| Is there a good parts/repair kit anyone would recommend? Something that includes common springs and other various small parts that require replacement eventually just to have on deck in case of the need for a quick fix. Thanks in advance for any replies. |
| The extractor is the Achilles heel of the 1911 so a spare FITTED extractor is key perhaps some spare recoil firing pin springs and that is about it. The 1911 is a very durable design with most parts crapping out only after many years and tens of thousands of rounds. Keep in mind except springs if a part on your 1911 breaks there is a very high probability the replacement will need hand fitting for best performance. |

Just a range gun. Looks like I'll grab the spring kit, pin kit, and extractor. Thanks all for the info. Quoted:

what is the gun used for? the part kit for a light range use gun would be completely different than say an IDPA or IPSC gun, or a backup woods gun. Just a range gun. Looks like I'll grab the spring kit, pin kit, and extractor. Thanks all for the info. Extractor has to be fitted and tuned, tho. |
