Trigger Job, Action Job or Reliability Job?

Which one is right for me?

Trigger jobs, reliability jobs and action jobs differ in many ways:

A TRIGGER JOB involves stoning the proper angles on the sear and hammer, lowering the hammer hooks and changing out the mainspring to achieve a smoother trigger pull.

A RELIABILITY JOB takes things to the next level. In addition to the procedures listed above, a Reliability Job includes lowering the ejection port (if needed and for an extra charge), retuning the firing pin and extractor, polishing of the feed ramp (changing the angle and opening up the chamber throat if necessary to shoot hollow-point ammunition), deburring of the firing pin hole, polishing of the breech and replacing of the guide rod with a one-piece rod (if available).

An ACTION JOB involves all moving parts of the gun, de-burring the frame and parts, removing tool marks and then polishing all the parts. This includes the firing pin, hammer strut, trigger and trigger bar, disconnector, pins, hammer sides, and sear sides. All of these parts need a lower friction coefficient for a smoother and lighter feeling trigger pull and to ensure that nothing is hindering or taking away the full force of the actual strike of the firing pin against the chambered round.
