I just got a pre series II kimber custom classic. I don't like the serrated trigger.

What is a good non serrated trigger to purchase? brands? companies?

Thanks!

EGW makes a nifty one that I don't think is serrated. You can get a solid, three-hole, or a neato E cutout in it.

Ed Brown has one with fine serrations that you might like. Nowlin has a lightweight model that looks pretty neat, but I don't know if it's serrated.

All three companies are highly regarded. You can't go wrong with them.

Unless you want to preserve the original trigger for some future collector value, I'd just take it out and remove the serrations from it. It's already been fit to your gun.

I'd just take it out and remove the serrations from it I don't think you can do that with this particular model. Unless I'm mistaken, it's an anodized aluminum part. Grinding on it would remove the anodized layer and allow it to corrode.

I replaced the trigger on my SW1911 with a Ball Bearing trigger from www.ccactions.com

Carlos polished off the front serations for me at no extra charge.

Cylinder & Slide makes one, I saw it on their website a couple of days ago.

If you sand and buff out the serrations in aluminum, you will be fine, it will not oxidize like rust. It oxidizes almost immediately and seals the rest of the part from harm leaving a shiny part for it's lifetime since it won't be subject to much weather a gun, your stell parts will be a problem first.

It will be shiny aluminum color if your trigger is anodized any other color than just the oxidation itself.

Think Alumaweld jet boats for example. There is no finish on those style of boats besides the label in most cases.

Hope this helps,
