Extreme Engineering Hammer Strut – Match – Long 

he Extreme Engineering 1911 Long Match Hammer Strut is designed for shooters who want maximum reliability, faster lock time, and consistent trigger performance. It refines a critical part of the fire control system and improves how the entire 1911 operates.

First, Extreme Engineering designs this long hammer strut with correct, purpose-built geometry. This shape prevents the 1911 hammer strut from rubbing against the sear spring during cycling. Because the strut avoids this contact, it does not unload sear spring tension. As a result, the trigger pull stays stable from shot to shot and does not change as round counts increase.

Next, the extended length of the strut increases mainspring compression. This added compression delivers a stronger and more reliable hammer strike to the firing pin. Consequently, ignition improves, especially with hard primers or reduced-power setups. At the same time, the hammer accelerates faster, which shortens lock time and improves shot consistency.

In addition, the smooth profile of the strut allows the hammer to move freely through its full arc. This smooth movement reduces friction and drag inside the frame. Therefore, the fire control system runs cleaner and more efficiently over thousands of cycles.

Furthermore, this long hammer strut integrates perfectly with other Extreme Engineering fire control components. When used with Extreme Engineering hammers, sears, and disconnectors, it helps create a balanced and refined trigger system. Together, these parts reduce the need for stoning and extensive tuning. While minor fitting may still be required, the design simplifies the trigger job process.

Just as important, Extreme Engineering builds this hammer strut for serious use. It performs equally well in competition pistols, duty guns, and high-end custom builds. Shooters who demand speed, consistency, and durability will appreciate the improved control and reliability it provides.
