The EGW Solution for Your Custom Trigger Job

The secret to a world-class trigger is using parts that are dimensionally perfect and machined from premium materials. Here’s why our heavy-duty disconnector is the superior choice for custom gunsmithing:

• ✔ Ball Head for a Smoother Pull – The unique ball head design creates a single, low-friction point of contact with the sear spring, eliminating the gritty, dragging feel of a flat-faced disconnector. The result is a noticeably smoother and lighter trigger pull.
• ✔ Extra Material for a Flawless Fit – By leaving this part intentionally long, a professional gunsmith has the maximum amount of material to work with. This allows for ultra-precise fitting to achieve the perfect trigger reset without any slop or play.
• ✔ Machined from Solid Tool Steel – We don't use MIM (Metal Injection Molded) parts for critical fire control components. Our disconnectors are CNC-machined from solid American tool steel and heat-treated for exceptional, long-term durability.
• ✔ Proudly Made in the USA – Every single disconnector is manufactured right here in our Quakertown, PA facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a disconnector do in a 1911?
The disconnector has two primary jobs: it acts as a "connector" between the trigger and the sear to fire the gun, and it "disconnects" the trigger from the sear when the slide is out of battery, preventing the gun from firing. It is also responsible for resetting the trigger after each shot. The precise length of the disconnector is critical for a safe and reliable trigger reset.

Why is gunsmith fitting absolutely required?
This part is specifically engineered for professional use. An improperly fitted disconnector can cause a range of dangerous malfunctions, from the trigger failing to reset to the gun firing out of battery. This is not a drop-in part; it MUST be installed and fitted by a qualified 1911 gunsmith who can precisely trim it to length for your specific firearm.
