Cylinder & Slide Low Mass Match Hammer Set, 5pc, Commander

The Cylinder & Slide 1911 Low Mass Match Hammer Set for Commander-frame pistols (Cylinder & Slide part no. CS0226) is a complete 5-piece fire control upgrade built around a lightweight hammer to cut lock time and smooth out a competition 1911’s trigger action. Trading a standard-weight hammer for a low-mass design reduces the reciprocating mass the mainspring has to move, letting the hammer fall faster once the sear releases, which is one of the most effective ways to tighten up a match 1911’s overall trigger feel. Because the set includes five matched pieces rather than a single hammer, the fit and geometry between the hammer, strut, and pin are already coordinated, avoiding the trial-and-error of mixing parts from different sources. Cylinder & Slide builds this set specifically for the Commander-length frame, so it is not interchangeable with full-size Government 1911s.
