1911 TRIGGER PULL KITS Reviews & Ratings

Each kit is tested on a Series 70-style frame to make certain it will produce the specified pull weight with little or no fitting. Parts are wire EDM cut from bar stock, honed and polished, then heat treated for years of service life. All profiles and through-holes are mechanically correct to function without hand fitting. Sear nose has correct relief angle, sear spring is narrowed to reduce pull weight. Exposed hammer edges on Ultra-Light, Super Match and Tactical II are chamfered to minimize slide drag and clothing wear. Each kit contains a hammer, sear, disconnector, sear spring and hammer spring. ULTRA LIGHT KIT - 3.5 lb. pull weight. Ultra light, skeletonized, hammer; relieved to prevent frame rub. Ultra light match sear and disconnector. Lightened sear spring, 18 lb. hammer spring. ULTRA LIGHT SPEED II KIT - 3 lb. pull weight. Low-profile, skeletonized hammer relieved to prevent frame rub; ultra-light weight cuts lock time to a minimum. Deep, crisp serrations ensure secure thumb contact for fast, positive cocking. Properly matched spring weights give the specified pull weight and ensure positive ignition.

Walther Colt 1911-22

Installed Cylinder & Slide Ultra Light Speed II kit CS377... in my Walther Colt Gold Cup 1911-22 (.22lr). Fit in gun fine. Love the crisp trigger break. However, the hammer seems to be a little too short, when you cycle the slide, the hammer isn't pushed far enough back to lock in cocked position. I called Cylinder & Slide, they said it sounds like the sear nose would have to be shortened. But my understanding is, these parts are custom fit/polished, then re-heated to harden. Stoning the nose of the sear would defeat this expensive process. I also asked Cylinder & Slide about the hammer main spring included in the kit (included spring made hammer harder to cock), tech said it's not intended for .22lr...too stiff. Said to use original hammer main spring that comes with the gun for proper cycling. I spoke with Brownells and they are happy to return the kit for full refund. I am trying CS0214 Ultra Light Trigger pull kit, has a different hammer (looks a bit taller) that others have had success with in this type of gun. Hopefully it will work?

Installed in Walther Colt 1911-22

I purchased, from Brownells, after reading that other have successfully installed C&S trigger kits into their Walther Colt Gold Cup 1911-22, .22lr ...... everything went fine up until I racked the upper slide back for the first time. Turns out the hammer is slightly too short for the slide to lock hammer into fire position. I have a call into C&S to see if they offer a different hammer that is 1/32" taller? Maybe the Ultra Light Speed II hammer is weight relieved to the point it's a slightly shorter hammer? The top edge of the hammer did come filed off.

minor fitting is required

The tools needed are a punch, a file, roll pin holder and a hammer. The safety will need fitting if it doesn't drop in on its own. Go very slow with only a few passes then check for fit. IT WON'T NEED MUCH . Remember you can't put metal back once its gone. Use the punch to remove the hammer strut pin and the roll pin holder replace it into the new hammer. That's it. Install the new parts and safety and function test. Easy as pie. Take time and enjoy it. You now have a exceptional 4lb match style trigger for your 1911.

Good parts but fitting is required.

The kit installed and improved the trigger pull of my Series 70 Colt. This was the first time I disassembled the frame. I would suggest installing an new after market grip safety as the stock Colt grip safety prevented the new hammer from going to the fully cocked position. I had to grind the stock grip safety to make things work and to successfully re-install the thumb safety. All safety checks passed and the trigger pull was sweet.

Good parts but fitting is required.

Internally, I did not have to do any fitting for my Colt Series 70. However, I had to shave the top of the stock grip safety to allow the new hammer to go to the fully cocked position. Once that was done, installation was easy for a first timer. I would suggest buying a replacement grip safety along with this kit. These aftermarket grip safeties have a groove machined in them to allow the new hammer to be fully cocked. With this kit installed, the trigger pull was just what I wanted and improved accuracy substantially.

Nice Upgrade - Some Fitting Required

I installed the C & S Tactical II Trigger Pull Kit on a Springfield Armory "Loaded". The quality and value are very good, although some fitting was required: The thumb safety, and using a Dremel to remove material from the cavity of the beavertail so the hammer wouldn't snag and catch when cocked back.

Great Product!

Installed on a Springfield GI-45 frame. All parts fit into frame without modification. The only thing was the factory hammer strut pin did not fit into the new hammer. I had to use a different pin. The new trigger is clean and crisp. Only a small amount of take up in the trigger, but I'm using the factory trigger as well. I'm looking forward to being able to use this gun in pistol matches now. Overall, worth the money for sure. I would recommend this product.

Not quite drop in

I installed the trigger kit. Most of the parts dropped in but the sear and hammer both needed fitting (2 hours of work for me) in order to function correctly. I was installing in a mil spec Springfield (circa 2000). I was having trouble with the safety being very hard to engage. The end result though is beautiful. The trigger has no creep and feels better than most rifle triggers I have.
