How long till they are available?
I just installed the semi curved trigger and am pretty impressed with it.
Definitely getting the hammer and dropping it in.

Also interested. How difficult is it to replace the hammer?

This is the first I'm hearing about this modification. What purpose does it serve, besides ever so slightly lightening the gun?

Will ship Nov 30

Looks like if you want one for $89 better get in on the pre-order. Price goes up $10 after they are in stock and shipping.

Gents, the "cool looks" are the LAST on the priority list.

If you would like to find out more about this hammer, please click on the above link posted by powermad and read the description / performance attributes etc.
Thank you.

For folk who don't want to have to click and go look, here is what the web site for them says:

"The purpose of a reduced weight hammer, (just like a reduced weight firing pin), is to reduce the lock time, which makes it easier to get a reliable low weight trigger pull.

Reduced mass hammer will produce *higher velocity* which gives a better energy transfer from the mainspring to the firing pin. (i.e., you can technically use a lighter mainspring - which gives a lighter trigger pull) and still get reliable primer ignition.

Of course there is a fine balance between reduced weight and structural integrity (or having the mass reduced too much for reliable strikes). Our hammers are ABSOLUTELY designed with this in mind and are designed to achieve this balance. Our skeletonized reduced mass hammer uses the lineage, reliability and mechanics of the legendary SIG X5/6 SuperMatch hammer as its baseline of performance

This hammer has several advantages - it will be manufactured via precision EDM machining out of 'tool steel' that will be hardened....and yes, there will be special attention paid to the hammer hooks, so the trigger pull will be smoother."

I have one on pre order since Oct 8. Will report back once I get it. Hopefully soon.
I am very satisfied with their adjustable triggers. I am also waiting for them to release their straight adjustable trigger for SAO P's.

The hammers look beautiful. I always see EDM parts as gems. Nice offering.
