Extreme Engineering 1911 Sear – Tactical
A 1911 Sear Built for Tactical Reliability and Long‑Term Performance
The Extreme Engineering 1911 Sear – Tactical delivers unmatched durability, consistency, and reliability for serious 1911 shooters. Designed specifically for tactical pistol applications, this sear solves common issues found in light trigger pull setups while maintaining safe, positive engagement. As a result, it provides confidence where reliability matters most.
Aerospace‑Grade Steel Construction
Extreme Engineering machines this tactical sear from the same aerospace steel alloy used in their premium hammers. Consequently, the material offers exceptional strength, wear resistance, and dimensional stability. Unlike softer sears that wear prematurely, this alloy maintains precise geometry over extended use.
In addition, the sear is manufactured to the same tight tolerances as the Extreme Engineering low‑mass sear, ensuring consistent engagement and repeatable trigger performance.
Optimized Heat Treatment for Maximum Service Life
The Tactical Sear is heat treated to 44–46 Rockwell C, a hardness range chosen specifically to balance durability and controlled wear. Therefore, it delivers an exceptionally long service life without becoming brittle. This treatment allows the sear to outlast virtually every other sear currently on the market.
Designed to Eliminate Trigger Follow Issues
If your pistol experiences hammer follow when running a light trigger pull, this sear provides the solution. The Tactical Sear maintains positive engagement even in reduced‑weight trigger systems. Consequently, shooters gain a clean, reliable trigger break without sacrificing safety or control.
Because of this design focus, the Tactical Sear has become a trusted upgrade for both defensive and duty pistols.
Competition Proven, Tactical Ready
Although engineered for tactical pistols, this sear is fully competition proven. It performs flawlessly under high round counts, rapid fire, and demanding conditions. Whether used in training, competition, or duty use, it delivers consistent and predictable results.
