I've never changed or altered the standard 5.5 trigger on any of my
s. They'll drill one small ragged hole at 5 yrds if the shooter does his part. I shoot 4-5 rds a second with stock
5.5 triggers. Splits run .16-.18 normally with the occasional .15 or .19 split.
I see NO need to work on a factory
trigger. I do see a need to shoot the snot of it and learn the trigger. I'm not sure I'd spend money on a "trigger job" to gain very little where splits or rds per second is concerned.
I've got over 120K rds through the g17 1st gen.
Keep in mind, the above after carrying [ professionally on the streets ] 1911's over 28 years full time, sometimes two. Hand me a 1911, I shoot it well, hand me a
, I shoot it just as well.
It did take me 1K rds through the
to reach the same level of proficiency with the g17, so the advice I give is, go shoot the snot of out it and marry the trigger finger to the
as you have the 1911s.
