The EGW Solution for Your 1911 Trigger
The secret to a world-class trigger is using parts that are dimensionally perfect and made from the right materials. Here’s why our sear is the superior choice:
Drop-In Ready Engagement Surface: Our sear's engagement surface is precision-ground to spec, providing a crisp, clean trigger break right out of the package for most in-spec 1911s. It's a significant upgrade over gritty, factory MIM parts.
Machined from Solid Tool Steel: We don't use MIM parts for critical components. Our sears are CNC-machined from solid American tool steel and heat-treated for exceptional durability, ensuring the engagement surface will not wear or chip.
Gunsmith-Ready for Custom Work: While offering drop-in potential, our sear is made with enough material for a professional gunsmith to perform a custom trigger job, stoning the perfect angles for a truly world-class feel.
Proudly Made in the USA: Every component is manufactured in our Quakertown, PA facility and is backed by a lifetime of service.
1911 Sear FAQ
Is gunsmith installation required?
For many in-spec 1911 and 2011 pistols, our Hard Sear offers a significant drop-in improvement over factory MIM parts. However, due to the critical nature of the sear/hammer relationship and manufacturing tolerances between firearms, we strongly recommend professional installation by a qualified gunsmith. A gunsmith can verify proper engagement, ensure all safeties function correctly, and get the absolute best performance from the part.
Gunsmith Installation Recommended
For the safety and optimal performance of your firearm, we strongly recommend having this sear installed by a professional gunsmith.

After only a few thousand rounds on my SIG 1911 the hammer started to fall to half-cock. (MIM parts, eyeroll) I replaced the Hammer, Sear, Disconnector with EGW machined steel parts. Having installed Chip McCormick, Wilson, Ed Brown, and other parts sets before, I had expected to do some fitting. Nope! 4 pounds, 9 ounces, crisp! The parts set was a great price, and drop in ready, at least for my 1911.

Replaced just the sear and disconnector in a Romulus when I replaced grip module and trigger. All things combined made for a nice 2.5 lbs trigger. Very clean and crisp.

Hard sear is awesome, mates with the lightened stainless hammer perfectly. Replaced all the MIM ignition parts out of my Kimber with EGW.

Easy install. Perfect fit with no fitting. Trigger pull gauge said 4.25 lbs, but it felt much lighter.
