Anybody know where to buy one? Due to liability issues, Springfeild won't sell you one unless you send them your pistol and let them fit it. Thanks, John |

TRG, I haven't heard that. Hope it holds up OK. If it doesn't I'll chock it up as a lesson learned and put my "Bullet Proof " one back in. Years ago when I did maching at Pratt & Whitney we made rotor blades and vanes for jet engines from titainiun. Not sure about impact forces but its not brittle. John |
too bad, it's a waste of money And by the way did you order a FP for 9mm? That what SA uses in all their 1911's.
In theory.........try measuring it

It is used to do the same thing as Colt Series 80 or Kimber Series 2. The titanium pin does not have the inertia to strike the pin and fire the weapon if its dropped on its head. The lesser mass of it is beneficial-it reduces (although probably not significantly) the locktime, or time between the trigger breaking and the round being fired. |

No problem, I just went to Brownells and found it. I don't have one in mine, I'll just stick with steel. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I've been on 1911forum.com for a couple years now, and most of the guys there say it's a waste of time and money, but YMMV. Let us know how it works for you though. BTW, I've got 2 series 80 Colt Commanders, One is a Lightweight Commander and the other is a Combat Commanderin SS.
