Not Work in Kimbers
This does not work in Kimber 1911s.
Jury is still out
I had no trouble installing the kit in my Colt 1911 22 Gold Cup from Walther. Everything seemed to be working well at home using dummy ammunition but when I got to the range I had the surprise of the hammer following after the shot. The next round would not go off until I cocked the hammer by hand. Then it fired. I replaced the sear spring with the OEM and everything works fine. I ordered a new sear spring and will give it another try when it comes in. Not bad but until I get it to work I'm giving it a 3.
Okay, but ..
Installed on a Sig 1911 compact. The kit is not as well finished as advertised. Rough edges on sides of sear. Main spring needed adjustment to engage grip safety. Hammer spring is for full size gun. I bought another thumb safety as anticipated replacement so could make sure of a good fit with sear. I didn't need to use it as could fit the original one just fine. I expected a little fitting, especially the thumb safety, but not the sear edges and mainspring. Trigger pull about the same as before at 5.5 lbs. If you're going to install this, I'd highly recommend getting a good pin rebuild kit, they are inexpensive and worth having available. Same goes for a new hammer strut.
50/50
Worked great in my Rock Island tactical full size. Right at the 4.5# advertised trigger pull. My ATI commander, it didn't go so well. The trigger pull is very crisp now, but 1.5# heavier.
needs sodme work
Installed in a Colt Defender, this was an easy install, until I tried to use it. The de burring of the hammer was not well done, with sharp edges galore and copious fitting to have the thumb safety come on without using a hammer. The half c*ck position does NOT release with a simple trigger pull, it locks totally until the hammer is brought to full c*ck and then can be released by the trigger. It operates like the older A1 1911's in this respect. Also, it took many minutes of work with a rose stone and ceramic stone to bring the finish on the hammer and sear to an acceptable clean release .. I got one of the super match kits as well, and it appears to be far better finished right out of the package, so you definitely get just what you pay for.. the cheaper tactical match takes a LOT more hand work and it remains sticky even with the added work on it. Get the tactical II kit for a better deal.
