EGW Lightened 1911 Hammer – Dual Tone | Faster Lock Time

EGW Lightened 1911 Hammer – Dual Tone

The EGW Lightened 1911 Hammer – Dual Tone combines reduced weight, precise geometry, and rugged durability for shooters who demand faster lock time and consistent performance. Designed for Colt‑style 1911 pistols and quality clones, this hammer improves ignition while maintaining long‑term reliability.

Lightened for Faster Lock Time

EGW machines this hammer from American tool steel, then removes excess mass to reduce weight. As a result, the hammer falls faster. Consequently, lock time shortens and shot-to-shot consistency improves. This design benefits competition shooters, duty users, and serious enthusiasts alike.

Precision Machined from Solid Steel

Rather than using cast or MIM parts, EGW fully machines each hammer from solid bar stock. They use the same proven process found in their hard sears, disconnectors, slide stops, and thumb safeties.

In addition, EGW machines the hammer in one continuous setup. They drill and ream the pin holes, mill the profile, cut reliefs, and finish the serrations in a single operation. Because of this, all critical surfaces stay within .0005″ tolerance, ensuring a true, square hammer with consistent sear engagement.

Dual Tone Finish with Functional Serrations

The dual tone finish delivers a striking appearance while highlighting the hammer’s precision machining. At the same time, the aggressive cocking serrations provide a secure grip for manual cocking. Importantly, EGW designs these serrations without stress risers, so strength remains uncompromised.

Built for Reliability and Control

Furthermore, the hammer’s geometry promotes clean trigger breaks and positive resets. This design helps maintain smooth operation through thousands of firing cycles. Whether you build a custom pistol or upgrade a factory gun, this hammer supports reliable ignition and repeatable performance.
