EGW Lightened 1911 Hammer – Black | Faster Lock Time

EGW Lightened 1911 Hammer – Black

The EGW Lightened 1911 Hammer – Black delivers faster lock time, precise control, and long‑term durability for Colt‑style 1911 pistols and quality clones. By reducing mass without sacrificing strength, this hammer improves ignition consistency and overall shooting performance.

Lightened for Speed and Control

EGW machines this hammer from American tool steel, then removes excess material to reduce weight. As a result, the hammer falls faster. Consequently, lock time shortens. This improvement helps shooters maintain better shot‑to‑shot consistency, especially during rapid fire.

Precision Machined from Solid Steel

Instead of using cast or MIM parts, EGW fully machines each hammer from solid bar stock. They use the same proven process found in their hard sears, disconnectors, slide stops, and thumb safeties.

In addition, EGW machines the hammer in one continuous setup. They drill and ream the pin holes, mill the profile, cut reliefs, and finish the serrations in a single operation. Because of this approach, all critical surfaces stay within .0005″ tolerance. This precision creates a true, square hammer that engages the sear cleanly and consistently.

Functional Serrations and Black Finish

The hammer features aggressive cocking serrations that provide a secure grip for manual cocking. At the same time, EGW designs these serrations without stress risers, so strength remains intact.

Furthermore, the black finish delivers a clean, professional appearance. It also blends seamlessly with blued or blacked‑out pistols, making it ideal for duty guns and competition builds alike.

Built for Reliability

Moreover, the hammer’s optimized geometry promotes smooth trigger breaks and positive resets. It resists wear and deformation through thousands of firing cycles. Whether you build a custom pistol or upgrade a factory gun, this hammer supports reliable ignition and consistent performance.
