1911 Ignition Kit – Extreme Engineering – Comet – 3 Piece

Extreme Engineering Comet – 1911 / 2011 Ignition Kit (3‑Piece)

Classic Commander Styling with a Distinctive Twist and Elite Fire‑Control Performance

A Classic Look Refined for Modern Competition

First and foremost, the Extreme Engineering Comet Ignition Kit upgrades your 1911 or 2011 with a Classic Commander‑style hammer that features a unique tapered comet‑tail cut in place of the traditional round hole. As a result, you retain the timeless Commander appearance while adding a subtle visual distinction that sets your pistol apart. At the same time, this kit delivers the speed, consistency, and long‑term reliability serious competitors demand.

Moreover, Extreme Engineering designs the Comet Kit as a complete, precision‑engineered fire‑control system. Consequently, every component works together to produce smooth operation, fast lock time, and a stable trigger pull throughout extended use.

Why Internal Fire‑Control Components Matter Most

True Trigger Performance Starts Inside

Many shooters focus almost exclusively on the trigger shoe. However, true trigger quality depends on the hammer, sear, disconnector, springs, and—most importantly—their geometry. These internal parts directly control break crispness, reset feel, and overall consistency.

Because of this, even the most expensive trigger shoe cannot compensate for poor materials or worn engagement surfaces. Therefore, upgrading the entire ignition system delivers a far greater performance gain than cosmetic changes alone.

Built to Outperform Factory Ignition Parts

Advanced Materials and Long‑Term Geometry Stability

Most factory ignition components rely on shallow induction heat treatment. Unfortunately, this approach limits durability and prevents safe tuning once the hardened surface wears away. Over time, shooters experience inconsistent trigger pulls, gritty breaks, geometry wear, and drifting trigger weights.

In contrast, the Extreme Engineering Comet Kit uses a premium aerospace alloy originally developed for rocket booster engine applications. Because of this advanced material, the system delivers exceptional strength, superior wear resistance, and long‑term geometry stability. Additionally, each component arrives fully precision‑machined, eliminating the need for stoning hammer hooks or sear faces. As a result, you gain a cleaner break, faster reset, and longer‑lasting trigger pull than factory or imported ignition sets.

Ready‑to‑Use Performance with Distinctive Style

Classic Commander Feel with Competition Speed

Right out of the box, the Comet Ignition Kit delivers a clean 4‑lb trigger pull. Furthermore, with minor sear spring adjustment, it easily achieves a consistent 3‑lb competition pull. At the same time, trigger geometry remains stable, preventing pull‑weight drift even after heavy use.

Lock time stays ultra‑fast, reset remains positive, and trigger feel stays predictable shot after shot. Moreover, all Extreme Engineering components are made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty against breakage. Consequently, compared to imported ignition kits with inconsistent steel and heat treatment, this kit offers dramatically higher durability and long‑term value.

What’s Included in the Comet Ignition Kit

Comet Chamfered Ultra‑Light Hammer

To begin with, the Comet hammer combines classic Commander proportions with a tapered comet‑tail cut for reduced mass.

• Weighs only 0.7 oz

• Delivers one of the fastest lock times available

• Heat treated to 50–54 Rockwell C

• Ultra‑low mass improves trigger response and split times

Fits Colt, Kimber, Springfield, STI, SV, Para, Springfield Prodigy, and compatible platforms.

Tactical Precision Sear

Next, the Tactical Precision Sear ensures stability and consistency at lighter pull weights.

• Manufactured from the same aerospace alloy as Extreme Engineering premium hammers

• Heat treated to 44–46 Rockwell C

• Maintains precise geometry under heavy use

• Helps prevent follow‑down

• Proven in match pistols nationwide

Because of this design, it performs exceptionally well in ultra‑light and competition‑focused trigger setups.

National Match Disconnector

Finally, the National Match Disconnector refines reset timing and cycling reliability.

• Lightweight design improves reset consistency

• Supports high‑speed cycling

• Enhances double‑tap performance

• Remains reliable during extended firing sessions

Compatibility

Designed for 1911 and 2011 Platforms

Accordingly, the Comet Ignition Kit fits:

• Springfield

• Colt

• Kimber

• STI

• SV

• Para

• Springfield Prodigy

• Custom 1911 and 2011 builds

Important Fitment Notes

Professional Fitting Recommended

In most cases, installation is straightforward. However, some pistols may require thumb safety fitting. In select situations, replacing the thumb safety may be necessary to achieve proper sear engagement.

Therefore, for optimal safety and performance, final fitting and inspection by a qualified pistolsmith is recommended.

Built for the Serious 1911 / 2011 Shooter
