The secret to a competition-winning trigger is unparalleled precision. Here’s why EGW's lightened hammer is the superior choice:
✔ Unmatched Machining Accuracy: They use a single machine hold to drill and ream the holes, mill the profile, and cut all reliefs. This process ensures all operations are held within .0005", resulting in a truly square and precise hammer for a flawless trigger job.
✔ Faster Lock Time: The distinctive slot and skeletonized design reduce the hammer's weight to just 10.7 grams (165 grains). This lower mass allows the hammer to fall faster, reducing lock time—a measurable advantage in precision shooting.
✔ Machined from Solid Tool Steel: They don't use MIM parts for critical components. Their hammers are CNC-machined from solid American tool steel and heat-treated for exceptional durability, ensuring the hammer hooks will not chip or wear.
✔ Functional "Tank Tread" Serrations: The unique cocking serrations offer a positive, non-slip surface for manual cocking without creating the stress risers found in traditional checkering.
