Patriot Defense | Sledge Hammer Heavy – DLC Black | Tanfoglio 

The Patriot Defense Sledge Hammer Heavy (DLC Black) is designed for shooters who demand maximum reliability and performance from their Tanfoglio or IWI Jericho 941 pistols. Precision-engineered from high carbon steel billet, this hammer undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process for durability, consistency, and competitive performance.

Manufacturing Process

  • Billet High Carbon Steel – precision milled for exact profile

  • Heat Treated to RC50–RC52 – ensures long-lasting durability

  • EDM-Cut Hammer Hooks – machined post-heat treat for perfect tolerances

  • DLC Finish (Diamond-Like Coating) – reduces friction, increases hardness, and protects against corrosion

Performance Benefits

  • DA/SA & SAO Compatible

  • Shortened Single Action Hooks – crisp, short single-action trigger break

  • Heavier Mass Design – more kinetic energy delivered to the firing pin for enhanced ignition reliability

  • IPSC/USPSA Legal – fully compliant for competitive shooting

Installation Note
We recommend replacing your sear if your pistol has over 2,000 single-action cycles, as hammer/sear wear together. 

⚠️ Important Warning

Modification to your firearm may void the manufacturer’s warranty. This part must be installed and properly fitted by a qualified gunsmith. Patriot Defense assumes no liability for damage, malfunction, or injury resulting from improper installation or misuse.

    Yes it hits hard

    Installed this and a 16.5 lb hammer spring. Huge difference in hit pencil test. The 16.5 spring added a lb to DA and .5 to SA. Overall 7DA 2.8SA, very acceptable to fire any primers 9mm the market.

    Hammer. Optimized

    The hammer hooks allow for a very crisp short break on this hammer a huge improvement over a stock piece, 100% reliable so far with a 14lb spring even on ginex and CCI primers which is allowing for a DA trigger pull that is insane. Highly Recommend.

    Sledge Hammer Heavy +

    If your using anything other than Federal primers means you need a heavy hammer and spring. I’ve been using CCI primers and I had to use a 16.5 pound hammer spring with a Titan hammer. Now with the new Sledgehammer heavy I’ve been able do drop down to a 15.5 pound hammer spring. Dropped 1.7 pound DA and 0.3 pound SA. Happy so far. Plus it’s cheaper than a titan ( that is if you didn’t already buy one
