Default Power Trigger Kit for K/L/N/X frame

Anyone tried this yet? It says EDM and CNC macined from a solid billet of tool steel, 2.25~2.5lb Single action pull. Sounds very good though.

EDM and CnC machining are simply methods that allow economical manufacture of small production lots, it does NOT guarantee higher quality unless the process has been set up with care and done properly. Basically, like any small lot production method the Devil is in the Details.

Personally, I would pass on this trigger. With a stock rebound spring getting the SA break down this low requires the sear on the trigger be shaped to an "assist" angle, which means that it will wear the tip of the sear on the hammer. In time that will lead to Push Off and require replacing the hammer. Take a Factory trigger and hammer an install a 14 lbs. rebound spring and you'll have a single action break in the area of 3 lbs. even, a trigger I find very easy to shoot well with.

I'm wondering what your point is since the kit includes a 12 lb rebound spring. Or maybe the point is that you didn't even look to see what the kit contained before deciding "I would pass on this trigger"?

Agree with Scooter123, install a 14 lb return spring and a little cleaning up with a stone, and forget it. Nothing wrong with a factory trigger.
