So, real quick, what kind of trigger jobs are there and what is done to your firearm?
First we have the drop in kits, and there are a few company's making them for different firearms (apex, ghost inc, brown). What these types typically do is bring your trigger pull down to around 5.5 pounds (in the great state of Massachusetts this is a lot better then our minimum 10 pound pull of death). This is done by changing some springs. And on the semi-autos, the sear and plunger. So all your doing is essentially punching a few pins and replacing some springs.

Now we have come to the polishing trigger job.
Yes, there are some springs replaced, but there is some polishing that we do as well. The big reason for the polishing is getting the machining marks off of all the action parts (hammer, sear, trigger, etc). By getting rid of the machining marks you'll have a crisper trigger. It also won't be a gritty and nasty pull. This type of job is really big in the single action, semi-auto type firearms such as the all american 1911. Where as the drop ins tend to be more striker fired like the Smith and Wesson M&Ps.

Okay, now with that out of the way what's that trigger job doing for you?
Well with that lighter trigger pull your going to gain accuracy. This is because less poundage is needed in pulling the trigger. This gives you less time to flinch as even to think about it will make your gun flinch. Everyone does it, I don't care how long you've been shooting, it happens. Of course, unless your Jerry Miculek, then your a god! And with that, then less time practicing accuracy will hopefully save you money in the ammo department.
Thanks guys for reading my post guys let us know what you think. If you are thinking about getting a trigger job, then let me know. We can work out the best job for you, and what you are wanting to get out of your range time. Or that Competition Gun that you're wanting to trick out!
