Ignition Kit – Extreme Engineering – LiteSpeed – 3 Piece

Extreme Engineering LiteSpeed Ignition Kit (3‑Piece)

Ultra‑Fast Lock Time Upgrade for 1911 & 2011 Competition Pistols

Upgrade your 1911 or 2011 competition pistol with the Extreme Engineering LiteSpeed Ignition Kit, a premium fire‑control system built for speed, precision, and long‑term consistency. Many shooters focus on the trigger shoe alone; however, the true trigger feel comes from the hammer, sear, disconnector, and springs. Because these internal parts control break, reset, and lock time, they ultimately define performance. Therefore, even the most expensive trigger shoe cannot compensate for poor ignition components.

Why the LiteSpeed Ignition Kit Outperforms Factory Parts

Factory fire‑control parts often rely on basic induction heat treatment. As a result, once you tune or stone them, the hardened surface disappears. Over time, the trigger pull becomes heavier, grittier, and inconsistent.

By contrast, the Extreme Engineering LiteSpeed Kit eliminates these issues entirely. Instead, it uses an advanced aerospace‑grade alloy, the same material used in rocket booster engines. Because this steel resists wear and holds geometry, engagement surfaces stay crisp for years. Additionally, Extreme Engineering machines every part precisely, so you do not need to stone the sear or hammer hooks. Consequently, installation delivers immediate and lasting improvements.

Competition‑Optimized Trigger Performance

Right out of the box, the LiteSpeed Kit delivers a clean, crisp 3‑lb trigger pull. Moreover, with a simple adjustment to the included sear spring, you can reliably tune the system down to approximately 2¼ lb. Because the parts retain hardness and shape, the trigger pull remains stable through high round counts and long match seasons.

Furthermore, Extreme Engineering components outperform most imported ignition kits, which often use soft metals or inconsistent heat treatment. In addition, every Extreme Engineering fire‑control part includes a lifetime warranty against breakage. Therefore, this kit is ideal for shooters who demand ultra‑fast lock time, repeatable performance, and complete control over trigger weight.

Notably, Thunder Mountain Custom includes its exclusive Light Sear Spring. As a result, you achieve a lighter, cleaner, and smoother break than with standard springs found in other kits.

What’s Included in the LiteSpeed Ignition Kit

LiteSpeed Hammer (Original Model)

The original LiteSpeed Hammer features extremely low mass for ultra‑fast lock time. Because reduced mass shortens ignition delay, split times improve and the pistol feels more responsive. Additionally, full‑depth heat treatment ensures strength and longevity. It fits most 1911 and 2011 platforms, including Springfield, Kimber, Colt, STI, SV, Para, and the Springfield Prodigy.

Ultra Low‑Mass Sear

The LiteSpeed Sear uses re‑contoured geometry to reduce mass and increase reset speed. As a result, it supports very light trigger pulls with excellent consistency. Furthermore, the micro‑honed bearing surface produces a smooth, predictable break. Aerospace‑grade alloy construction and full heat treatment ensure exceptional wear resistance.

Ultra Low‑Mass Disconnector

This lightweight disconnector improves reset speed and reduces lag during rapid shooting. Consequently, reliability remains high even during fast double‑taps and aggressive competition use.

Installation Notes

• Thumb safety fitting may be required

• Some pistols may require a new thumb safety

• A qualified 1911/2011 gunsmith is recommended for competition setups

Built for Serious 1911 & 2011 Competitors

If you compete with a 1911 or 2011 platform, including the Springfield Prodigy, STI, SV, or custom match pistols, the Extreme Engineering LiteSpeed Ignition Kit delivers faster lock time, superior consistency, and a cleaner break. Because of its aerospace‑grade materials, precise machining, and proven design, this kit provides a match‑grade trigger feel that stays consistent through thousands of rounds.

Ultimately, this ignition kit is the ideal choice for shooters who demand speed, control, and long‑term reliability in a competition‑ready fire‑control system.
