WILSON COMBAT - Value Hammer

The sear I had in my 1911 was filed too short and the gun would sometimes either have a slam fire or it would go fully automatic which was not safe or legal. I put the sear in the gun as is without filing down the sear, making no adjustments. I tested the gun, without actually firing it yet, by locking the slide back then pressing the slide release down, letting the slide close with the tension of the recoil spring. The hammer did not follow the slide when it closed and the hammer stayed in the fully cocked position. I then went to the range for live fire experimentation. I fired 50 rounds without a slam fire or the gun going full auto on me. The gun is now safe to fire and has a 3.5 lb. trigger pull. Replacing just the sear corrected the problem.

Excellent product, even from the Value line. Truly a drop-in, no modification required from my part. Smooth operations with the rest of the action and frame. Remember you will reuse your old hammer pin, hammer strut and hammer strut pin. The design allows for positive thumb engagement when cocking, holding and decocking the hammer.

This sear, in conjunction with the beaver tail and thus mandatory shortened hammer, not only makes handling my RIA M1911 A1 GI FS more comfortable, but also gave my pistol an instant trigger job. The factory trigger was actually very good. It had very little take-up, with very little over-travel. This hammer/sear combo, somehow geometrically moved my trigger-pull "rearwards", to where there is slightly more take-up, but now there is barely any noticeable over-travel. No screw needed! Also, the reset is miniscule, making for a very fast firing 1911! And all done at home easily! I had to grind my manual thumb safety :(
