1911 triangular holed trigger, where do I find one?

[folkenheath]

Does anyone know where I can buy a new 1911 trigger that looks like this one?

It appears to be a Chip McCormick design, but they do not make it anymore and I can't find anyone that does.

I am aware of the work involved and have the Kuhnhausen shop manual.

Thank you.

There are many 1911 shooters here who may offer an answer but if you don't hear what you need, I'd try here:

It looks very simular to the trigger on the new Ruger SR1911

Thanks, I don't have a membership there, so I was hoping I'd find the answer here. But I'll keep that in mind.

Nice find, it looks good, and has a good price, but it's plastic, I forgot to mention I want an aluminum one. It did give me another name ("K") to search for though, thanks again.

I noticed the same thing, I thought as hard as it is to get an SR1911 right now, that I wouldnt be able to get the parts either, if ruger will even sell one without sending the gun in? (I have a Colt not a Ruger) They are funny with trigger parts sometimes. Plus I was hoping I could find an oversize one so I can fit it to my frame, but if I all I could find was the stock size I would probbaly get it.

Looks like the same trigger on my S&W 1911 (#108284 "Target model).

That one looks pretty good, I wrote them an e-mail to ask the width. The bow is pretty thin but I suppose that won't effect the function as long as it fits the frame correctly.

Thats a nice 1911 you have there, it looks good. How wide is that trigger? Is it the factory S&W one?

The reason I asked is because I just realized my trigger is not normal, it's a "wide" trigger and frame slot in the Gold Cup.

I may have to just leave it as is. I figured if I fit a new trigger though I could always swap the factory one back in no problem if needed later. I wrote para and asked them how wide that mccormick trigger is too.

Depending on what I find out, if those won't work, I'll either keep looking or just leave it as is.

You guys are being very helpful, I couldn't find anything at all that was current.

That may be your issue. Gold Cup triggers are about 1/2 again as wide as a standard trigger, and the last time I checked there wasn't enough demand for an aftermarket adj. trigger to warrant most of the companies to tool up for them. Wilson may make one but you may have to settle with an aluminum version of what you already have.

Thanks. It is the factory trigger in my S&W 1911. If you want I can measure it tonight for the width.

Have you looked at Midway or Brownell's? Both carry lots of aftermarket parts.

That would be great if you could check, but don't go to to much trouble, because I think it's unlikely it will be wide enough.

The more I look, the more it is looking that way.

Yes sir, those were the first places I looked, along with Colt, Les Baer, Wilson Combat, Chip McCormick, Cylinder and Slide, Kimber, Power Custom, S&A, and others I forgot.

Folkenheath sorry it took me awhile to get this for you, but I measured the width of the trigger on my S&W 1911 tonight, as close as I could get is .265".

SVI, Wilson a lot of places---Brownells--STI.

So what if all you can find is a plastic trigger?
A three sided drill bit and some silver paint and away you go

Or just get a TRIK TRIGGER from Brownells...

Be VERY vigilant your first trip to the range after doing ANY trigger work. First only load one round into the magazine and keep a good grip and (of course) maintain muzzle control when dropping the slide the first time
Then load 2 and try it again.....

Thanks novalty, that confirms it is narrower than my gold cup trigger by quite a bit, which would leave a large gap in the frame. So unfortunately that one won't work. Thanks for checking this.

A 3 sided drill bit, ha ha, thats a good one.

After looking everywhere I could think of, and the other places mentioned I am going to just keep the factory aluminum gold cup trigger. The wide frame opening eliminates most of the triggers out there, and what's left isn't what I am looking for.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

DeadAye speaks true, and you can guess how I know this.

I have a Gold Cup, and I've always liked the 'wide' trigger, compared to what is standard.

I never felt any urge to replace it, but I have to admit the S&W 1911 DOES look nice with it's cut out trigger.
