Great vid. Can you do another vid of the complete re-assembly of the gun? My uncle has a bag of parts that supposedly makes a complete 1911, but I don't know how to build one from scratch. I own a Smith and Wesson SW1911, but have never taken it all the way apart. Thank you!!
@wushu988 While the sear spring adjustment that I mention in the video will adjust the trigger pull, you also have to remember the sear prep plays a huge part in trigger pull. You need to get the primary angle set, and then break the edge enough that you can get a smooth pull.
@PAGunGuy The 3.5# rule is just a rule of thumb, it's a better ideal for people that won't replace their sear spring as often as they should. For someone who doesn't maintain their gun (neglects it) 3.5# is a safe figure to prevent any full auto situations as the springs fatigue. For those that know I'd say sure mess around with less than 3.5#, my STI breaks at less than 3.5#
Most of them will, however I would call Wilson and talk to them about the parts you want, they will be able to tell you right away what will and won't work.
@kaos3124 Yeah its not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Anyone wanting to try this that doesn't understand one of the steps, please ask questions first, I'll be more than happy to make another video further explaining a step or process.

I'm glad to see this vid. I'm working on my Kimber Eclipse Pro now.

Great vid! Can I send my Kimber to you for a trigger job?
For a trigger job, will most gunsmith do the same job as you described? Or do they just lighten the sear spring and charge the full price?

what did you use to polish the slide and frame? It looks great.

Good video. But the whole don't go below 3.5# is just flat out wrong. My 1911s are 2011 all break just over 2# with absolutely no issues.

@PAGunGuy Not to mention most people don't need a sub 3.5# trigger pull

Will these Brownell/Wilson Combat parts work for a Govt. 1911 Firestorm 2004 build?
