Ed Brown Barstock Hammer W/ Chamfered Edges - Blue

The Ed Brown Barstock Hammer with Chamfered Edges in blue is a precision trigger component built for shooters who want a crisp, match-quality trigger pull without extensive fitting work. Machined from solid barstock rather than stamped, this hammer incorporates a series of refinements that come standard on custom 1911s but rarely on factory parts—sear hooks cut to height and precision surface ground, a narrowed half-cock notch to reduce wear on the sear, and CNC-machined pin holes for exact location. Whether you're building a competitive 1911, upgrading a carry gun, or fine-tuning a range toy, this hammer delivers the geometry needed for a clean break with minimal hand-stoning.

The design details matter. A lowered strut pin hole reduces the spring pressure at full cock, which lightens trigger effort and contributes to faster lock time. The narrowed spur minimizes drag on the slide during cycling, and a Commander-style opening—larger than factory spec—reduces overall hammer weight for a snappier fall and quicker ignition. All edges are fully chamfered to eliminate the sharp corners that can snag clothing, skin, or a holster, a small feature that makes a real difference in daily carry or repetitive range sessions.

Finished in blue, this hammer integrates into the visual profile of a blued 1911 frame and slide. It's purpose-built for shooters who understand that trigger control starts with reliable, repeatable hammer function—and Ed Brown's barstock forging and CNC machining mean you're starting with parts that are already halfway to match quality before you touch a stone to them.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What 1911 models does this hammer fit?

This hammer is designed for standard 1911 platforms. Verify fit with your specific frame and slide before installation, as some custom or non-standard builds may require additional fitting.

How much trigger work is needed after installation?

The sear hooks are pre-cut to height and surface ground, so only light hand-stoning is typically necessary to achieve a clean trigger break. This saves significant fitting time compared to factory or rough-machined hammers.

Will this hammer reduce trigger weight?

The lowered strut pin hole reduces spring pressure at full cock, which contributes to a lighter trigger feel. Exact trigger weight depends on your sear geometry, springs, and overall setup.

Is this hammer suitable for a carry gun or range-only use?

The fully chamfered edges and narrowed spur are designed to work well in carry applications, reducing snag points on clothing and holsters. It's equally suitable for competitive shooting, range work, or carry duty.
