EGW GUNSMITH SHORT HARD SEAR 1911 (SHORTENED BY .005″)

EGW Gunsmith Short Hard Sear 1911 (.005″ Short)

Precision Geometry for Clean, Predictable Trigger Pulls

The EGW Gunsmith Short Hard Sear gives serious builders precise control over 1911 trigger geometry. EGW shortens this sear by .005 inches, allowing gunsmiths to fine-tune engagement depth while maintaining a safe, neutral trigger feel. As a result, you gain better adjustability without sacrificing reliability.

Neutral Geometry for Consistent Engagement

EGW machines the primary sear face perfectly perpendicular to the sear pin axis. Because of this neutral geometry, the sear releases smoothly without lifting or dragging the hammer. Consequently, the trigger breaks cleanly and consistently every time.

Unlike positive or negative sears, this neutral design avoids stacking or creeping. Therefore, shooters experience a predictable pull that inspires confidence during both slow fire and rapid strings.

Shortened Length for Advanced Trigger Tuning

EGW shortens this sear by .005 inches to give skilled gunsmiths additional flexibility during trigger setup. This reduced length allows precise control over hammer hook engagement, which proves especially useful in custom or competition builds.

As a result, builders can achieve optimal trigger feel while maintaining safe engagement angles. This makes the sear ideal for professional trigger work where fine adjustments matter.

American Tool Steel for Strength and Longevity

EGW machines this sear from American-made tool steel, ensuring strength, consistency, and durability. After machining, EGW heat treats the sear to 52–53 Rockwell C, which resists wear while preserving precise geometry.

Because of this heat treatment, the sear maintains its crisp engagement over long service life. Even after high round counts, it continues to deliver reliable trigger performance.

Built for Gunsmiths and Serious Builders

This sear suits experienced gunsmiths and advanced 1911 builders who demand control and repeatability. It works well in competition pistols, custom builds, and finely tuned range guns.

Moreover, its neutral geometry pairs easily with properly cut hammer hooks, making it a trusted choice for professional trigger jobs.
