TMC 1911 Hammer Pin – Carbon Steel | Blued
Restore Proper Geometry, Secure Retention, and Classic 1911 Performance
The TMC 1911 Hammer Pin – Carbon Steel | Blued plays a critical role in maintaining correct fire-control geometry, smooth hammer rotation, and dependable ignition in all standard 1911 pistols. First and foremost, this hammer pin is precision machined from high-strength carbon steel. As a result, it provides superior rigidity compared to soft factory pins. Consequently, it restores proper alignment and prevents unwanted movement during recoil.
Over time, factory hammer pins frequently wear, loosen, or undersize. Therefore, hammer stability decreases and trigger consistency suffers. However, by installing this hardened carbon steel hammer pin, you immediately correct these issues. By maintaining tight tolerances and supporting proper hammer rotation, the pin improves reliability. In addition, it helps preserve consistent trigger feel shot after shot. Ultimately, your 1911 performs the way it was originally designed to function.
Precision Swiss CNC Manufacturing
Exact Dimensions for a True, Repeatable Fit
Each hammer pin starts as premium carbon steel bar stock and is then machined on Swiss CNC screw machines to exact dimensions. Afterward, every pin undergoes a controlled finishing process that ensures uniformity and precision. Specifically, this process includes:
-
Centerless grinding for accurate diameter
-
Full heat treatment for increased hardness
-
Final polishing for smooth installation
Because of this attention to detail, the pin installs cleanly and seats securely. As a result, it resists deformation and prevents pin walk. Furthermore, the precise diameter ensures proper alignment of the hammer and sear. In turn, internal wear is reduced and long-term reliability improves.
Hardened Carbon Steel Strength
Built to Withstand Recoil and Repeated Use
Unlike soft or under-hardened factory pins, this carbon steel hammer pin actively resists bending, peening, and elongation. Consequently, it maintains structural integrity even under heavy recoil. At the same time, it supports smooth hammer movement and consistent ignition.
Moreover, the increased hardness prevents the pin from egg-shaping the frame holes. Therefore, surrounding fire-control components maintain correct geometry. Additionally, by reducing friction at the pivot point, the pin contributes to a smoother trigger cycle. As a result, performance remains consistent over extended firing sessions.
Blued Finish for Classic Protection
Traditional Appearance with Functional Benefits
The deep blued finish not only delivers a classic 1911 appearance, but it also provides functional protection. Specifically, bluing helps reduce surface oxidation while maintaining a clean, professional look. Consequently, the pin blends seamlessly with traditional carbon steel and blued pistols.
Furthermore, the smooth surface finish aids installation and removal. In addition, it minimizes galling between mating components. Ultimately, the blued finish enhances both durability and aesthetics.
