Got one. Great guy to deal with. I called them to specify which caliber because I forgot to mention it on the order. He said they are coming out with an extended slide release next month.

Thanks for the heads up, just picked one up for my .45. Now anyone know how to install these things???

Got my trigger kit in today. The kit brought the pull weight down to 4 lbs 1 oz from 5 lbs 11oz and reduced the take up some as well.

Only took about 5 minutes to install.

overall, how pleased are you with it? Think I am going to attempt to put it in tonight after dinner.

Damn, (after several brain farts) took me over half an hour!

Big difference! Has helped get me out of the infamous low & left quadrant.

I think it was worth the $. Definately better trigger pull. I'm going to try and pick up a Powder River safety lever Kit to go with it. That should reduce the rest of the slop in the trigger.

Any word of a aftermarket trigger bar that will work with the new Sear?

 

[mch28]

I think I'll stick with the factory trigger bar and put in the safety lever and set screw. That should take care of the rest of the pretravel and the set screw should clear up the over travel. I think you can handle it either way. I think the trigger bar has adjustments to fix these 2 issues also. Depends on how you want to do it.

Here's the aftermarket trigger bar

Custom sears are causing light primer strikes

I was reading XDtalk and it seems that the sear kits are causing light primer strikes. There is an easy solution which is to file a little bit from the engagement area on the sear. I compounded my problem by adding the new safety lever with it. I fitted everything in last night and everything seemed fine. I went up to the range today and had a couple light hits in the first 6 rounds. I took out the safety lever and removed some material (you can take it off the sear or safety lever). After that small adjustment I fired off 94 more rounds without any problems. Read the article on very-light-primer-strikes.

Seems like a lot of people are having the issue mostly on the .45's.
