Cylinder & Slide Model Cs285 No-Bite Blue

The Cylinder & Slide Model CS285 No-Bite Blue is a four-piece target trigger set engineered for shooters who want a crisp, predictable break and smoother trigger feel than factory 1911 specs. This is a gunsmith-level upgrade: you get a hardened tool-steel sear (replacing the factory cast part), a reduced-power 21 lb. hammer spring, a factory-weight firing pin spring, and Cylinder & Slide's signature No-Bite commander-style hammer with a deep contoured back. The result is lighter lock time, reduced felt recoil stress on your hand, and trigger function you can fine-tune to your exact preference.

The No-Bite hammer design is the key differentiator here. Instead of a traditional spur, it features a chamfered ring profile with a recessed back—this keeps the hammer from biting your hand during recoil and reduces its overall weight. That weight reduction translates to faster lock time and a smoother shooting experience, especially during extended range sessions or competition work. The hardened tool-steel sear polishes cleanly and holds its angles shot after shot, meaning your trigger feel stays consistent for thousands of rounds.

This is a fitting job. Cylinder & Slide recommends gunsmith installation to ensure proper sear engagement and safe function. If you're comfortable with 1911 work or have a trusted smith, this set gives you premium parts and the precision feel that factory triggers simply can't match. The blue finish matches standard 1911 cosmetics.
