I'm going to suggest one of two routes:

1. The drop-in parts that others have suggested.

2. If you really want to stone hammers and sears and get it right the first time, you're going to be into the tooling to the tune of several hundred bucks. You'll need some India stones, and ceramic or ruby stones to finish the polish. To get the angles right without experience, I'd highly recommend getting a trigger/sear fixture like the Ron Powers' setup, which you can find in Brownells. By the time you've bought the stones gunsmiths use to clean up triggers and the fixture to maintain your angles, you're into this project for $250 to $300.

Suddenly the drop in parts are sounding pretty good, right?

There is, of course, a third route: take it to a gunsmith who is competent in 1911's.
