I have a 9mm springer 1911 target model that is going back to Springfield to correct some accuracy issues. I use the gun for bullseye type shooting at 25 and 50 yards.
This gun also desperately needs some trigger work and I was thinking about just having Springfield's custom shop do that as long as it's going to be back there anyway.
They offer a "Match Trigger for $50. Don't know that I've ever shot a gun with a "match trigger" so I'm not sure what to expect. I have to choose "speed", "long match", or "short match". What do these mean and is one more appropriate for bullseye than another or is it just personal preference?
Thanks

Why not ask Springfield??????????????
Long/short match refers to long or short trigger. Look at pictures of a 1911 and a 1911A1 to see the difference. Roughly 1/4 inch in the reach to the trigger. People with short fingers/small hands generally like short triggers.
$50 these days is a decent price for a good trigger job.

That may only refer to a trigger installation and not a trigger job.

I agree with Joni Lynn. I will bet that it's just the installation of the trigger and not a whole 'trigger job'.
They simply did a 'trigger job' on my new XDm and it was about $125 and there were no any new parts.

If you want to really "trick out" your Springfield, put THESE parts in:
Modular trigger, allowing you to select the length, shape and color of your trigger, w/a ball bearing on the back of the trigger bow;
Sear/trigger/disconnector spring with another ball bearing; and
Lightened hammer (your choice of metal and shapes).

I put them in my SA "loaded" and was quite happy. Just be sure to order the SINGLE-stack trigger unit.

+1 A call will answer your question and will let you discuss what you want with the people who will do the work! They might have some other suggestions since you are into bullseye shooting.

Keep in mind the NRA match limitations on trigger pull minimums.

I'm willing to bet the $50 is for trigger and installation only, not a full trigger job.
Usually a trigger designated as "match" would simply mean it has on overtravel adjustment screw and may be fitted to eliminate much of the take-up. Your choice of trigger length depends entirely on your hand size and grip style. Short and long speak for themselves, a "Speed" trigger is nearly the same length as the long.
The modular trigger might be a good choice if you are unsure.
Short trigger
Long or Speed trigger

I have a SVI 1911, single stack with all of the trigger modifications mentioned by “amici’ I have other custom 1911s including a S&W 1911PC. The SVI has the best trigger by a considerable degree. Not the lowest trigger pull, but the best all around. If your springer trigger can be turned into a similar one, you will never be sorry.
The modular feature permits you to change shape as will as length; I really like the long flat trigger for example.
