TMC 1911 Trigger – “Short” Flat Ultralight Match – Silver
Premium Short Ultralight Match Trigger for 1911 Pistols
The Thunder Mountain Customs (TMC) Ultralight Match Short Flat 1911 Trigger gives your 1911 a fast, smooth, and highly responsive upgrade. Because TMC uses American-made materials and CNC machining, every trigger delivers exceptional consistency and precision. As a result, you’ll feel a crisp break, quicker follow-up shots, and noticeably better control.
The ultralight 5.5-gram design also reduces reciprocating mass. This improvement increases reset speed and makes each pull feel sharper and more predictable. Whether you’re enhancing a carry pistol or tuning a custom race gun, this short flat trigger offers balanced geometry, smooth movement, and long-term durability.
Why the TMC Ultralight Match 1911 Trigger Excels
Ultralight 1911 Trigger for Faster Shooting
Weighing only 5.5 grams (0.194 oz), this trigger improves timing and rhythm during rapid fire. Additionally, competitive shooters benefit from more consistent shot placement and improved control through faster strings.
CNC-Machined Aluminum Trigger Pad
TMC machines the short flat trigger pad from aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring strength without unnecessary weight. Moreover, the shorter length gives shooters with smaller hands improved ergonomics and a more natural finger position.
“Lite Speed” Stainless-Steel Trigger Bow
The “Lite Speed” bow is fully hardened, polished, and skeletonized. These enhancements reduce bow-to-frame drag and increase responsiveness. Therefore, each pull feels smoother, cleaner, and more consistent.
Professional-Grade 1911 Trigger Engineering
Gunsmiths across the country choose TMC triggers because they hold tight tolerances and tune easily. Furthermore, TMC installs this exact trigger in every custom build, proving its reliability in demanding applications.

This is a really good trigger. Easy to adjust pre and over travel. Fit was perfect. I have large hands and short fingers so now my little Tisas commander 45 fits me better than a glove. I would recommend this trigger and Thunder Mountain to all my friends, great service and products.
