TMC 1911 Trigger – Ultralight Match Three Window – Black – Curved
Premium Three Window 1911 Trigger for Faster, Cleaner, More Controlled Shooting
The Thunder Mountain Customs (TMC) Ultralight Match Three Window 1911 Trigger gives your pistol a fast and responsive upgrade. Instead of relying on heavier factory components, this precision-built trigger offers smoother movement, a crisper break, and noticeably better control. Because TMC builds every part using CNC machining and American-made materials, you get dependable performance that holds up through training, competition, and daily carry.
Although extremely light, the design remains strong and stable. The 5.5-gram weight reduces reciprocating mass and sharpens reset speed, which makes the pistol feel quicker and easier to run. Whether you’re refining a trusted 1911 or building a custom project from the ground up, this trigger provides consistent geometry, clean operation, and long-term durability.
Why the TMC Ultralight Match Short 1911 Trigger Stands Out
Ultralight Design for Faster Follow-Up Shots
At just 5.5 grams (0.194 oz), this short flat trigger improves rhythm and timing during rapid fire. As a result, shooters experience more stable shot-to-shot control and a more responsive feel.
CNC-Machined Aluminum Trigger Pad
The Three Window pad is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum to keep weight low without sacrificing strength. Additionally, gunsmiths can shape and tune it easily to fit any 1911 frame style.
“Lite Speed” Stainless-Steel Trigger Bow
The hardened stainless-steel bow receives full polishing and skeletonizing. These steps reduce friction and increase responsiveness. Therefore, the trigger pull feels cleaner, smoother, and more predictable.
Professional-Grade Engineering
Pistolsmiths across the country trust TMC triggers because they maintain consistent tolerances and predictable fitment. Furthermore, every TMC custom 1911 build uses this same trigger due to its reliability and tuning potential.

Competition-Ready 1911 Trigger Feel
The Three Window pad gives shooters a crisp, light, and predictable pull. Additionally, the improved break and reduced bounce help increase accuracy and confidence, especially under pressure. The trigger geometry also supports a more consistent finger placement, which leads to more stable shooting mechanics.
Anti-Bounce Skeletonization for Safer Performance
The refined skeletonizing helps eliminate trigger bounce. This added stability protects fine trigger tuning—especially in custom pistols running lighter pull weights—and supports safer operation in competition or defensive setups.

This really is the trigger ive been looking for. It was a drop in. No fitting required. My biggest complaint with skeletonized triggers is many have only pretravel tabs up front and nothing below it to support it in the frame. But the part is extremely well made and does not bend easy. I did bend the shoe down slightly which tightened up the vertical play but it still functions and works perfectly.
In some cases you will need to fit the trigger shoe. In some cases like my gun its a looser fit. But can and does work flawlessly with a little tweaking. But in my case, I really am trying to make a low cost 1911 into a higher end build. So I was really pleased that this dropped right in for me. But even if you have to fit it? Its a beautiful trigger that is extremely well made and is comfortable and really lets you dial it in exactly the way you want it.

I just finished a Rock Island 1911 rebuild. I didn’t have one of your triggers on hand, so I tried a Les Baer trigger I did have. The Les Baer is OK, but not nearly as smooth as your triggers. So I ordered two. One for the rebuild and one to have on hand!
