What Sets EGW Disconnectors Apart From the Competition?
No Pin Drag: We intentionally leave our disconnector long so that it remains completely below the sear pin. Because of this extra geometry, it will not drag across the sear pin during the cycling process, creating an unhindered movement.
Anti-Catch Relieved Corner: The lower bottom corner of our disconnector features a specialized relief cut. This crucial design enhancement prevents the top round in the magazine from catching on the disconnector during high-speed reloads, ensuring smoother magazine seating and feeding.
The EGW Solution for Your Custom Trigger Job
The secret to a world-class trigger is using parts that are dimensionally perfect and machined from premium materials. Here’s why our heavy-duty disconnector is the superior choice for custom gunsmithing:
Ball Head for a Smoother Pull – The unique ball head design creates a single, low-friction point of contact with the sear spring, eliminating the gritty, dragging feel of a flat-faced disconnector. The result is a noticeably smoother and lighter trigger pull.
Extra Material for a Flawless Fit – By leaving this part intentionally long, a professional gunsmith has the maximum amount of material to work with. This allows for ultra-precise fitting to achieve the perfect trigger reset without any slop or play.
Machined from Solid Tool Steel – We don't use MIM (Metal Injection Molded) parts for critical fire control components. Our disconnectors are CNC-machined from solid American tool steel and heat-treated for exceptional, long-term durability.
Proudly Made in the USA – Every single disconnector is manufactured right here in our Quakertown, PA facility.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a disconnector do in a 1911?The disconnector has two primary jobs: it acts as a "connector" between the trigger and the sear to fire the gun, and it "disconnects" the trigger from the sear when the slide is out of battery, preventing the gun from firing. It is also responsible for resetting the trigger after each shot. The precise length of the disconnector is critical for a safe and reliable trigger reset.
Why is gunsmith fitting absolutely required?This part is specifically engineered for professional use. An improperly fitted disconnector can cause a range of dangerous malfunctions, from the trigger failing to reset to the gun firing out of battery. This is not a drop-in part; it MUST be installed and fitted by a qualified 1911 gunsmith who can precisely trim it to length for your specific firearm.
CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING: WE RECOMMEND THIS BE INSTALLED AND FITTED BY A QUALIFIED AND COMPETENT 1911 GUNSMITH.

It works flawlessly. No extra work needed to fit in. Every dimension is in spec just like most EGW parts I bought in the past.

This is a very high quality designed, machined and finished part. The first stage of my trigger, the leaf spring that mates with the disconnector, of my 1911 BE gun has had a stick/slip drag feel to it for a few years now of which I could not polish out. I read the product details of this disconnector and it had not occurred to me that the disconnector could be riding or dragging on the sear pin when the trigger was moving to the rear. I purchased this and replaced the old disconnector with no other modifications and can truly say that all stick/slip drag is gone and that disconnector worked in my 1911. Disconnector drag on the sear pin is real and can be eliminated wit this part.

SAME AS THEIR SEAR.....THE VERY BEST PART AVAILABLE & ABSOLUTELY NONE ANY BETTER !!!!!!! GIVE ALL THE CONTACT SURFACES A NICE POLISH WITH RED CROCUS CLOTH & STOP @ 1500 GR. THEN POWER BUFF WITH A DREMEL TOOL, HARD FELT POLISHING BOB, & A DAB OF FLITZ METAL POLISH, FOR A REAL "EYE-POPPING" SHINE. SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT 99% OF ALL THE 1911 "PISTOLEROS" WILL EVER WEAR THIS ONE OUT....SEMPER FIDELIS & OORAH !!!!!!

Like all EGW products the Disconnector I needed was perfect. I have two slides for my 1911 Bullseye frame. One slide worked perfectly with the disconnector that came with it. The other slide would not allow the hammer to stay locked back after recoil. The scallop for it was .008" deeper. The EGW part, being correctly machined, worked perfectly with both slides and all is good with the world. Thanks Guys!
