Amazing upgrade
I just put this on my Jericho R (slide safety/decocker) and it fit easily. It looks great but the performance difference took me by surprise. I also added the tangfo extreme trigger bar and guide so I'm not sure exactly which part contributed the most. But the trigger is amazing after the upgrades. The double action is fast, very fast. All the pull weight is at the front of the pull and then it decreases to the break. It is so fast it feels like the hammer is short stroking. The single action is also incredible. It still has a little takeup, but that doesn't matter for follow up shots, but then it has a single wall and an extremely light and crisp break. Side by side with a Kimber 1911, the weight, length of pull, and reset are very close. 10/10 recommend to upgrade your Jericho.
