Extreme Engineering Commander SuperMatch Ignition Kit – 1911 / 2011 (3-Piece)
Range-Ready and Competition-Capable Fire Control Upgrade
Designed for Precision, Consistency, and Control
First and foremost, the Extreme Engineering Commander SuperMatch Ignition Kit upgrades your 1911 or 2011 with a refined, high-performance fire-control system built for serious range use and competitive shooting. Not only does it deliver speed and precision, but it also provides the balance and reliability shooters expect from a true SuperMatch-grade setup.
While many shooters focus solely on the trigger shoe, the real character of a trigger pull comes from the internal ignition components. Specifically, the hammer, sear, disconnector, and springs control break quality, reset feel, and long-term consistency. Because of this, even the most expensive trigger shoe cannot compensate for poor internal geometry or inferior materials.
Why the Commander SuperMatch Kit Outperforms Factory Fire-Control Parts
Most factory fire-control systems rely on simple induction heat treatment. As a result, their hardened layer remains shallow, which limits service life and prevents safe tuning. Over time, this approach often leads to gritty breaks, inconsistent pull weights, and unstable geometry.
By contrast, the Commander SuperMatch Kit uses a premium aerospace alloy originally developed for rocket booster engine applications. Because of this advanced material, every component offers exceptional strength, superior wear resistance, and long-term geometry stability.
Additionally, Extreme Engineering CNC-machines each part to final dimensions. Consequently, there is no need to stone hammer hooks or sear faces. As a result, shooters enjoy a cleaner, lighter, and more consistent trigger pull that remains stable through thousands of rounds.
Competition-Ready Performance with Range Versatility
Right out of the box, the Commander SuperMatch Kit delivers a clean and predictable 3.5-pound trigger pull. However, with a minor adjustment to the included sear spring, shooters can achieve a consistent 2¼-pound competition trigger. More importantly, because the components retain their geometry, the trigger pull does not drift over time.
Furthermore, Extreme Engineering manufactures all components in the USA and backs them with a lifetime warranty against breakage. Therefore, compared to imported ignition kits that use inconsistent steel and questionable heat treatment, this system delivers dramatically higher durability and long-term value.
Because it combines a light hammer, fast lock time, and tunable pull weights, this kit works exceptionally well for both refined range pistols and serious competition builds.
Exclusive Thunder Mountain Custom Advantage
Only Thunder Mountain Custom includes a precision-tuned Light Sear Spring with this kit. As a result, shooters gain a cleaner break, lighter pull potential, and improved consistency right out of the box. Standard ignition kits simply do not include this upgraded spring, which makes this package a clear performance upgrade.
