1911 BARSTOCK HARDCORE® HAMMER Reviews & Ratings

Machined-from-barstock hammer features a long list of custom modifications for a match-quality trigger pull without a lot of work. Sear hooks are cut to height, then precision surface ground so just a light stoning is all that's necessary to achieve a crisp, clean-breaking trigger pull. Half-cock notch is narrowed to help prevent sear damage and pin holes are CNC-machined for location; lowered strut pin hole reduces full-cock spring pressure. Narrowed spur minimizes slide drag; larger-than-factory, Commander-style opening reduces weight for a fast fall and even faster locktimes. Fully-chamfered edges eliminate sharp points that can abrade clothing and skin. SPECS: 4140 alloy steel, blue, or 420 stainless steel, SS. Rc
52-54, .020'-.022' hook height, Gunsmith installation

Good value!

If your on a budget and want a quality part, this is it. If your looking for more, Id recommend a C&S or a Harrison Design. I rated this 4 stars because it IS a good value and Im not complaining about the end results, -1 for cosmetic and consistency. Thank you Brownells!

Good hammer

I just installed one of these. The hammer is of high quality materials and is finished very well. It is a good looking hammer as well. The hooks were square and cut to exactly .018". The only thing I didn't like about it was that the halfcock notch is NOT national match cut as it appears in the picture. The halfcock notch also sits rather high, so you will not be able to adjust for absolute minimum over-travel without modifying it.

Pretty good part

Excellent quality part. Aesthetically pleasing as well. Machined from bar stock and well finished. All edges are beveled right out of the box. For most users the trigger pull that can be attained with this hammer will be acceptable. For people that want a TRULY creep free trigger pull I would suggest the Wilson Combat Ultralight hammer. Be aware though that the Wilson will require some work to bevel all of the edges. To recap - The Ed Brown Hardcore hammer is a nicely finished part that will more than likely suit the needs of most shooters.
