EGW Short Serrated 1911 Trigger – Reliable Single-Stack Fit

EGW 1911 Trigger – Short, Serrated

A Simpler, Stronger 1911 Trigger Design

Engineered for Control, Consistency, and Reliability

First and foremost, the EGW 1911 trigger eliminates one of the most common failure points found in adjustable designs. Instead of relying on an overtravel screw that can loosen, shift, or disable the pistol, this trigger uses a fixed design. As a result, you gain consistent trigger travel without the risk of an improperly adjusted screw blocking hammer release.

No Overtravel Screw, No Guesswork

Moreover, EGW removes the misconception surrounding overtravel screws entirely. On a 1911 trigger, that screw only limits rearward movement and does not affect trigger pull weight. Therefore, by removing the screw altogether, EGW ensures reliable function while preventing user‑induced malfunctions. Consequently, the trigger delivers predictable movement every time the trigger is pressed.

Videki‑Pattern Trigger Bow for Proven Performance

At the same time, EGW builds this 1911 trigger using trigger bows formed on original Videki dies. Because Videki set the industry standard for 1911 triggers, this bow delivers correct geometry, smooth travel, and long‑term durability. In addition, EGW permanently secures the bow to the trigger shoe by staking it and applying red Loctite. As a result, even if one retention method were to fail, the second ensures the bow remains solidly mounted.

Serrated, Nearly Flat Trigger Face for Better Feedback

Furthermore, the short, serrated trigger face features an almost flat profile with a very slight radius. Consequently, your finger contacts the center of the serrations rather than wrapping around a curved surface. This design provides enhanced tactile feedback and better control. Additionally, even if your finger lands slightly high or low during a rushed draw, the trigger remains comfortable and predictable.

Oversized Trigger Shoe for Proper Fitting

Likewise, EGW machines the trigger shoe slightly taller to allow proper fitting in frames that may be slightly out of specification. Therefore, gunsmiths gain more flexibility during installation while maintaining correct trigger alignment and feel.

Designed Specifically for Single‑Stack Pistols

Finally, this 1911 trigger fits single‑stack pistols only, ensuring correct dimensions and reliable interaction with standard 1911 fire control components. Above all, EGW focuses on durability, simplicity, and real‑world function rather than unnecessary adjustments.

Why Choose This EGW 1911 Trigger

Ultimately, you get a rugged, no‑nonsense 1911 trigger that delivers consistent feel, excellent feedback, and long‑term reliability. For shooters who value performance over gimmicks, this EGW trigger stands out as a dependable upgrade.
