Never have used one but read that they are pretty good. Of course anything would be an improvement over a factory 870/1100 trigger.

Years ago I installed one in my 7400 , very straight forward to install. The kit comes with 3 springs and a sear. I installed the 2lb spring and boy did it make a difference. The only drawn back is the price for a piece of steel and 3 little springs. Not sure the cost today , I forked over around $75 at the time.

Its costly, but I pay up if it improves performance.

Yes you will definitely see an improvement , I know I sure did. There is still a hint of creep but nowhere near the amount before. I never measured the trigger before , now it averages 2lbs after install.

The before is a lawyer-proof too heavy on mine.....lol
I've noticed that the sum total of improvements on a firearm are worth the cost in the end.

I bought a spring from this seller:
I would suggest the 3# one, as the 2# in my 7400 is about 1.5 pounds.

MidwayUSA, MGW, Brownells all sent springs that were nearly identical, supposedly 3.5 lb pull. Each of them I tested gave a trigger pull so close to that of the original 5lb + spring, the difference could not be felt.

Any time I'm near a sear I use a buffing wheel on a Dremel with Flitz polish, and polish them up.
Go slow and be careful, and you'll be fine.
