The EGW 1911 Long Sear is a trigger-group part from EGW (brand part no. 10042) that holds the hammer cocked until the trigger is pressed and releases it. A long sear is commonly fitted alongside a matching long trigger and hammer combination by a gunsmith to tune trigger reset and pull feel on a 1911.

Key Specifications

• It is a sear, the trigger-group part that holds the hammer cocked until the trigger releases it.
• It is a long-pattern sear, commonly fitted with a matching long trigger/hammer set.
• Sear geometry is not caliber-specific, so it fits across standard 1911 chamberings once properly fitted.
• It is intended for gunsmith fitting as part of a trigger-job, not a blind drop-in swap.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a sear do? It holds the hammer cocked in the trigger group until the trigger is pressed, at which point it releases the hammer to fire.

Can I install this myself? 1911 sears interact closely with the hammer and trigger geometry, so fitting one is a gunsmithing task best left to someone experienced with 1911 trigger jobs rather than a blind drop-in swap.
