Atlas Gunworks 1911 Flat X-Line Trigger System Short- Silver

The Atlas Gunworks 1911 Flat X-Line Trigger System Short is a precision drop-in trigger built for shooters who demand a customizable, responsive trigger pull on their 1911 platform pistol. Unlike fixed aftermarket triggers, the X-Line lets you dial in the exact trigger length and pull characteristics that work best for your hand and shooting style — a significant advantage whether you're tuning a carry gun, competition rig, or range shooter's favorite 1911. The flat trigger face delivers a consistent contact point and the adjustable design means you're not locked into one setup.

What sets this trigger apart is the threaded trigger shoe attachment system. Rather than being permanently fixed, the shoe threads onto the trigger plate, allowing you to reduce or increase trigger reach by simply adjusting the shoe position. Pre-travel adjustment tabs give you control over slack before the hammer breaks, and a self-locking overtravel screw prevents creep after the shot breaks. The milled aluminum construction and silver finish are built to withstand regular use while looking clean in the frame.

The short length designation means this trigger is sized for shooters who prefer a more compact reach — closer to the trigger guard — which can improve control for smaller hands or those running a shorter grip. Comes complete with the milled aluminum trigger shoe and an Allen key for making your adjustments, so you can start fine-tuning the moment it arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this trigger fit my 1911 pistol?

The Atlas Gunworks X-Line Trigger System is designed specifically for 1911 platform pistols. Confirm your 1911 model is compatible with aftermarket triggers before ordering.

Can I adjust the trigger pull weight with this trigger system?

The X-Line offers pre-travel and overtravel adjustment using the included tabs and self-locking screw. The primary adjustment feature is trigger length, controlled by the threaded shoe. For pull weight tuning beyond overtravel, additional springs or professional gunsmithing may be required.

What's the difference between the short length and other sizes?

The short length provides a reduced trigger reach — the distance from the trigger guard to the shoe is shorter than standard or long variants. This helps shooters with smaller hands or those seeking a more compact, closer contact point for better control.

What tools do I need to install and adjust this trigger?

An Allen key is included with the trigger for making adjustments. Installation may require standard 1911 trigger group tools and gunsmithing knowledge; if you're not experienced with 1911 work, professional installation is recommended.
