Description
This medium-length solid trigger comes straight from Nighthawk Custom's manufacturing process and carries the same high standards they apply to every gun they build. It's the real deal if you're upgrading a 1911 and want the quality of a factory Nighthawk without the full pistol cost.
Solid Trigger Design with Real Durability
Nighthawk engineered this trigger with an extra-wide trigger bow that takes a beating and keeps performing. The solid shoe design stays traditional and clean-looking while the carefully applied serrations on the face give you the grip you need without cutting into your finger pad. Everything sits together with minimal slop, so you get a consistent press every time you take the trigger.
Medium Length for Most Hands
The medium sizing hits a sweet spot for most shooters. At 0.39 inches, it provides enough reach that you're not cramping your finger into the frame while still keeping things compact and responsive. If you're running a standard frame or commander-length gun, this length works across the board without the overreach some find awkward with longer triggers.
Fine-Tuning with Included Adjustment
The overtravel adjustment screw and hex wrench arrive in the box so you can dial in exactly where your trigger breaks. Some users install this straight into their 1911 and run it as-is, others make minor tweaks to tighten up the feel. Either way, you've got the tool right there to get it where you want it.
Finished in natural stainless steel, the trigger integrates cleanly into Government, Commander, and Officer-frame 1911s. This is a genuine upgrade component from a company that stakes its reputation on precision 1911 work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this medium trigger work with my standard 1911?
Yes, this trigger is designed for 1911 Government, Commander, and Officer-frame models. The medium length works well for most shooters and is compatible across all three frame sizes. Some fitting may be required depending on your specific pistol, so professional installation is recommended if you're not comfortable with gunsmithing.
What's the difference between medium and short triggers?
The medium trigger at 0.39 inches sits between short and long options. Medium works best if you have average to larger hands or prefer not to crimp your finger too far into the frame. Short triggers take up less space but require more finger bend, while the medium gives you more surface area to work with while staying responsive.
Can I adjust the overtravel on this trigger?
Yes, the trigger includes an overtravel adjustment screw and hex wrench right in the box. You can fine-tune how far the trigger travels after the break to tighten up the feel if needed. This gives you flexibility to dial it in exactly how you want it once installed.
Is this the same trigger Nighthawk puts in their custom pistols?
This is the same match-grade quality trigger that goes into Nighthawk Custom 1911s. It's manufactured to their standards and carries the precision you'd expect from a company that builds every gun start-to-finish with one gunsmith.
