EGW Lightened Hammer, Commander

The EGW Lightened Hammer (EGW part no. 10202) is a Commander-pattern hammer built with material cut away to reduce reciprocating mass compared to a standard factory 1911 hammer. EGW machines the hammer to drop lock time and lighten the load the mainspring has to manage, which many competitive shooters and 1911 builders look for in a tuned trigger system. A lighter hammer also reduces the chance of hammer-follow issues that can show up with a lightened mainspring. It is a genuine performance part for Commander-pattern 1911 owners building out a tuned action.
