I have been on google and U-tube watching people do trigger mods to their 1911"s..wow..way to many idea's and different approaches..100"s of them. In a NUT SHELL, what is the most simple way to do this that has actually worked for you..and what After Market parts did you use,..or did you modify the existing parts. ?? Point me to a Link that's worked for you. Thanks, kinda overwhelmed here.

No aftermarket parts are required. Down and dirty trigger job for a 1911 consists of polishing the mating sear/hammer/trigger parts and clipping off a 1/4 turn on the mainspring. You can just change the hammer spring as well. Wolff Springs has 'em and you can order direct.

You really should put on a high visibilty set of sights too. Assuming your pistol doesn't have that already.

For the most part sunray is correct.
If you want zero creep and lighter pulls stoning the sear to correct angles and dimensions is required.
Then the hammer hooks need to be squared and dimensions corrected also to mate properly to the sear.
After this the 3 prong spring can be bent slightly to reduce some trigger weight.
I've managed to attain 3 - 3.5lbs pulls crisp with stock parts, but I'm not really sure the sear and hammer are the best quality to last the lifetime of the gun.
All the pros normally change out all the trigger parts for top quality ones, so I'm no expert on Norc parts and I don't know if I'll live long enough to find out.

There are some things that can be done to "enhance" a 1911 but dicking around with the hammer/sear/disconnector/sear spring/mainspring is something best left to someone WITH EXPERIENCE who KNOWS what they're doing!!! The consequences of making a mistake is a full auto .45 - not something to mess around with. In my opinion too many of the "instructional videos" on line show just enough to get a shooter in BIG TROUBLE by "neglecting" to cover some VERY CRITICAL ISSUES!!!!

Agreed superted.
Youtube vids are fun to watch, but don't cover all the details for overtravel and safety parts fitted properly.
The main reason why I don't point to "How to" links.
