Baer will work with you on most aspects of your order, and let you tailor your new pistol exactly to you. On my recently purchased Concept VII, I opted for the arched mainspring housing and a single-side safety. The MSH was an extra $60, but the safety was a no-cost option.

All my 1911s have short triggers, incuding my Baer Stinger (which came with a long trigger.)

Long triggers fit fewer people than the manufacturers suppose, even though they're "fashionable" on 1911s.

Short triggers work fine for more folks than long triggers do, IME.

Agreed. A few of my 1911s still have long triggers but only because I'm too slothful to change them out. Their time will come in due course.

I am 6ft1 and about 180lbs, but my hands are small for a guys. All of the gun shops around here carry Kimbers or Springfields and they all have long triggers. I have a SA TRP that carries the factory trigger and seems to be ok, but without something to compare it to, how can I be so sure? Hope to order a Concept VII soon so I might have them put on a short trigger instead. If I don't like it I can always swap it out.

In my case I go by where the my finger naturally falls on the trigger. If contact is with the middle of the pad of my finger the length is OK. If more towards the tip - it is too long.
