Yes, several companies do.....but many times you need to fit a new thumb safety unless the new sear profile matches your old sear profile.

And....it depends on how low you want to go in terms of pull weight.

Watcha wanna do?

It's a carry gun no less than a four lb. trigger.

You can typically get that with a stock group and tweaking the sear spring.

4lbs is easy.

What model? I'm in New Castle, I can walk you through it on the phone or show you how.

The reason i,m asking is it's a sti guardian and i've been hearing that the MIM process they use isn't the best. I don't want it to fail when I need it the most.

MIM varies. Kimber had some early MIM problems, but I never heard of STI having them. My STI has nearly 40,000 rounds down the pipe and I know of several with a LOT more. I have never heard of a trigger group like that letting go in STI......are you sure the hammer and sear is even MIM?

No I'm not sure which parts are MIM. But on sti's web site they do say that some MIM parts are used.

Yeah, typically the grip safety and thumb safety as well as the slide release and other low pressure parts. I pulled my trigger group out and it doesn't appear to be MIM, but it's hard to tell. A LOT of 1911 companies use MIM without issue as some are better than others.

If I wanted to replace a group I'd use a Brazos Custom kit, but you can be assured you're going to have to change the thumb safety (not that hard, but ads to the cost).

Personally, I'd shoot the hell out of it and bet good money it would never fail you.
