Extreme Engineering 1911 Ignition Kit – Classic Commander
3‑Piece Fire‑Control System with Elite, Proven Performance
Classic Commander Styling Paired with Modern Precision
First and foremost, the Extreme Engineering Classic Commander 1911 Ignition Kit upgrades your 1911 or 2011 with true match‑grade fire‑control performance. At the same time, and just as importantly, it preserves the traditional Commander‑style appearance. As a result, you gain a cleaner trigger break, a faster and more authoritative reset, and long‑term reliability—all within a single, carefully engineered system.
Why the Ignition System Truly Matters
Many shooters naturally focus on the trigger shoe. However, in reality, the ignition components determine how the trigger actually feels. More specifically, the hammer, sear, disconnector, and springs control the break, the reset, and overall consistency.
Because of this, even a premium trigger shoe cannot overcome weak internal parts. In other words, when steel quality and geometry fall short, performance always suffers. Therefore, upgrading the ignition system produces the most dramatic and meaningful improvement.
A True Upgrade Over Factory Fire‑Control Parts
Better Materials, Better Geometry, Better Results
Most factory ignition parts rely on shallow heat treatment. Over time, this limited hardening leads to accelerated wear. Consequently, shooters begin to notice inconsistent pull weights, rough or dragging trigger breaks, and shifting engagement geometry.
To address these issues, Extreme Engineering starts with a premium aerospace alloy originally developed for rocket booster engines. Because of its exceptional strength and wear resistance, this material maintains precise geometry under heavy use.
Next, and equally important, Extreme Engineering CNC machines each component to exact specifications. As a result, engagement surfaces remain consistent and stable. Therefore, no stoning or polishing is required to achieve excellent performance right from the start.
Ready‑to‑Use Performance Right Out of the Box
Clean Break, Stable Pull, Consistent Reset
Straight out of the box, the Classic Commander Ignition Kit delivers a clean, crisp 4‑lb trigger pull. With light sear spring tuning, it can easily and reliably support a stable 3‑lb competition pull.
More importantly, the trigger feel stays consistent over time. Pull weight does not drift. Reset remains positive and repeatable. Meanwhile, lock time stays fast and predictable. Consequently, shooters gain confidence, control, and consistency through long training sessions and demanding competition use.
In addition, and just as critical, every component is manufactured in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty against breakage.

Fitment Notes
Final Fitting for Best Results
In most cases, installation is straightforward. However, in some pistols, thumb safety fitting may be required. Occasionally, replacing the safety becomes necessary.
Therefore, and for optimal safety and performance, a qualified pistolsmith should perform final fitting and inspection.
