Ultra-Hard, Machined Tool Steel Sear For Long-Lasting Match-Quality Triggers

Ultra-hard sear gives a clean-breaking, light-feeling trigger pull with little or no time-consuming stoning—can be installed straight out of the package in many cases. Precision CNC-machined from tool steel barstock, then ground for precise geometry to ensure correct sear angle for full hammer/sear engagement. Hardened to Rc 55 for exceptionally long life, so your trigger job lasts longer.

SPECS: Machined tool steel, in-the-white. Fits 1911 Auto only.

Great Product (18/04/2011)

I installed an EGW sear in my 1911 Springfield Armory project gun and I couldn't be happier with the result. I bought the sear along with the Brownells sear jig and an extra-fine stone.
After stoning in the jig and cutting the relief angle, the sear installed in a snap, passed function testing, and fired 150 rounds...superb performance! Used with a Wilson ultra-light hammer with hooks @ 0.20.

EGW 1911 Auto Sear (11/08/2011)

EGW is the best 1911 sear you can use. Fully manufactured in house and hardened to a point that will outlast the gun itself, takes a honed edge and holds it. A must have in any 1911.

EGW Sear (12/10/2011)

The best sear to ever hit the market. As with all EGW products they do it right the first time and offer only one grade product at a very reasonable price. Not three sears and hammers like the big name smiths with economy, mid range and pre bullet proof or hard core as these are the best. Perfect hardness and hold an edge for the life of the gun and the next one to follow with 100000s rounds +. Can be used with no relief and short hooks or a relief angle and a well tuned matching EGW hammer for the best of the best combination.

Best sear on the market (26/01/2012)

I've used various sears, but this one is the best. It is not the lightest, but it is the hardest. This one will last forever. I recommend this sear for any trigger weight down to about 2 lbs., so this is the one for you probably 99% of the time.

Highly Advise, excellent sear! (24/05/2012)

Nice sear required very little stoning to get it into shape. Thumb safety operation ok after installing this sear into pistol.

This product delivers. (16/08/2012)

I bought this sear based on the feedback I read. Everything was true. This is a quality part. Perfect dimensions, The breakaway angle is already cut, the contact face is polished and super hard. I matched this up with my favorite hammer, Wilson's Ultra Light Match Hammer at 20/1000ths. I easily got a safe, 2 1/2 lb. trigger on my Springfield TRP. Impressive product from EGW.

Excellent Sear (13/04/2013)

Replaced my factory Colt XSE with this sear and the results are amazing. This sear came polished with the correct angles and NO work to be done. My trigger pull fell to 3.5 lbs. In addition you get the very hard steel that will last many years and not lose its sear angles.
Thumb safety fit back in perfect with no adjustment needed.
Great Sear, I highly recommend it!

Nothing better... (16/06/2013)

Title says it all. Perfect consistency in finish and dimension means I can count on the EGW sear to fit exactly how I expect it to, without even having it in my hands. More than long enough to use with a TR sear jig if you choose.
Had the hardness independently checked... and it's spot on. I keep 3-4 on hand at all times... and if I measured the nose length on all 4, I doubt they'd be more than .0002" of each other in variance. Iv'e actually been using these for over 15 years, just got around to reviewing. Perfect compliment to the ball head disco.

This is THE ONE !! (25/01/2014)

IF you have no apptitude for polishing sear angles (like me)this sear is as good as it gets. I tried using an STI but the safety pad was WAY too big and I got sear bounce. The EGW dropped right in and coupled with a Colt sear spring got me a clean 3lb trigger on my SA Loaded.Best 1911 part I've ever bought,period.

The Industry's Finest Sear! (10/07/2015)

My business specializes in repair, customization and custom builds of 1911s. The geometry, fit and function of this Sear is superior to all others on the market, and I've tried them all! As stated earlier in another write up, best results will be obtained with mating to either an EGW Hammer, or to another parts manufacturer's 1911 Hammer, which uses the same dimensional geometry as EGW's (Hint: Their name begins with the letter "A"). The EGW Sear's heat treating and finish is without peer!! An extraordinary value!!

Quality sear (04/08/2015)

The stock trigger pull on my Ruger CMD was about 5.5lbs with some creep and grittiness. The EGW sear dropped in with no fitting and combined with a 19lb mainspring and a Colt sear spring I have a clean break with zero creep and its much lighter. I'm buying another to install in my Springfield.

Drop in, no smithing, much smoother pull (19/11/2015)

Remington 1911 R1. Stock trigger had a rough pull. Before buying the full trigger job kit, I wanted to try a simpler solution. The EGW sear dropped right in and made a major improvement. Zero smithing required.

On a side note, I also tried installing the series 80 to 70 conversion. That didn't do it, but the new sear did.

EGW they mean what they say (13/08/2017)

I look at what's out there and with out mentioning any names its not so much the product as the customer service, and I understand that people are very busy in their smithing and machining work that there is little time for chet chat but when I ever needed advice on a product or have a problem and leave a message they always come back with an answer ready to help, yup EGW they get the job done, thanks EGW.

Very nice 1911 sear (26/08/2018)

This is a very nice and tough sear. Out of the bag, it requires virtually zero stoning, or other fitting. I've used this in a re-build, with new trigger, disconnect, hammer and sear spring, and it really makes the trigger just right. No slop, no creep, nice clean break. Hope that info helps!
