Doug Koenig Competition 1911 Sear | Ultra‑Hard Tool Steel

Doug Koenig Competition 1911 Sear – Ultra-Hard Precision for 1911 Builds

The Doug Koenig Competition 1911 Sear sets a new benchmark for competitive shooters and dedicated 1911 builders. Unlike standard sears, which often demand hours of stoning and fitting, this sear delivers a clean-breaking, light trigger pull with minimal adjustment. In fact, you can often install it directly out of the package and immediately experience improved performance. As a result, you save significant time while building or tuning your pistol.

Precision CNC Machining Ensures Consistent Performance

First, Thunder Mountain Custom CNC-machines each Koenig Sear from premium American tool steel barstock. Then, we carefully grind each piece to achieve the precise sear angle, ensuring full, reliable hammer engagement. Consequently, every sear maintains exact dimensions and geometry, which produces consistent engagement across multiple builds. Therefore, shooters enjoy a predictable, crisp trigger pull without compromising safety or function.

Ultra-Hard Construction Provides Long-Lasting Durability

Furthermore, durability matters in high-performance triggers, and this sear delivers. The Koenig Competition Sear hardens to Rc 55, which resists deformation, peening, and premature wear. Thus, you can fire thousands of rounds without losing trigger quality. Additionally, its hardness allows cleaner, more controlled stoning when fine-tuning becomes necessary. Therefore, this sear ensures your 1911 maintains consistent, reliable performance for years.

Optimized for Competition and Custom Builds

In addition, competitive shooters and custom builders will value the precision and versatility of this sear. Whether you build a match-grade 1911 or upgrade your carry pistol, this sear allows fine control over trigger geometry, producing a trigger feel that balances speed, smoothness, and control—critical for both timed matches and precision shooting.

Since it requires little or no pre-fitting, this sear also reduces the risk of accidental over-stoning. As a result, engagement surfaces stay perfect, and you achieve reliable, repeatable performance every time you pull the trigger.
