Blindfolded, most couldn't tell the difference
Surely you jest. I could line up my Norinco, Series 80 Colt, Series 70 Colt and Kimber TLE II (all full size 1911s) and if you couldn't rank order the triggers same as I've listed from worst to best you must be wearing gloves or should see a neurologist about your lack of a sense of touch.
Would any of these triggers make a difference at a car length or less under high stress? I'd doubt it, some might even say the TLE II trigger is "too light" for a defense gun.
When someone claims perfection, expect naysayers.
I shoot the Kimbers by far the best, if some one want's to loan me a Ransom Rest we could find out how much of the difference is the trigger and my eyes/hands vs. how much is the guns
Trigger, safeties, sights, finish, caliber, size, weight, etc. these are all factors that make one gun better than another to me. We could simply agree to say "buy what you like" and be done with it, but then these forums would be rather boring
Whe they leave our shop ya cant tell the diff btw a series 70 and series 80 trigger...
I'd have to feel it to believe it, but with customized triggers its likely more the skill of the smith than the maker of the gun that matters -- I bet you could make my Norinco as good too -- not the Norinco trigger is terrible, actually its pretty impressive for the price.
