My Choice

I looked at a lot of TRIGGER PULL KITS and I went with the C&S Tactical. I thought the quality was real good.

My gun ( SA 1911A1) has a nice crisp let off....no creep.
I don't think you'll be sorry with either choice. IMHO!!

 

I installed the Tactical Kit in my Caspian Frame & Slide 1911 that I built at Cylinder & Slides pistolsmithing class. Without doing any stoning to the hammer & sear, the trigger has a let off at 4.250 lbs. I put a Super Match kit in my Custom Eclipse II and it lets off at 3.5 lbs. What was funny, I installed a Tactical kit in my Pro Carry and it's trigger let off is at 4.250 lbs. also.
IMHO, Cylinder & Slide makes some of the finest trigger kits on the market today.

 

C&S makes excellent quality parts. Even if you aren't quite satisfied with the drop in trigger pull, you still have some great parts to work with.

 

Thanks guys. One less decision to make.....

Yup, very nice parts, and from really decent folks! I especially like their earlier Tactical I hammer, with it's chamfered edges. The hammers and sears are all Rockwell-tested before they leave the shop, and come with a cert. card showing their hardness test results.

 

Just put the Ultralight kit in my SA .38 Super and I'm quite happy with the fit, finish, and quality of the parts.

 

More Info.

If you want alittle more info. there was a nice write up in Combat handguns - Feb. issue on Bill and his C&S business.

 

Are all of C & S 's trigger pull kits made from tooled steel (bar stock)? I'm not trying to start the old MIM/cast debate, just curious.

 

Shane:
All C&S kit hammers and sears are EDM cut from bar stock. Tactical and Tac II are tool steel, and Rc test at 50-53. Perfect, IMO.

 

I put a Tactical II 4# trigger kit in my steel Kimber Compact Series I earlier this year. I think the quality is excellent and recommend Cylinder & Slide's parts without reservation.

C&S has a bad extractor I believe...But he's famous for his trigger jobs. ---I'm trying to decide myself between one of his kits, or the Ed Brown hammer/sear

 

HOUNDDOG,
If you have any problem with anything that Bill sells, just pick up the phone and call him. He is more than willing to talk to you about his products. I have all C&S extractors in all of my 1911's and NEVER have a problem with extraction. (Bill himself did teach me the proper way to tune the extractor BTW.)
