Just looking for some feedback from some guys who have had work done by Rodger at Dark International. I have a Kimber Custom II that I have a new set of forged internals for, and I want to get a trigger job done on it. Rodger came recommended to me by a local dealer and just looking for some comments on how your 1911 trigger jobs by him turned out and how long the turn around time was. I live in NS so Im going to have to ship my pistol to whoever does the work and Id like to get it back in a reasonable amount of time, say one month max.
1911 Trigger job - Dark International

Ill contact him tomorrow and see what the wait times are like. Id be willing to wait a little longer so long as the end result was worth it, and from what Im hearing it would be. Being that I have to ship my pistol I want to send it to the best guy possible.
There are maybe a dozen good pistol smiths in Canada, some of whom are very specialized. If the 'smith is any good, he'll have tons of work to do and not enough hours in a day to get it done. Roger is, by every single report I've read in the last 5 years, an absolute artist and a decent and reliable guy to deal with - he has lots of work. I would say from all of the reviews that the wait is worth it. Might want to get him to fit a bushing while it's in, that will normally turn a decently accurate 1911 into a tack driver, and probably won't add much in the way of cost or time to the work.
Just a little update. I got my gun back last week, took about 6 weeks total for the turn around time which was fine. The end result is amazing, Ive only had the chance to put 400 rounds through it since I got it back (half through a .22 conversion) but I couldn't be happier. The pull turned out exactly as I wanted it with the weight I asked for and it breaks like a glass rod. Would most definitely recommend Rodgers services, and will continue to send him my future projects when needed. Thanks again to everyone that helped with the recommendation
