I tend to go with Wilson parts because they just work. I don't do MIM. I have recently gone with Ed Brown as well on an update. I see both companies as quality for the enthusiast to learn with. Ed Brown in some parts are a little more refined. No polishing or anything just a drop in of sear, disconnector, and hammer immediately before tuning dropped trigger pull by 1-1.5#. A very Clean pull. Ed Brown has my attention. I am hung up at my skill set on the Harrison Triggers. I have one now, considering which one will get the audition. For me fitting an adjustable over travel is abit of trial and error. At my current level, I can do a trigger in about 20 mins. If I have to return and adjust further, it is obviously me in the equation and not paying attention. The Harrison may not give me that latitude. I'm still learning discovering recently I need more practice and education on pre-travel adjustments. I've done two with success, on a Red Dirt trigger on a 2011 and a failure, the tab adjustment on a 1911. I've almost sworn off pre-travel adjusting on the 1911. I'll give it another go at some point. I like smooth for a trigger surface. It is amazing what sanding sticks and scotch pad can do to remove abrasion by polishing.
