Why Choose the EGW Evolved Sear Spring
Standard sear springs often fail to seat properly in out-of-spec frames, leading to inconsistent trigger pull or safety issues. The EGW Evolved design solves these pain points with targeted modifications that reduce weight where it matters most and extend critical contact points. The result is a lighter, more responsive trigger without compromising safety or longevity. Whether you’re building a competition pistol or refreshing a carry gun, this 2-pack provides value and peace of mind.
Common Applications
Ideal for custom 1911 builds, trigger jobs, and replacement in factory pistols experiencing sear spring fitment problems. Pairs excellently with EGW hard sears and hammers for a complete ignition system upgrade.
