Description
If you've ever wanted that buttery, predictable trigger your favorite competition shooters rave about but didn't want to send your gun off to a smith, this is the shortcut. The Nowlin Speed Demon II Action Kit gives your 1911 a professional 3 lb trigger pull without the trial, error, and ruined parts that usually come with doing a trigger job yourself. Everything in the kit is hand-fitted, precision-adjusted, and tested for proper fit and function before it ships.
The star of the show is the Speed Demon II hammer. It's a lightened, chamfered design cut from solid tool steel that drops your lock time, which means faster, more controllable follow-up shots. It runs alongside a low-mass sear and a fully-machined match disconnector, both pre-ground and pre-polished so the engagement surfaces are ready to go with no stoning required. Toss in the matched hammer spring and sear spring and you've got a complete fire-control package designed to break clean and reset short.
What makes this kit worth it is the consistency. A lighter, crisper pull does more than feel nice. It promotes better trigger control and tighter groups because you're not fighting a heavy, gritty break every time you press. The hammer is wire EDM-cut and CNC machined to hold up for the long haul, rated for around half a million cycles, so this isn't a part you'll be babying.
Installation drops into most 1911 Autos with little or no fitting, and it works with both Series 70 and Series 80 platforms. That said, every gun is a little different. Some shooters find they need a touch of fitting on the thumb safety or grip safety depending on the host frame, so a basic understanding of how the 1911 fire-control group goes together goes a long way. If you're comfortable detail-stripping your pistol, you can knock this out at the bench in an afternoon.
This kit is built for serious range shooters, competitors, and anyone who wants their 1911 to feel like a custom build. It's made in the USA and includes the hammer, sear, disconnector, hammer spring, and sear spring. Everything you need for the trigger job is in the box.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the Speed Demon II Action Kit?
The kit comes with the Speed Demon II hammer, a low-mass sear, a fully-machined match disconnector, a hammer spring, and a sear spring. That's the complete fire-control group you need to do the trigger job. Everything arrives pre-ground and pre-polished, so the engagement surfaces are already prepped.
Does this really drop in without gunsmithing?
For most 1911 Autos, yes. The parts are hand-fitted and pre-adjusted so they install with little or no fitting required. That said, some host guns may need minor tuning on the thumb safety or grip safety, so being comfortable detail-stripping your pistol helps.
Will this fit my 1911?
It's designed to fit most 1911 Auto pistols and works with both Series 70 and Series 80 frames. Each kit is tested on a Series 70 frame for proper fit and function before shipping. As always with 1911s, fit can vary slightly between manufacturers, so verify your pistol is a standard 1911 pattern.
What kind of trigger pull will I end up with?
This kit is built to deliver a professional 3 lb pull that breaks clean and crisp with a short reset. The lighter, more consistent pull helps with trigger control and tighter groups at the range. Actual weight can vary a bit depending on your specific pistol and how the parts mate up.
Is this kit good for competition shooting?
Absolutely, that's exactly what it's built for. The lightened Speed Demon II hammer speeds up lock time for faster follow-up shots, and the wire EDM-cut, CNC machined construction is rated for around half a million cycles. It's a solid choice for race guns and serious range work alike.
