I just got done doing some work on a project Springfield 1911 GI pistol. I installed a "drop in" action kit from a reputable vendor. The workmanship looked top notch and used quality bar stock components for the hammer, sear, and disconnector. The kit also included a mated sear spring and mainspring. The trouble is my trigger pull isn't much better than with the factory Springfield parts. It may even be a touch harder, but with less creep.
During the kit install I also installed an original GI small shelf safety, checkered GI trigger, and checkered mainspring housing. The trigger does have a fair amount of play, both up and down and side to side. I'm not sure if that would have any affect on the trigger pull? Basically, I'm looking for ideas on what other things I should be looking at as the culprit besides what I've mentioned. Thanks.
