STI sells trigger blanks. Or.......
Go to the nearest gunshow and find some old triggers with the plastic shoe and just melt it off.

Trigger Bow:
Dear Shooter:
Sir, may I most respectfully say that if you're going to use this gun for COMBAT use I would not recommend this; I'd get a Videki (or clone) of their 3 hole trigger. Usually people want a super-lite trigger to prevent "following" with a TOO LIGHT trigger-pull. More "following" on a 1911 package is caused by "trigger bounce" than all other reasons combined!
I cannot recommend a trigger lighter than four lbs' on a combat gun, and five is better! When you really see the elephant trigger pull has NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING!
The same with a DGR rifle like my .416 Taylor which I left the good Mauser two stage pull on at five lbs'. I want to know when that thing goes off in African hunting! Also on my 9.3X62.
I hope I've not offended your choice and if you want it, go for it.

i believe that brownells has some.
Gentlemen, I'm still looking.
Harry, no, this is definitely NOT for a combat application.
Lycanthrope, I'm looking for the bow only. To demill a trigger "adds insult to injury", because I'm spending more for a part only to grind off what I just spend more money for.
Guntotin', I looked on the Brownell's website, but didn't find anything. Do you happen to have a part number for me? I don't have a hard copy catalog, so you have me at a disadvantage.
Thanks!

You will likely pay as much (and maybe even more) since the demand for trigger bows without triggers is pretty small.
Triggers for a 1911 are $20-$50. There is at least one ‘system’ with the ability to change the shoe for length and curve.

The last gunshow I went to had a bucket of old 1911 triggers fro $5 a piece. I figured that'd be worth trying.
The changeable insert is the SVI system.
