Default Trigger Job for my Springer

A while back, I bought a Springfield Mil-Spec Government sized 1911 - specifically with the idea of using it to learn more about DIY gun smithing and tinkering. Last Christmas, Santa gave me a bunch of Ed Brown parts to start my upgrade (Beavertail GS, sear, disconnector, sear spring, trigger, hammer, hammer strut).

I finally got around to fitting the grip safety, and finished putting it all together last night. Well, almost finished, I still need to finish blending the grip safety.

I was a bit nervous tackling this, but what the heck - I'm moderately handy. Went to the range with her today, and I have to say I'm very pleased with the results. The factory trigger was mushy - now its nice and crisp with a nice short travel.

Now, I've got a hankering to checker the front strap. Is there any end to this addiction?

Lane,

Let me put it this way about doing Custom Mods to 1911 it is like the addiction of collecting them, it never ends..............
