EGW 1911 Officers X-Long Stainless Hammer Strut

This X-Long Hammer Strut from EGW is a stainless steel fire control part for the subcompact 1911 Officer’s-size frame. The hammer strut pins the hammer to the mainspring, transmitting the spring’s stored energy to cock and drop the hammer; the extra-long version is cut for use with certain aftermarket mainspring housings that sit lower than the factory housing.
