The EGW Solution for Your Custom 1911

The secret to a competition-winning trigger is unparalleled precision and style. Here’s why our lightened hammer is the superior choice:

• ✔ Unique 2-Tone Finish: We take our precision-machined hammer, apply a deep blue finish, and then carefully grind the side flats to expose the raw steel, creating a stunning and unique custom look.
• ✔ Unmatched Machining Accuracy: We use a single machine hold to drill and ream the holes, mill the profile, and cut all reliefs. This process ensures all operations are held within .0005", resulting in a truly square and precise hammer for a flawless trigger job.
• ✔ Faster Lock Time: The distinctive slot and skeletonized design reduce the hammer's weight to just 10.7 grams (165 grains). This lower mass allows the hammer to fall faster, reducing lock time—a measurable advantage in precision shooting.
• ✔ Functional "Tank Tread" Serrations: The unique cocking serrations offer a positive, non-slip surface for manual cocking without creating the stress risers found in traditional checkering.
