Hammer & Sear Recommendations

1911luvr · 10-18-2004, 10:11 AM

I have a Kimber Stainless Gold Match and want to upgrade the trigger a little. I've already dome a trigger job it and seemed to help but still have a slight amount of creep. I've shot a few thousand rounds through it now, and am thinking it's time to replace the hammer and sear. With all the manufacturers of these components, what is a recommended replacement? Is there a clear winner for quality and durability?

I like Cylinder and Slide's hammers and sears.

Just got a new set from Dane . . . BCP ignition parts. Goin' into my personal STI 2011 pistol. I believe Dane's are the best. They are the most expensive out there. . . but like the man said, "Darn well worth it."

Thanks

Hate to not stir the economic engine... but good quality parts will last tens of thousands of rounds... I bet you can clean up the trigger with your existing stuff if it was high quality. I like cylinder and slide stuff myself if you decide to replace your internals.

Cylinder and Slide gets a vote from me.
