Seems to be my week for aquisitions:
« on: August 08, 2011, 07:23:13 PM »
Here's a Springfield 1911 I got today, not such a steal as the Hi-Power but reasonable non-the-less. Aftermarket ambi-safety (owner was a lefty) new grips (original in box) Novaks, trigger and ramp job by Alex Hamilton.....swwweeeeeet!

 




The only thing I don't care for is the trigger, I'd like something shorter, blue and solid.  Ideas encouraged.

Good place to start without getting gouged.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

Yeah thanks guys, I know where to buy them, I guess my query was illphrased - How much of a PITA is it to fit it myself?

Fitting isn't too bad, just polish off any burrs and all the surfaces that rub against the frame and you're pretty much set.I use an extra long trigger in my Colt 1911 and it was close to a drop in fit.

The problem with society today is that not enough of us drink wine from our enemies skulls”.

It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars!!!

Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage. Where are we now??????

Or if you're not handy call MCBrides in Austin. They've been there since forever and have very good gunsmiths for a fair rate. Make a day of it. Drop the pistol, eat a good meal and catch some music.

Lookin good.   

I like the longer, lighter trigger myself.  I'm enjoying my 1911 more since I put it in.

Stock triggers are cheap and easy to replace.   B or M as others have said.
