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.

I use no other, ever. A tiny secondary angle works best.

Replacement of mim parts in my Prodigy with EGW sear and disconnect was a great choice. Vast improvement in the trigger feel.

Outstanding! Cleaned up my trigger break and with the addition of an egw sear spring brought my pull down beautifully.

The EGW "hard sear" that I ordered worked out great. I inspected the contact surfaces for angle and smoothness and it was spot on. I'm doing a 2011 scratch build and have not needed to make any hammer/sear adjustments as of yet....3-lb trigger pull. Can't ask for more than that!
