TBH I find the trigger on the CP99 fine- really quite light on S/A actually- I was surprised how accurate it was. Maybe its just the one I bought, but find it smooth. Having said that it wasn't choice #1 to get as a CO2.
Admit I haven't shot a 1911, one is on my list of "to get", but I feel the CP88 has the edge on the CP99 really. Know the Op doesn't want a S&W, but speaking personally, that is the one I would keep if I could only keep one- good accuracy and a 10 shot mag. Smooth in S/A and D/A...and very sweet with a silencer on the front
