past 15+ years.
