1911 Ignition Kit – Extreme Engineering – Patriot – 3 Piece

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

Classic Commander Styling with a Distinctive Patriot Twist

Precision Fire‑Control Built for Serious Shooters

First and foremost, the Extreme Engineering Patriot Ignition Kit upgrades your 1911 or 2011 with elite‑level fire‑control performance while preserving the unmistakable Classic Commander look. However, instead of the traditional round hammer hole, the Patriot hammer features a bold five‑point star. As a result, you gain a unique American‑inspired aesthetic without sacrificing speed, consistency, or reliability.

At the same time, this ignition kit replaces every critical wear component in your fire‑control system. Therefore, it delivers a cleaner break, faster reset, and long‑term trigger stability that factory systems simply cannot match.

Why Internal Fire‑Control Parts Matter Most

Trigger Feel Starts Inside the Pistol

Many shooters focus primarily on the trigger shoe. However, the true quality of a trigger pull comes from the hammer, sear, disconnector, springs, and—most importantly—their geometry. These internal parts determine crispness, smoothness, reset feel, and repeatability.

Because of this, even the most expensive trigger shoe cannot overcome poor steel quality or worn engagement surfaces. In contrast, the Patriot Ignition Kit corrects these limitations by upgrading every critical interface at once.

Designed to Outperform Factory Ignition Components

Better Materials and Deeper Heat Treatment

Most factory ignition parts rely on shallow induction heat treatment. Unfortunately, this approach limits durability and prevents safe tuning once the hardened layer wears through. Over time, this leads to inconsistent pulls, gritty breaks, geometry loss, and trigger weight drift.

In comparison, Extreme Engineering manufactures the Patriot Kit from a premium aerospace alloy originally developed for rocket booster engine applications. Because of this advanced material, each component delivers exceptional strength, superior wear resistance, and long‑term geometry stability—even under heavy competition use.

Additionally, all parts arrive fully precision‑machined. Therefore, no stoning of hammer hooks or sear faces is required. As a result, you get a cleaner break, faster reset, and a trigger pull that stays consistent through thousands of rounds.

Classic Commander Look with Ready‑to‑Use Performance

Match‑Grade Results Right Out of the Box

Right from the start, the Patriot Ignition Kit delivers a clean 4‑lb trigger pull. Moreover, with minor sear spring adjustment, it easily achieves a stable 3‑lb competition pull.

Just as importantly, the trigger geometry remains stable. Pull weight does not drift, reset stays positive, and lock time remains fast and consistent. Furthermore, every Extreme Engineering component is made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty against breakage. Consequently, this kit offers dramatically greater durability and consistency than imported ignition sets with inconsistent steel and heat treatment.

What’s Included in the Patriot Ignition Kit

Patriot Chamfered Ultra‑Light Hammer

First, the Patriot hammer improves speed while adding a distinctive visual element.

• 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 at light pull weights.

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

• Heat treated to 44–46 Rockwell C

• Maintains precise engagement geometry

• Helps prevent follow‑down

• Proven in match pistols nationwide

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

National Match Disconnector

Then, the National Match Disconnector refines reset speed and cycling reliability.

• Lightweight construction improves reset consistency

• Supports high‑speed cycling

• Enhances double‑tap performance

• Remains reliable during extended firing sessions

Thunder Mountain Custom Standard Sear Spring

Finally, the included Thunder Mountain Custom sear spring completes the system.

• Tuned for a crisp, clean break

• Supports stable light pull weights

• Delivers a smooth, repeatable trigger feel

Compared to standard factory sear springs, it provides noticeably better consistency and control.

Compatibility

Designed for 1911 and 2011 Platforms

Accordingly, the Patriot Ignition Kit fits:

• Springfield

• Colt

• Kimber

• STI

• SV

• Para

• Springfield Prodigy

• Custom 1911 and 2011 builds

Important Fitment Notes

Final Fitting for Optimal Safety and Performance

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 best results, a qualified pistolsmith should perform final fitting and inspection.
