Springfield Armory trigger replacement
« on: May 10, 2010, 10:23:44 AM »
I want to replace the stock trigger on my Mil-Spec that is longer, like the one on my SA Stainless Target model. Any suggestions/recommendations from someone who has done the same thing?  I am assuming the SA Target model is a "medium" trigger but not sure. I see no need to change anything else, I just would like a longer trigger similar to the Target model. Your help is appreciated.

Depending on what you are looking for.
Try Brownell's
SVI
Wilson
There are so many.
I like combat trigger's and short ones at that.

Roger that folks!  The one in my MIL-SPEC is a short one and I would like a medium.  I would like suggestions on those who actually replaced the mil-spec trigger if possible.  This is due to the fact each manufacturer has different dimentions etc. It would make my choice of manufacturer a little easier and save me from making a mistake.  Your help is appreciated guys... thanks!

  I decided on an Ed Brown Vedeki style National Match trigger from Midway.  I was a little apprehensive about assembly and reassembly of the lower frame, but with the information on the web, it turned out to be OK.  I am no gunsmith, and I am actually rather proud that I did it!  The trigger was no drop in though.  It required carefull filing of the upper and lower of the trigger until it slid into the trigger channel.  A final polish of all surfaces then reassembly.  What a difference!  I see no further additions or modifications to the mil-spec. It is dependible and combat accurate and never jamed.  I don't get hammer bite, the three dot sights are adequet, it's not a target pistol, but accuracy is adequeate for it's intended purpose,  etc etc. The trigger originally was just too short.  The alumininum trigger above that I installed is pleasing to the eye, contrasting the stainless barrel bushing.  Looks great on a parkerized pistol. Springfield Armory gets two thumbs up from me.  The stainless Target model I have also is a keeper.
  So if you are apprehensive on doing something like this, just do it.  If I can do it, so can you!  ;D

I replaced my stock trigger on my Springfield Armory 1911 A1 Stainless with a couple products from SSI - Speed Shooters International.

I called them up and they helped me right away.  Cool colors and styles.   ;D
