Seeking input on 1911 drop in trigger kits

[kpp80202]

I have a Springfield Range Officer that I really like, but I'd prefer a lighter and slightly smoother trigger pull. Mind you, the trigger in this is pretty darn good as is, but I'm looking for something better. I don't want to ship my gun off for a trigger job, and am not interested in spending more than about $100-$150. I have seen Cylinder and Slide, Ed Brown, and other kits. Anyone have experience with any of the offerings out there that drop the pull to about 4#?

Party don't really "drop in" on a 1911. Yes, I know they offer drop in kits. But a kit meant to drop in on any 1911 is going to err on the side of caution when it comes to critical dimensions and geometry. In the long run you'll be happier if you spend that money on gunsmith labor instead of drop in parts.

I have a Springfield Range Officer and didn't like the factory ignition set because it had some creep. I got this set:https://shop.harrisoncustom.com/hd-120-extreme-service-ignition-set with the True Radius sear cut and it was "drop in" with my frame. I changed out the factory thumb safety with Harrison's low ride unit and fit it to the new sear. The True Radius sear is a little more forgiving of an out of spec frame than a traditional sear. I tuned the sear spring for a 3.5lb pull so I can't say how much the kit reduces the trigger pull weight on its own. It's the best feeling ignition set that I currently own, even better than my STI 2011.

Nope.
As Ray mentioned, 1911 bits & pieces don't "drop in" .
Precise sear angles must be kept for a clean and safe trigger.
Too much variance between various manufacturers for a true "drop in" .
