magpulled Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I have a range officer in 45 and am looking to upgrade the trigger. I Have been looking at the EGW ultimate trigger kits, but I'm curious if that's the best way to go. Yall please chime in with your experiences and advice. This is my SS rig so I want to get it as good as I can!! Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckaroo45 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 About any of the brand names are excellent. Only thing I'd suggest is find one that does a complete setup Hammer, sear, dis connector, etc, and try the trigger some buddy's guns to determine the weight/ reset that fits how you shoot. Have it fitted by a gunsmith that knows 1911's then go snot out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TISCHLJ Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I have always liked the cylinder and slide complete sets for the ultra light in the ultra light speed 2 combos very hard very effective very long lasting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billm67 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Cylinder and Slide has been around a long time. I have used dozens of Nowlin sets as well...both good parts sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRush Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I've played with a few of the sets and they are generally quite good. I was blown away by the Koenig hammer and EGW sear. I installed a set last night and got a nice, crisp, safe, 1 3/4# pull after balancing the EGW sear spring. As delivered with only spring work it was right at 2# and passed safety checks. A bit of adjustment to the sear angle, and a slight polish of the hooks got it down to 1 1/2#. I added a bit more to the trigger bow return leaf for a more positive reset and done.

Dranoel Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Just put Extreme Engineering sear, hammer and disconnector in both of my new builds. VERY happy with the way they feel. Cleanest trigger out of the box I have ever pulled. And with just a bit of polishing they are awe inspiring. Complete set with super skeletonized hammer was under $140.

Rob1125 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I've always had great luck with the EGW trigger parts. They work well with minimal fitting or adjustment and hold a trigger job for quite a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jid2 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I've found Koenig hammer and EGW sear to be an almost drop-in set of awesomeness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHARLES D Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I have use Brazos Pro Trigger Group. Comes with everything you need. Breaks clean and the reset is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feederic Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 EE seems to work incredibly well out of the package, and has minimal creep compared to every other set I've tried from various mfgs. I must've gotten shafted on my brazos set, it dropped in at 6.5 lbs..I've been meaning to call him about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ltdmstr Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I use SV and EGW hammers, sears, and disconnects on pretty much everything. Triggers are SV for hi-cap and Videki clones for 1911. With a little effort, you can get down as low as 1.5 lb with a trigger that's clean, crisp, 100% reliable, and lasts a long time (50k+). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob DuBois Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Just put the 1911's store"s $149.00 kit in a Springfield Target stainless 9mm. Very pleased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgardner Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 One other component to look at is maybe fitting a short or medium trigger to the setup to best get your finger in the right position. I usually put a bit fatter grips on mine and a Greider short match trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
