The Wilson Combat Commander-Style Hammer in blue (Wilson Combat part no. 299B) brings the shorter, rounded spur profile popularized on the Commander model to a full-size Government-frame 1911. Wilson Combat is one of the most respected names in match-grade 1911 pistolsmithing, and the Commander-style spur is a favorite among shooters who want a lower-profile hammer that’s less likely to bite the web of the hand than a wide standard spur. This unit is machined to fit the Government frame’s fire control geometry, and its blued finish matches most factory-blued Government-frame pistols.

Key Specifications

• Uses the Commander-style spur profile, a shorter, rounded hammer shape that reduces the chance of hammer bite.
• Machined to fit the Government frame’s fire control geometry.
• The blue finish is applied over steel, matching most factory-blued Government-frame pistols.
• As the hammer, it strikes the firing pin to ignite each round, and its profile and weight affect overall trigger pull feel.
• Because it is a Commander-style spur on a Government-size frame, it is a common combination among shooters who want full-size ballistics with a lower-profile hammer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a Commander-style hammer only fit Commander-frame pistols? No, Commander-style refers to the hammer’s spur shape rather than the frame size; this specific part is machined to fit the Government frame’s fire control geometry.

Why choose a Commander-style hammer? Its shorter, rounded spur reduces the chance of hammer bite on the web of the shooting hand compared to a wide standard spur.
