Oh I understand that. I cheeped out and thought I would find one at the gunshow..(shipping and all) Well I did, I found a no-name brand that I''ve been trying to sand down to fit in the recess. And while I am, making progress, I'm just wondering iffin the bastige is really necessary. mechanically speaking of course. |

I think that if you remove the plunger and spring from the slide the pistol will still function. You can test it by pushing on the firing pin and seeing if it protrudes enough on the bolt face of the slide to strike a primer when you have your finger over the firing pin hole.
ETA; I'd leave the linkage in the frame. |

Thanks for the link 1911smith. |

The leg that pushes the plunger can move far enough to enter the hole in the slide. Brownells sells the frame slot filler cheap.http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=13121/Product/1911_AUTO_FRAME_SLOT_BLANK |
