Cylinder & Slide Trigger Kit

[EchoBravoKilo]

Does anyone here have any experience with the Cylinder & Slide True Drop In Trigger Pull kits? Specifically, I'm looking at the "CS375 - S70 1911 Classic Commander Hammer:" https://shop.cylinder-slide.com/ccp51/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl?usr=51F545349&rnd=9179992&rrc=N&affl=&cip=68.4.57.155&act=&aff=&pg=prod&ref=CS375&cat=1911DI&catstr=HOME:6:43:1911DI.

I was wondering if: a) they indeed drop in (or pretty much so); b) provide crisp trigger pull and c) are worth the $$$.

The description for this one doesn't show pull weight, but I'll send C&S an e-mail.

Thanks for any comments.

The only logical answer to this question is that there are no drop-in parts for a 1911.

With that said, C&S products are top notch, but there are so many parameters that can affect the drop-in question, that no one can say if their kits will go in your pistol and work 100% or if they'll require some modification. Tolerances can play havoc with you.

But, you have more chances that these will work with you, than with assembling the different parts from other sources.

I've installed two sets of these into two different STI 2011 setups. The first one was a drop-in and I'm very happy with it. The other one ended up with a little bit of trigger creep that I need to resolve. All of the components appear to be top-notch and are finished very well complete with polishing. I like the hammers the best since they are chamfered and just feel nice on my thumb which comes in handy with dry-firing over time.

I would recommend a set of the hammer/sear test pins that allow you to mount the hammer and sear on the outside of the gun and use a loupe to check the engagement. If that looks good and the pin holes are parallel in the frame, you may end up fine.

I'm one for two so far....

You can also check for parallel engagement by painting the sear nose and checking for wear.

yep +1 on the trigger adjustment pins. They fit in the sear/hammer pin holes on the outside of the frame, and allow you to visually see the sear/hammer engagement.
