EGW Long Sear
The EGW Long Sear is purpose‑built for pistolsmiths and advanced builders who demand absolute control during trigger work. Rather than forcing a standard‑length sear to fit every build, this sear provides additional material that allows precise customization. As a result, you can tune engagement geometry exactly to your specifications without compromise.
Unlike the standard EGW Hard Sear, this version is machined a few thousandths of an inch longer. Because of this added length, you can stone the sear to a predetermined dimension using a radial sear jig. Consequently, you gain repeatable, predictable results while maintaining proper hammer and sear engagement angles.
Designed for Controlled, Repeatable Fitting
Trigger work demands precision, and the EGW Long Sear delivers that precision from the start. By leaving extra material on the sear nose, EGW allows the builder to remove only what is necessary. This approach improves consistency from build to build and reduces the risk of over‑stoning.
Additionally, the extra length makes this sear especially useful for match pistols, duty guns, and high‑end custom builds. Whether you are chasing a crisp competition break or a safe, clean duty trigger, this sear gives you the control to get there.
Premium Materials and Heat Treatment
EGW machines each Long Sear from American‑made tool steel, ensuring uniform grain structure and long‑term durability. After machining, EGW vacuum heat treats the sear to 52–53 on the Rockwell C scale. This controlled heat‑treat process produces a sear that resists wear while still allowing smooth, predictable stoning.
Furthermore, vacuum heat treatment minimizes distortion and preserves dimensional accuracy. As a result, the sear maintains consistent geometry throughout the fitting process and over thousands of trigger cycles.
Smooth Stoning and Long Service Life
Because the hardness is carefully controlled, the EGW Long Sear stones cleanly without chipping or tearing. This makes it easier to achieve sharp, square engagement surfaces and consistent contact. At the same time, the finished sear resists peening and deformation, even under heavy use.
In addition, the balanced hardness extends service life, which means your trigger job stays crisp and reliable for the long term.
