![]() ![]() If your trigger doesn't have either of these (it probably does) you cannot adjust the current trigger you have. Only Smith & Wesson, Sig and Ruger make more total handguns, and not many of those are 1911s.Īdjusting the pre-travel/over-travel of your tigger is a function of the trigger bow and over-travel set screw. That’s more than the rest of the entire 1911 world put together. Over 200,000 Kimber pistols are built and sold every year. I think they make a great gun for the money. Kimber gets a really bad rap on this site. Dropping a bunch of money into it until it equals the price of a DW defeats your purpose of saving money. ![]() Yes, my DW is “nicer” than my Kimber and has a “better” trigger. This will run you from $200 to $400 depending on who does it. Many here will tell you that you need to buy ignition components and have them installed. If you don’t want to do it yourself find a gunsmith who knows how to work on 1911s. Don’t count on any 1911 parts being “drop in”. Just make sure you safety check it after these mods. If you’re handy you can watch some vids and adjust the pretravel, overtravel and the sear spring yourself. ![]() I adjusted the sear spring and got it a bit lower. The Kimber trigger was heavy with a little creep. I have a DW Pointman 9 as well as a new Kimber KHX OR 9mm. That being said, would you suggest buying a "drop in" trigger and hoping it doesnt need to be fitted, or taking it in for a trigger job (or both)? Or is there maybe some sort of "poor man's" trigger job or something I might be able to do myself? I've done minor work on my other guns and triggers but never a 1911.Ĭongrats on your new shooter. I'm not incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to 1911s and, while I definately want to progress and learn, I dont want to get too deep and make a dangerous and/or expensive mistake. I would like it to be a little lighter (it's not a carry gun - range only) and I would like a little less pretravel. But I was wondering if anyone had some advice about the trigger. ![]() Maybe one day I will be able to afford a valor or discretion, but for now it's the kimber aegis elite custom. So, contrary to my previous decision that some of you may have contributed to, I decided to buy a kimber instead of a Dan Weston due to financial restrictions. ![]()
