The Wilson Combat Sear Spring for the compact Officers 1911 frame is a small three-legged spring that provides tension to the sear, disconnector, and thumb safety plunger inside the fire control group. Wilson Combat is one of the most respected names in match-grade 1911 pistolsmithing, and this spring is a common wear item during a fire control rebuild, since a weak or broken sear spring can cause a light, unpredictable trigger pull or a failure to reset. It is sized for the Officers frame.

Key Specifications

• Sized for the Officers frame, the compact 1911 platform.
• As the sear spring, it provides tension to the sear, disconnector, and thumb safety plunger inside the fire control group.
• A weak or broken sear spring is a common cause of an unpredictable trigger pull or failure to reset.
• The spring’s third leg also tensions the thumb safety plunger, linking trigger feel to safety function in one small part.
• Because all three legs must carry even, matched tension, sear springs are usually replaced as a complete unit rather than repaired.
