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.

And then we have the aging guy(ME) who spent his youth with half frozen wet hands milking cows/delivering milk in sub zero temperaures. This is the guy who depends on alterations so he can shoot thousands of rounds in a weekend. I can shoot thousands of rounds from a 1911, but I find the lighter weight Glock more punishing on my hands. So, Brownie's theory of practice till you get it cannot work for everyone. But once the alteration(s) are complete, yup, practice till you get it.
