TMC Oversized Hammer/Sear Pin Set – Stainless Steel
The TMC Oversized Hammer/Sear Pin Set gives 1911 builders a precise, effective way to tighten and stabilize critical fire‑control components. Instead of relying on undersized factory pins, this set allows you to fit the hammer and sear to the maximum allowable diameter. As a result, rotation becomes smoother, wear is minimized, and the trigger pull feels noticeably cleaner, crisper, and more consistent.
When pins fit loosely, parts inevitably shift under recoil. Consequently, friction increases, engagement surfaces wear faster, and trigger feel degrades over time. However, this oversized pin set directly solves that problem by creating stable, properly aligned pivot points. Therefore, the fire‑control system remains secure, and the trigger maintains a smooth, predictable break shot after shot.
Built for Maximum Legal Diameter
Precision Oversize Dimensions for a Tighter Fit
To begin with, TMC machines each pin to the largest diameter allowed by the 1911 print while still remaining within safe, functional specifications. Because of this careful approach, you achieve the tightest possible fit without compromising reliability.
-
Hammer pin: .157″
-
Sear pin: .110″
-
Barrel link pin: .154–.156″
As a result, these oversized dimensions improve both mechanical function and long‑term durability. In some cases, light reaming of the frame or components may be required to achieve proper fitment. Nevertheless, the payoff is a far more stable and precise fire‑control system.
Precision Stainless Steel Construction
Strength, Smoothness, and Corrosion Resistance
From the start, TMC manufactures every pin from high‑quality stainless steel. After machining, each pin undergoes heat treatment to increase structural strength. Then, TMC precision‑grinds the surface to promote smooth, consistent rotation. Finally, each pin receives a corrosion‑resistant finish.
Because of this multi‑step process, the pins deliver consistent engagement, reduced friction, and dependable performance. Even under heavy use, they maintain proper fit and function, ensuring long‑term reliability.
Why Oversized Pins Improve Trigger Performance
Stability Creates Consistency
Loose or worn pins allow unwanted flex and drag within the trigger system. Over time, that movement leads to inconsistent trigger breaks and accelerated wear on both the hammer and sear. Eventually, even a well‑executed trigger job can lose its crisp feel.
By contrast, oversized hammer and sear pins hold components in precise alignment. Consequently, pivot motion becomes smoother, wear is reduced, and the trigger pull remains stable and predictable. Most importantly, this pin set helps preserve the quality of the trigger work you invested in.
