[QUOTE="Russ661, post: 4275224, member: 52835"] I’ve done 2 1911 type trigger jobs: 1 on my Colt Combat Commander and 1 on my Prodigy. I was able to get ~2.5lbs on the Prodigy and ~3lbs on the Colt thru careful manipulation of the sear spring. .050 take-up, barely perceptible movement at the break and .050 reset. I also installed an ambi safety on the Colt since I am a lefty and replaced the MIM safety parts on the Prodigy with an EGW machined unit. The Colt safety takes ~1lb to put on,~3lb to switch off. The Prodigy safety takes 2.5 lbs to switch on, 2.9lbs to switch off. Both are very positive with no over travel or looseness. Neither job was all that difficult although both required assembly/disassembly of the weapons multiple times until I was happy with the results. If you have the patience, time and average or better motor skills you should give it a try. A positive outcome is very rewarding! ETA: I just noticed that this is an old thread, my bad! [/QUOTE]
