Sear Pin – Ambidextrous Safety – Stainless Steel
Ensure Proper Ambi Safety Clearance and Consistent Trigger Performance
The Ambidextrous Safety Sear Pin – Stainless Steel provides a precision-engineered replacement specifically designed for 1911 pistols equipped with ambidextrous thumb safeties. First and foremost, this sear pin features a flat-cut right side, which allows proper clearance for ambi safety levers. As a result, the safety engages and disengages smoothly without interference, binding, or drag.
Moreover, this pin is manufactured from high-grade stainless steel and fully hardened to restore tight tolerances, smooth trigger movement, and long-term durability. Consequently, both duty and competition pistols benefit from consistent performance and reliable operation.
Precision Swiss CNC Manufacturing
Exact Tolerances for Reliable Fit and Function
Each ambidextrous safety sear pin begins as premium stainless steel stock and is machined on advanced Swiss CNC screw machines for precise dimensional control. Furthermore, after machining, every pin completes a carefully controlled finishing process that includes:
-
Centerless grinding to achieve exact diameter consistency
-
Full heat treatment and hardening for increased strength
-
Final surface finishing to promote smooth operation and wear resistance
Because of this meticulous process, the pin installs cleanly, seats securely, and maintains its shape through extended firing cycles. Therefore, long-term reliability remains consistent even under heavy use.
Designed Specifically for Ambidextrous Safeties
Flat-Cut Profile for Proper Clearance
Unlike standard sear pins, this ambidextrous model incorporates a flat-cut on the right side. Consequently, it provides the necessary clearance for ambi safety levers while eliminating interference. At the same time, this design:
-
Prevents binding and unwanted drag
-
Maintains smooth, positive safety engagement
-
Preserves clean and consistent trigger movement
As a result, pistols equipped with ambidextrous controls retain proper function without compromising trigger feel or safety operation.
Built for Strength and Trigger Consistency
Hardened Stainless Steel for Long-Term Use
Soft factory sear pins can bend, walk, or wear prematurely. In contrast, this hardened stainless steel sear pin maintains precise sear alignment and resists deformation under recoil. Consequently, it preserves proper trigger geometry and protects high-quality trigger work.
Additionally, the hardened construction ensures consistent performance over high round counts. As a result, the pin delivers long-term reliability while supporting crisp, predictable trigger operation.
All pins meet or exceed OEM specifications. Therefore, they perform reliably in both factory and custom-built pistols.
