para1445 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I'm using a 14.45 LTD para for Limited division. I'm feeling the need to replace the factory parts with aftermarket stuff. Such as trigger, hammer, sear, etc. etc. I also want to do my own trigger job. Any suggestions on what to get/replace and what manufacturer. I'm kinda leaning to Ed Brown's gear. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ima45dv8 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I put the Extreme Engineering kit in my P14 and couldn't be happier. Money well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 The Para system uses a different type of sear engagement, and I was unable to get my trigger pull down to where I wanted it (2 pounds and crisp) without the hammer following occasionally using the stock parts. Bad stuff. I wanted to keep the cost on my P14-45 Limited project as low as possible, so I decided to try the Wilson "value line" hammer and sear (I kept the stock disconnector and sear spring). After a little work with my Ed Brown sear jig and my white ceramic stone, and adjustment of the sear spring tension, the trigger on this gun is now excellent! It will be interesting to see if my trigger job on these MIM parts will hold up long term, but after a year and a half it's doing great! My favorite combination is the Koenig hammer and EGW sear....but it's also a quite a bit more expensive proposition. Good luck, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genghis Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Mike Caylor of Caylor Custom Guns did a great job on my P14.45, and the cost was very reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 +1 on the extreme engineering hammer, sear and disco. thats what i bought for my new open gun...great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spd522 Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 My Paras all have some common parts and some different. In doing so, I have learned which items I prefer and would use if I build yet another Para or any 1911 for that matter. C&S Ultralight hammer. sear, disconnect STI for Para Trigger (if you can find one) EB Tactical ambi safeties EB Beavertail EB extended Mag release (not large button) S&A flat Magwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 extreme engineering makes those cylinder and slide hammers, sears and disconnector. you can save about 20 bones by buying them under the EE brand name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads-up. I will go that route next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahtsay Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Just a quick question....is the EE trigger kit a drop in item? Will a newb be able to put it in himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spd522 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Just a quick question....is the EE trigger kit a drop in item? Will a newb be able to put it in himself? Should be able to as the sear and hammer engagement surfaces are already set for the right angles. There is always the chance even drop in items will need some tweaking though.
