As above, its the match hammer and trigger w/over-travel screw which pretty much makes up the match kit, with the exception of the TRS and the possible need of the hammer spring and in some kits the possible addition of a nickle sear spring. The match trigger does not work in the compacts. If you remove the hammer as well, then you bought the expensive kit for the TRS alone? TooSixy has tutorials out on how to adapt the trigger with a screw and he might even still have one left that way for sale.
I discovered this when I did a match/hybrid LEM install and realized that on my USPT, I was throwing away the valuable match parts, mainly the polished hammer. So slightly polish the the LEM hammer will smooth life a bit and won't hurt at all. But sadly, even the match TRS went away. The hammer spring was standard and never changed. So in essence, unless I am confused, in many cases on hybrid, the only remaining match part is the trigger w/screw. So in that regard I simply go LEM unless I am converting a match system to hybrid and then, I have a pile of left over match parts people pay more than $100 for.
Make the search feature your friend. Some good guys have written some great tutorials and stickies for us all. Hope this diatribe helps inform as well. If I erred, guys/gals, please show me the error of my ways :biggrin:
