1911 trigger/sear tools
I am considering the purchase of the 1911 jig set from Brownells for doing trigger jobs. It comes with the files and stones, and instructions I hope. I enjoy attempting these projects, so Gunsmiths, don't get mad at me.
Has anyone used this kit? If so, what's your opinion.
Is there a better method I should consider (I know, take it to a gun smith)
Input is appreciated.

Brownell has some fine tools and I have used just about all of their sear and hammer tools set up for 1911's they do work the best ones cost the most money of course. As far as ticing off a gunsmith i can't speek for anybody else but trigger work is time consumeing and full of legal pitfalls so some would rather NOT do trigger work. Make sure not to cut the hammer hooks to less than .018 inch and anything less than 3&1/2 pounds will not meet N.R.A. bullseye spec's and 4 pounds is min weight for CMP ball matches. quote:"PRAISE THE HARDBALL GUN" 0 -
Thanks Karl.
I am currently doing this work all by hand and sight and have been within the weight limits, but I now would like to do 3-4 jobs and try to be very consistent, so it's time to invest in the proper equipment.
It's very time consuming, but it's a hobby, unlike the Gunsmiths I don't have to make a living doing it, and if I screw it up, it's on my gun and I can always walk red face to the local expert and give him a good sorry to tell to his buddies.0 -
Are you talking about the Power Custom kit, or another brand. I have the PC and like it a lot. 
If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!0 -
ContenderMan:
This was the Brownells 1911 Trigger, Sear, and Hammer Kit. It includes the sear jig, pins for mating outside the gun, files and stones. I just ordered one, so I'm going to find out how good it is.0
