1911 Sear FAQ
Why is this sear "shortened"?
This sear is shortened to be a direct, drop-in reliability upgrade, specifically for the Springfield Prodigy. Through extensive testing and customer feedback, we discovered that some Prodigy pistols could experience "hammer follow" when using a standard, full-length sear. Our engineers determined that shortening the sear by a precise .005" completely eliminates this potential issue. This is not just a high-quality part; it's an engineered solution that ensures a safe, reliable trigger job in the Prodigy, while also saving your gunsmith a common step.
Why is gunsmith fitting absolutely required?
The sear and hammer relationship is the heart of the 1911's safety and function. Improper fitting can lead to a dangerously unsafe firearm (such as "hammer follow," where the hammer doesn't stay cocked) or a gun that does not function at all. This is not a drop-in part; it MUST be installed and fitted by a qualified 1911 gunsmith who can properly stone the angles and ensure all safeties are working correctly.
Gunsmith Installation Required For the safety and proper function of your firearm, this sear MUST be installed and fitted by a professional gunsmith.
