So I'd like to build a competition specific gun sometime within the next year. I'm wanting to build a 9mm 1911. I'm thinking if I buy one of the lower end ones since I plan on replacing the barrel, trigger, bushing, sights anyway that it might be a cheaper route (RIA for example). Of course I also thought about going with one of the springfields that cost a little more but already come with the target sights which I've noticed are quite expensive themselves.
My big question though is trigger. I'd like it to be around a 2.5lb pull. My neighbor just picked up an XDM with the 2.5lb competition trigger and its just lovely. I was in love with my sig trigger but that thing is just so perfect. So what makes a trigger that soft? Is it the trigger spring? hammer spring? sear? Can you make a 1911 to have a trigger that soft?
I'd love to get the trigger on my .22 AR15 that soft as well
