There are a lot of posting about doing trigger jobs for 1911s. How do you actually do it? I am really new to this. Is it just simply buying the part and replacing it? If that is the case, what parts should I buy.
 
If you're going to work on your 1911, you will want to get the Kuhnhausen manuals.

If you are new at this, don't start with trigger jobs,
that is what the smiths are for.

I don't think "trigger jobs" are as necessary, say to something like, a polish job. Instead of starting to buy parts and simply to replace etc, personally I'd spend the time with some fine grit sandpaper or metal polish and work on all the metal-to-metal contact surface areas, until the innards are smooth and shiney. That usually takes care of any "trigger" issues. There are the adjustable triggers for the 1911, but if you just polish the original, and shoot the hell out of it, that'd be fine for a while. I usually take some polishing compound, and apply it to all my metal-to-metal contact areas, while at the range, and shoot some 100 rounds through it. Then give it a good cleaning and then light lube with the clp and GTG. Self-polishing. hehe.

+1.

the last thing you want is hammer follow due to a botched trigger job. leave it to someone who knows what they are doing. (Eg. not me.. ;) )

Yup. If you don't understand how to do it it's best to just not mess with it. Find a smith to work on it for you. An improperly fitted fire control system can make a firearm quite unsafe, and it is a bit of a black art do a trigger on a 19/2011 properly.

Safety first.
