I knew some of that, but the rim of a .45 to take grips off is a bit much. I have a 1917 built 1911 and the original grip screw slots are not concave and the .45ACP rim is flush with the rest of the shell making it impossible to get it in the screw. I always thought it may have been the bottom of the sear spring for that task? Interesting historical facts, none the less. The man was a genius, sheer genius. Thanks for the tid-bit. (that sight is neat too)

I thought about moving this to one of the 1911 format areas but since we have several, it was a hard decision as to which one so ..... lets just tack this one here in general for all to see. nice page BTW
One thing to remember, this is for general information and emergency field use. Repeated use of the main spring as a screwdriver for example, could result in a broken spring. |
