Overview

Designed for 1911 trigger work, this dual-purpose jig helps position both the sear and hammer for controlled stoning and consistent 90-degree cuts. It is intended for use with all styles of 1911 hammers and sears, and the combination jig/vise keeps the parts aligned at the proper height and relationship during the process. The result is a setup aimed at producing a clean-breaking, match-quality let-off without relying on guesswork. Made from hardened, anodized aluminum and supplied with instructions, it is a specialized bench tool for careful pistol work rather than a general-purpose shop fixture.

Pros

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed specifically for 1911 hammer and sear work, so it is not a general-purpose jig for other firearm platforms.
  • Requires a 6" x 1/2" x 1/2" stone, which adds a setup requirement if you do not already have the correct stone on hand.
  • The compact size is convenient, but it also means the jig is intended for bench use rather than high-volume shop throughput.
  • Includes instructions, but achieving the intended result still depends on careful setup and proper stoning technique.
