I agree with BM that yo ubetter know your stuff for a light trigger.

But...once you do, they are a nice advantage for a range gun (I'm done at 3lbs with my carry gun). I've shot several 1.5lb 1911's that were perfectly safe, but you are gong to pay a pro to do that job....usually $200+. My hunting rifle wears a 16 ounce trigger....but it's a Jewell and drop safe at that weight.

So.....I won't be hypocritical and say it's a bad idea, but having thousands of rounds through the gun and working down slowly is best.

i'm not looking for a 1.5lbs trigger or anything like that, but i'd like to have a crisp 3lbs or so.. i've shot a 1.5lbs it was def to light for comfort but the 2.5-3lbs i've shot where perfect IMO

I'm really starting to like Para's stuff! I have my eye on a stainless Warthog at the moment!

Anyway...nice purchase! Congrats!!

So drop in a Brazos Custom Pro trigger group and be done with it.

and any tips when it comes to choosing the front sight as far as size goes? not to sure on if getting the wrong height will mess me up or if the adjustable rear sight can compensate for all sizes

For my P16 I bought the Tuned Trigger Group, BCG - Pro Series from Brazos Custom Gun Store online. Works great!
