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 delivers a fast, smooth, and highly responsive upgrade for serious shooters. From the very first pull, this trigger improves control, consistency, and overall shooting confidence. Because TMC machines every component from American‑made materials using precision CNC equipment, each trigger maintains exceptional fit, balance, and repeatability.
As a result, shooters experience a crisp break, a quicker reset, and improved follow‑up shots. Whether you are refining a concealed‑carry pistol or dialing in a full competition build, this short flat trigger provides optimized geometry, smooth travel, and long‑term durability.
Why the TMC Ultralight Match Trigger Stands Apart
Ultralight Design for Faster, More Consistent Shooting
Weighing only 5.5 grams (0.194 oz), this ultralight trigger significantly reduces reciprocating mass. Consequently, reset speed improves and the trigger feels sharper and more predictable during rapid fire. In addition, competitive shooters benefit from better timing, smoother cadence, and tighter shot groups through faster strings.
Because less weight moves inside the frame, the pistol responds more cleanly under recoil. As a result, shooters maintain better control and confidence during high‑speed shooting.
Precision CNC‑Machined Trigger Pad
Short Flat Geometry for Improved Ergonomics
TMC CNC‑machines the short flat trigger pad from aircraft‑grade aluminum, ensuring strength without unnecessary weight. Moreover, the shorter pad length improves ergonomics for shooters with smaller hands while promoting a consistent finger position on every pull.
At the same time, the flat face encourages straight‑back pressure. Therefore, shooters experience a more predictable break and improved trigger control, especially during fast transitions or high‑stress stages.
“Lite Speed” Stainless‑Steel Trigger Bow
Smooth Travel with Reduced Friction
The “Lite Speed” trigger bow features hardened stainless steel construction and extensive skeletonization. Because TMC fully polishes and hardens the bow, it glides smoothly within the frame while minimizing friction and drag.
Furthermore, the reduced mass enhances responsiveness and consistency. As a result, each trigger pull feels cleaner, smoother, and more uniform from shot to shot.
Professional‑Grade Engineering Trusted by Gunsmiths
Proven Performance in Custom 1911 Builds
Gunsmiths nationwide choose TMC triggers because they hold tight tolerances and tune easily. In fact, Thunder Mountain Customs installs this exact trigger in every in‑house custom 1911 build. Consequently, the design has proven itself under demanding competition and duty conditions.
Because of this real‑world validation, shooters can trust the trigger to perform reliably in both carry and match pistols.
Competition‑Ready Trigger Feel
Crisp Break with Predictable Control
The short flat trigger pad creates a light, clean, and competition‑ready pull. Additionally, the crisp break enhances accuracy while boosting shooter confidence. As a result, shooters maintain control during rapid fire, tight stages, and pressure‑filled scenarios.
Anti‑Bounce Skeletonization
Safer Operation with Light Trigger Pulls
TMC removes excess material from the trigger bow to reduce trigger bounce. Consequently, this design protects finely tuned trigger jobs and supports safe, reliable operation—especially when running lighter pull weights in competition setups.
A Versatile 1911 Trigger for Carry or Competition
Tunable Performance for Any Shooting Style
Whether you carry your 1911 daily or compete regularly, the TMC Ultralight Match Short Flat Trigger delivers smooth movement, dependable performance, and long service life. Moreover, a skilled pistolsmith can easily fine‑tune it to match your preferred trigger feel and shooting discipline.

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.
