1911 Hammer Strut FAQ
What does a hammer strut do?
The hammer strut is a small but critical part that connects the hammer to the mainspring (or hammer spring) located in the mainspring housing. When the hammer is cocked, the strut pivots and compresses the mainspring, storing the energy needed to drive the hammer forward with force when the sear releases it.
Is gunsmith installation required?
While this is a drop-in part for most in-spec 1911s, working on the fire control group requires a thorough understanding of the 1911 platform. For the safety and proper function of your firearm, we strongly recommend having this part installed by a qualified and professional gunsmith.
