EGW Lightened 1911 Hammer Blue

Please note:

Coating our hammer with any aftermarket coating will void the warranty.

This 1911 hammer is machined from carbon steel and is heat treated. If you decide to apply an aftermarket coating to the hammer, which will void any warranty, consult your applicator first and make sure that the process is safe for heat treated components. We have found that coatings that require heat can cause brittleness and we have seen examples of hydrogen embrittlement from hard chrome.

Whether you are looking for a replacement hammer or are doing a full custom build from scratch, the EGW 1911 Lightened Hammer Blue is exactly what you need.

After looking into several manufacturing methods, we decided to fully machine our blued 1911 hammers from solid barstock, the method we use for our popular 1911 hard sear, long ball head 1911 disconnector, 1911 slide stops and 1911 thumb safeties. This component is also part of our which are a vast improvement over the factory trigger pull.

The accuracy of the hammer is impressive. Using one hold to machine and ream the holes, mill the profile, cut reliefs and slice the hammer means that all these operations will be within .0005" for a true and square hammer.

The tank treads for cocking serrations look Heavy Duty and are functional without adding stress risers.
The slot through the top adds a distinctive looks and make the hammer lighter.
