EGW Lightened 1911 Hammer – Stainless Steel

EGW Lightened 1911 Hammer – Stainless Steel

The EGW Lightened 1911 Hammer – Stainless Steel delivers faster lock time, precise control, and long-lasting durability for Colt-style 1911 pistols and high-quality clones. By removing excess weight without compromising strength, this hammer improves trigger response, ignition consistency, and overall performance.

Lightened Design for Faster Lock Time

EGW machines this hammer from solid stainless steel and carefully reduces mass to lighten it. As a result, the hammer falls faster, shortens lock time, and improves shot-to-shot consistency. Consequently, shooters enjoy more responsive triggers and enhanced control, especially during rapid fire or competitive shooting.

Precision Machined from Solid Steel

Instead of using cast or MIM components, EGW fully machines each hammer from solid bar stock. They apply the same process used for their hard sears, long ball head disconnectors, slide stops, and thumb safeties.

Additionally, EGW machines the hammer in a single setup, reaming pin holes, milling the profile, cutting reliefs, and finishing the serrations all in one operation. This ensures all critical surfaces remain within .0005″ tolerance, producing a true, square hammer that engages the sear consistently.

Functional Serrations and Smooth Operation

The hammer features aggressive cocking serrations for a secure grip during manual cocking. At the same time, the serrations avoid stress risers, preserving strength and reliability.

The geometry of the hammer ensures smooth trigger breaks, clean resets, and reliable ignition. Whether upgrading a factory pistol or building a custom 1911, this hammer performs consistently through thousands of firing cycles.

Durable and Reliable

The stainless steel construction resists bending, wear, and corrosion, making it ideal for range use, competition, or duty applications. Its polished finish also adds a professional, high-quality appearance to any pistol build.
