Great upgrade

Bought this to swap the stock hammer on Taurus PT1911 commander along with many other WC parts. Wonderful upgrade and looks great also.

Excellent Buy

Excellent Excellent buy. Just drop-in with with the Wilson Bullet proof sear and the trigger breaks at 5 pounds from 7.

WC ultralight hammer

This is the second one I bought. Installed it in my Colt Combat Elite with a WC bulletproof sear, it added 1/4 to a 3.5 Lb trigger pull, but it is super crisp so you don't feel it. Swapped it out to my Kimber Super match 45. Consistent and crisp pull at 3.5LBs, better feel than my Colt. Swapped it on to my Kimber Team Match 9mm, somehow, trigger pull is 4 LBs but had a very very slight drag when the trigger is pulled slowly. I recommend this product. By the way, no polishing of any sort was done to the sear or hammer.

remington r1

no problems installing on remington 1911 r1. used with wilson bulletproof a2 sear and bulletproof sear spring, drop-in beavertail and comp match trigger. awesome setup, works perfect

Excellent product

Purchased this hammer for a para p14 project. This hammer worked perfectly with the Wilson sear purchased at the same time. No creep, clean break. It doesnt get any better.

Ultra smooth trigger pull!

I agree with the other post, when you team this hammer up with the Wilson A2 sear, your gun with function ultra smooth! Made a considerable difference in my gun! Spend the extra money on barstock, and buy this hammer!
