Just placed the order for a colt government model 5inch stainless 1911. I already own a kimber custom 2 and I fell in love with the 1911 design and thought it was time to get another and thought I might aswell have a colt in the collection so I picked her up for $680. I hear this and that about the trigger pull/safety..ect..ect and the gun wont be in till the end of next week so I cannot tell for myself how the trigger pull is but what is a good replacement spring or trigger assembly for the colt? Thanks |
Agreed, Colt no longer uses the plastic trigger that everyone but ME hated ( send me your Nylon triggers!!! ) they have switched to a NICE aluminum trigger with no goofy overtravel screw...they factory pull is a very nice five to five and half pounds. ( at least on mine ) Enjoy the new Pony.... and, yes, we expect pics! |

All the advice is greatly appreciate my friends! Here is a snap shot of it on there website  1991A1, so all in all do you think that is a decent price for the quality and name. My kimber has convereted me over to the 1911 side  I love them to death now...I will most def post some pics, I actually have pictures of my rifles and other guns that I have taken on my camera phone but the quality is garbage and I need to buy a digit but dont know what the best bang for the buck is.  Those stock garbage sights had to go, since then I put on some truglo tfo's

I have not felt the need to change the trigger or do any work to the last 5 new Colts I have bought. All came with good triggers right out of the box. Only the Defender came with the nylon trigger and truth be told I can't tell the damn difference. That one IS a bit heavier in pull weight but nice and crisp and it is a CCW weapon so I consider that to be fine. Go from a new Colt to a USGI and it's enough to make you wonder if there is a problem with the gun. |
