EGW HD Lightened Hammer, Stainless Steel

The EGW HD Lightened Hammer is a 1911 hammer from EGW (brand part no. 10202.SS) machined to reduce reciprocating mass compared to a stock hammer. A lighter hammer falls faster once released by the sear, shortening lock time (the delay between trigger break and primer strike), and it is machined from stainless steel for corrosion resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a lightened hammer improve? Reducing hammer mass shortens lock time (the delay between trigger break and primer strike), which some shooters pursue for a crisper-feeling trigger.

Can I install this myself? A 1911 hammer interacts closely with the sear and trigger, so fitting one is a gunsmithing task and should be done by someone experienced with 1911 trigger jobs.
