Extreme Engineering Patriot Ignition Kit (5‑Piece)
Classic Commander Style for 1911 and 2011 Pistols
Upgrade your 1911 or 2011 competition pistol with the Extreme Engineering Patriot Ignition Kit. This five‑piece system delivers elite fire‑control performance while preserving a classic Commander appearance. At the same time, the Patriot hammer replaces the standard round hole with a distinctly American five‑point star, adding visual character without sacrificing speed or reliability. Consequently, you gain a precision‑engineered ignition system built for shooters who demand consistency, control, and long service life.
Why Internal Fire‑Control Parts Matter Most
Many shooters focus primarily on the trigger shoe; however, the true trigger feel comes from the hammer, sear, disconnector, springs, and their geometry. These components directly control crispness, smoothness, reset feel, and long‑term consistency. Therefore, even a premium trigger shoe cannot overcome poor internal fire‑control parts.
Because of this, the Patriot Ignition Kit replaces every critical wear component in the ignition system. As a result, your pistol delivers a clean, stable trigger pull that remains consistent through thousands of rounds.
Why the Patriot Kit Outperforms Factory Fire‑Control Parts
Most factory ignition components rely on simple induction heat treatment. Consequently, they develop shallow surface hardness, which limits durability and prevents safe tuning without cutting through the hardened layer. Over time, this approach leads to inconsistent trigger pulls, gritty breaks, geometry wear, and trigger weight drift.
In contrast, Extreme Engineering manufactures the Patriot Kit from a premium aerospace‑grade alloy originally developed for rocket booster engine applications. Because this advanced material offers exceptional strength and superior wear resistance, it maintains precise geometry under extended use. Furthermore, Extreme Engineering fully precision‑machines each component, so no stoning of hammer hooks or sear faces is required. As a result, the system produces a cleaner break, faster reset, and longer‑lasting trigger pull than factory or imported ignition sets.
Classic Commander Style with Modern Performance
Right out of the box, the Patriot Ignition Kit delivers a clean four‑pound trigger pull. Additionally, with minor sear spring adjustment, you can achieve a consistent three‑pound competition pull. Because the components retain their geometry, the trigger pull stays stable without weight drift. Meanwhile, the lightweight Commander‑style hammer with the five‑point star cutout provides fast lock time and precise trigger response.
Extreme Engineering manufactures all components in the USA and backs them with a lifetime warranty against breakage. Therefore, compared to imported ignition kits made with inconsistent steel and heat treatment, this system delivers dramatically higher durability and long‑term value.
The Thunder Mountain Custom Advantage
Only Thunder Mountain Custom includes a custom Standard Sear Spring with this kit. Because this spring is precision‑tuned for the Patriot system, it delivers a cleaner break, supports lighter pull weights, and improves long‑term consistency. Standard ignition kits do not include this upgraded sear spring.
What’s Included in the Patriot Ignition Kit
Patriot Chamfered Ultra‑Light Commander Hammer
This hammer weighs only 0.7 oz. As a result, it delivers one of the fastest lock times available while improving trigger response and shot‑to‑shot split times. Extreme Engineering heat treats the hammer to 50–54 Rockwell C and designs it to fit Colt, Kimber, Springfield, STI, SV, Para, and Springfield Prodigy pistols.
Tactical Precision Sear
Extreme Engineering machines this sear from the same aerospace‑grade alloy used in its premium hammers. It heat treats the sear to 44–46 Rockwell C to support light trigger pull stability, prevent follow‑down, and maintain long‑term geometry. Consequently, it performs reliably in competition pistols nationwide.
National Match Disconnector
This lightweight disconnector improves reset consistency and enhances high‑speed cycling reliability. Therefore, it performs smoothly during rapid double‑taps and extended firing strings.
Thunder Mountain Custom Standard Sear Spring
This exclusive spring delivers a crisp break, stable light pull weights, and a smooth trigger feel. Because it outperforms standard factory sear springs, it significantly improves overall trigger consistency.
Wolff Precision Mainspring
Choose a 15 lb, 17 lb, or 19 lb mainspring to balance trigger feel and ignition reliability. Wolff Precision GunSprings provide consistent performance and long service life, making them an industry standard.
Compatibility
The Patriot Ignition Kit fits 1911 and 2011 platforms from Springfield, Colt, Kimber, STI, SV, Para, and Springfield Prodigy, as well as custom 1911 and 2011 builds.
Important Fitment Notes
Some pistols require thumb safety fitting. Additionally, certain setups require a new thumb safety for proper sear engagement. Therefore, a qualified pistol smith should perform minor fitting to achieve optimal performance.
Built for the Serious 1911 and 2011 Owner
If you build or tune a match‑ready pistol, the Extreme Engineering Patriot Ignition Kit delivers faster lock time, a cleaner break, lighter and more stable pull weights, and long‑term consistency. Because it combines aerospace‑grade materials, precision machining, a lifetime warranty, and an exclusive Thunder Mountain Custom sear spring, this kit provides elite‑level fire‑control performance that holds up under hard use.
