TMC 1911 Trigger – Ultralight Match Trigger
Solid Short Flat Trigger – Black
Premium Short Flat 1911 Trigger for Faster, Cleaner, More Controlled Shooting
The Thunder Mountain Customs (TMC) Ultralight Match Trigger Solid Short Flat delivers a fast, controlled, and confidence‑inspiring upgrade for serious shooters. Rather than relying on heavier factory components, this precision‑engineered trigger provides smoother movement, a crisper break, and noticeably improved control.
Because TMC machines every component from American‑made materials using advanced CNC equipment, this trigger maintains consistent tolerances and dependable performance. As a result, it stands up to hard training, competitive use, and daily carry without sacrificing feel or reliability.
Ultralight Performance with Solid Stability
Faster Reset Without Compromising Strength
Although extremely light, the solid short design remains rigid and stable. Weighing just 5.5 grams (0.194 oz), the trigger reduces reciprocating mass inside the frame. Consequently, reset speed improves and the pistol feels quicker and more responsive during rapid fire.
At the same time, the solid pad construction provides a firm, consistent contact surface. Therefore, shooters experience predictable feedback and enhanced control through every trigger press.
CNC‑Machined Aluminum Trigger Pad
Short Flat Geometry for Consistent Finger Placement
TMC CNC‑machines the solid short flat trigger pad from aircraft‑grade aluminum. This approach keeps weight low while maintaining excellent durability. Moreover, the shorter pad length benefits shooters who prefer reduced reach or have smaller hands.
Because of its flat face, the trigger encourages straight‑back pressure. As a result, shooters achieve a cleaner break, improved consistency, and better shot‑to‑shot control—especially during fast transitions.
“Lite Speed” Stainless‑Steel Trigger Bow
Smooth Travel with Reduced Drag
The “Lite Speed” trigger bow features hardened stainless‑steel construction with precision polishing and skeletonization. These refinements reduce friction between the bow and frame, allowing the trigger to move smoothly and efficiently.
Consequently, each pull feels cleaner, lighter, and more predictable. Over time, this reduced drag also helps minimize wear on internal components.
Professional‑Grade Engineering Trusted by Pistolsmiths
Proven in Custom TMC 1911 Builds
Pistolsmiths across the country rely on TMC triggers because they maintain tight tolerances and predictable fitment. In fact, Thunder Mountain Customs installs this same trigger in every in‑house custom 1911 build.
Because of this real‑world validation, shooters can trust the trigger to perform reliably in both competition and defensive pistols.
Competition‑Ready Trigger Feel
Crisp Break with Improved Control
The solid short flat pad produces a crisp, light, and repeatable trigger pull. Additionally, the refined geometry reduces bounce and enhances stability. As a result, shooters gain accuracy and confidence—especially when shooting under pressure or at speed.
Furthermore, consistent finger placement promotes better shooting mechanics and more stable recoil management.
Anti‑Bounce Skeletonization
Safer Operation with Light Trigger Pulls
TMC’s skeletonization strategy minimizes trigger bounce without compromising strength. Consequently, this design protects finely tuned trigger jobs and supports safer operation, particularly in pistols set up with lighter pull weights.
A Versatile 1911 Trigger for Carry or Competition
Tunable Performance for Any Shooting Style
Whether you compete regularly, carry daily, or simply want to elevate your 1911’s performance, the TMC Ultralight Match Solid Short Flat Trigger delivers smooth movement, long service life, and dependable results. Moreover, skilled pistolsmiths can fine‑tune it to match your exact preferences, creating a truly personalized trigger feel.

This is a very good trigger. Fit and finish are excellent. Easy to adjust pre and over travel. If you have large hands and short fingers like I do, this trigger will make your pistol fit you hand better than any glove you can find. Great company selling great products, can’t ask for more. I recommend Thunder Mountain wholeheartedly.
