Anyone know if these triggers are any good?

I feel like now would be a good time to inform people that this is a deceptively named company. "Colt Competition" is not the same as "Colt's Manufacturing Company" (CMC). This company went out of business earlier in the year and might just be cleaning out stock. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2017/03/robert-farago/colt-competition-goes-business-first-many/
Don't get your jimmies in a rustle over the dat Colt name brand.

Nah, but if anybody sees more of those Colt Competition adjustable gas blocks by all means come running this way! Brownells was sold out within a day or so of the news that Colt Competition was closing.

If I'd known that before hand I wouldn't have posted it.

Better off getting one of the nickel-teflon triggers out there on sale such as the Palmetto State Armory EPT, MidwayUSA AR-Stoner enhanced trigger, or the more common ALG ACT.

I heard these and PSA EPT are the same.

I have one of the non-EPT PSA triggers and it is the typical Schmid trigger and it appears the EPT is as well. Markings on this Toms Tactical Trigger also suggest it is a Schmid. To my knowledge the only company out there doing the Nickel-Teflon coating is Robar (aka "NP3") which would suggest that the triggers are very similar. I don't know about the springs.
Both the MidwayUSA AR-Stoner Enhanced Trigger and PSA EPT trigger are often sold for $29.99

Appreciate the help guys!

New to "upgrading" guns, how easy is it to install a trigger? Could someone with no experience do it with a few videos or is a gunsmith needed?
It's easy. You need sine patience, a punch, and a good video. I did it sitting on my recliner
The first time can take a while but after that it gets easy.
just make sure you get the hammer spring in the right place.
Pretty simple. You'll need a small hammer and punch or a small hex driver (something flat) to drive out the trigger and hammer pins. The rest is patience. You can do it on your own after a few YouTube videos.
About 5-10 minutes of your time
