EGW® HD Ball Head Long 1911 Disconnector Blue
The EGW® Ball Head Long 1911 Disconnector is the best disconnector for your 1911.
The EGW® Ball Head 1911 Disconnector offers many benefits over their competitor's disconnectors:
- Their disconnector is machined taller so that it doesn't drag on the sear pin - this is important when you are doing trigger work under 2-1/4 lbs. since you can feel the slightest drag.
- They added the ball head to get rid of the "click" usually found on 1911s caused by the head moving back and forth in the frame hole - usually gunsmiths stake the frame hole trying to minimize the play in an attempt to remove this click. The ball head is a better solution to this problem.
- They also altered the geometry of the disconnector so that it is not tripped when inserting a loaded magazine. This could cause an accidental discharge when reloading with a live round in the chamber. This alteration allows for an additional safety upgrade in your 1911.
- The bottom spade incorporates a small .006 corner radius so that the disconnector does not di into the trigger bow and it improves functionality.
EGW® machined the HD 1911 Disconnector in one of their machining centers. They then go off to Vacu-Braze in Trumbauersville, PA for vacuum heat treat, which is less stressful than conventional heat treating. Their disconnectors are then sent to another local company to be black oxide coated.
