I finally entered the world of 1911's. I bought a Remington R11, The only complaint that I have it s the aluminum trigger, I was wanting to get a trigger that was black like the rest of the gun. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You could have someone do an anodized finish on your trigger.
Thank you for the reply, How much it cost to get the trigger anodized? Would a gunsmith be able to o that?
I can't price work I don't do and I'm not a gunsmith. All gunsmiths do not offer the same services and finishes. You'll have to ask around.
Replacement triggers in silver or black/blue are quite easy to come by - Brownell's, Wilson Combat, Ed Brown, Ebay, etc. Make sure you get a "standard replacement" trigger, rather than a "fitted" trigger - which would be oversize for a gunsmith to fit preciesely. Unnecessary unless you want to do a Custom.
I would start with Brownell's website. CC
...or you can simply Google "anodizing" or open the phone book and see who does anodizing in your area. :)
you'll be way ahead to just replace it but you could be in over your head with fitting and such, I don't know what skills and talents you have. It's not hard but I ruined two before I got it "right"; not sloppy with the shoe fit to the frame. Me being the cheap skate that I am, I'd just pull it out and paint it and see how that goes.
1911 AUTO EXTREME SERVICE TRIGGER - Brownells
Better yet, just leave it alone. You know this one fits correctly.
I guess I could wire wheel it down to bare metal and polish the steel so it looks the same as the trigger......
Thank you for the help, I hadn't thought about brownells. Have a good day and thanks again.
I like the wire wheel idea. Be sure and send pictures.
So Ham what do you think about your R11. I just picked one up several month ago . Its my first 1911 also and I like it alot. I haven't had any problems yet and it's hitting were I'm aiming!!!!!
So I'm Happy.
