The EGW Lightened 1911 Hammer Stainless Steel is the best hammer available on the market.

Whether you are looking for a replacement hammer or are doing a full custom build from scratch, the EGW 1911 Lightened Hammer Stainless Steel is exactly what you need.

After looking into several manufacturing methods, we decided to fully machine our 1911 lightened hammers from solid barstock, the method we use for our popular 1911 hard sear, 1911 long ball head disconnector, 1911 slide stops and 1911 thumb safeties. This component is also part of our ignition kits which are a vast improvement over the factory trigger pull.

The accuracy of our 1911 hammer is impressive. Using one hold to machine and ream the holes, mill the profile, cut reliefs and slice the hammer means that all these operations will be within .0005" for a true and square hammer.

The tank treads for cocking serrations look Heavy Duty and are functional without adding stress risers.
The slot through the top adds a distinctive looks and make the hammer lighter.
We have two variations on our hammer, lightened or solid- our lightened 1911 hammer weighs in at 10.7 grams (165 grains).

All of our gun parts are manufactured in the U.S.A. with pride. We make gun parts for some of the largest manufacturers.
