BangSwitch Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Which flat trigger are you planning to install? are you doing anything special with the sear spring? I’ve seen things like titanium sear springs and springs for trigger pulls < 4.5lbs - but have no idea of the reputation of those parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWprotected Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I don't know about some of the other parts listed, but every custom builder I have dealt with likes EGW parts. I have them in all of my 2011s and the triggers on my open guns are a little less than 1.5#s and the older one probably has 30K on it without any issues. EGW sears a through hardened so they are supposed to last a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently looking at WILSON COMBAT - 1911 ULTRALIGHT MATCH TRIGGER. https://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/trigger-group-parts/trigger-parts/triggers/solid-flat-ultralight-match-trigger-sku965000064-26350-51737.aspx I am also thinking of getting CYLINDER & SLIDE - 1911 LOW MASS MATCH HAMMER SET, 5 PC. https://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/trigger-group-parts/hammer-parts/hammer-sear-sets/1911-low-mass-match-hammer-set-5pc-sku206000063-79958-166659.aspx Gun and paper work is not at my place yet, so will need to wait for those to show up.

I looked the part up on the C/S website. It's designed for use with trigger pull weights under 4.5# Other than that, I don't know much about it. Looking forward to hearing your feedback once all the work is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eureka1911 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I have the C&S light sear spring in my SA loaded. I used John Harrison's True Radius hammer/sear/disconnector I had previously gotten my trigger down to around 4.5# doing some polishing of the trigger bow/track, etc. I now have a very nice crisp trigger that breaks at an average of 3lb 3oz. While I was at it I swapped out the ambi safety for one of Harrison's extreme service single thumb safties. Feels better to my thumb and I like the single side TS. https://cylinder-slide.com/Item/CS0094 https://shop.harrisoncustom.com/hd-120-ss-extreme-service-ignition-set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magictalent Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 Little update on my SS project. End up I did not replace any of the internal parts. Without do any internal part changes, I can tune the trigger pull to 2 lbs. Gun weight 42.7 oz. Non-ramp barrel. Works with HP and RN bullets. Now I end up with a set of internal on hand and not knowing what to do. Maybe it is time to work on another 1911. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fo0 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 did you stone the hammer hooks and sear or just bend the sear spring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I would save them, you will probably need them after your gun goes full auto on you. Usually not a good idea to do much polishing or shaping on MIM parts. They tend to be surfaced hardened only, go through that and they will round pretty quickly. Thats why most folks change the hammer and sear to one of these hardened tool steel sets people have listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magictalent Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 I have play around with the gun for almost a month now. More than 2K through it. Works great. I have try below loads Best feel at my hand #14 VP recoil spring Campro 230 HP, Titigroup 4.2 GR at OAL 1.20. PF 167.5 IPSC load #14 VP recoil spring Campro 230 HP, Titigroup 4.5 GR at OAL 1.20. PF 175 Hot load #16.5 VP recoil spring Campro 230 HP, Titigroup 4.8 GR at OAL 1.20. PF 182 Any one have detail load data for 230 gr bullet with VV N320? PF around 175 will be great.

Which is exactly why I swapped out the sear/disconnector/hammer on my Springfield loaded for John Harrison's True Radius ignition set. Well worth the money!! BTW, for USPSA I am shooting some locally available reloads. 230 gr TMJ at 750FPS for a PF of 172. Very easy shooting loads Had zero problems with any steel targets as well (as long as I hit the damn things!!).
