Nighthawk Custom 1911 Drop-In Trigger System (DTS) - Black

When looking for a 1911 trigger upgrade for your pistol, a common improvement sought by shooters is a trigger job with a crisp, clean break. Until now, a high-quality trigger job has never been in the realm of a “drop-in” upgrade. Nighthawk Custom has changed that with the introduction of their Drop-In Trigger System (DTS) for 1911 pistols.

An all-in-one unit, the DTS replaces your existing hammer, hammer strut, sear, disconnector, and sear spring. Your existing sear pin and hammer pin will be retained for use with the DTS, but no other parts are necessary for installation. With a steel housing securing the unit, the DTS features all Fully Machined™ internal components. The traditional three-pronged sear spring is no longer necessary as the springs for the disconnector and sear are built into the unit. A single-leg grip safety spring is included with the DTS to replace the existing sear spring.

Never has a high-quality trigger job been this simple for 1911 shooters. The Drop-In Trigger System is designed for use in most 1911 models, and installation is simple enough that minimal gunsmithing skills are necessary. With a proper safety check and minor gunsmithing skills, their Drop-In Trigger System can give your current 1911 a high-quality trigger job in the time it takes for a routine cleaning of your pistol. Available with stainless or black nitride hammer.

They designed the Drop-In Trigger System to be approximately 3.75-4 lb trigger pull in most applications after the proper break-in period.

The Benefits of The Nighthawk Custom Drop-In Trigger System:

• Safe and Reliable
• All internal components are Fully Machined.
• Offers parallel alignment between the sear and hammer.
  • Many stock frames have sear and hammer pin holes that are oversized or not parallel.
  • This causes inconsistent results when installing traditional hammers and sears.
• Since the unit is self-contained, the DTS is in control of the critical hammer/sear pivot pin placements and diameters.
• Because Nighthawk is in control of these dimensions, the manufacturer of the frame becomes less of a variable for consistent trigger work.
• Works with 1911 models in Series 70, Series 80, and Swartz Style, as well as 2011 models.
• No bending or tweaking of sear spring legs is necessary to try to tune the pull weight.
• You get a clean and crisp trigger pull.
  • Most other trigger kits will have built-in creep due to accommodation of frame manufacturing tolerances.
• Weight: 1 oz
