  1. As you noted on a previous response, the 1911 can only drop fire if its dropped in a very specific way. They can only inertia fire if dropped directly on the muzzle, in these cases, the steel firing pin can have enough momentum to overcome the spring tension holding the firing pin in place, but that can't happen if dropped in any other way, just based on simple physics. And the reality of you dropping your gun in that specific of a manner means that, while it would be an AD, your gun is pointed in a safe direction (the ground) and that could really only happen of you dropped it while holstering. While unlikely, as you note, there are several ways to mitigate it. A heavier firing pin spring is one, but that can compromise ignition reliability, so you would want to pair that with an increases power main spring (which in turn would help reduce recoil). However, if you don't want to "tune" your 1911, a titanium firing pin solves the problem and has virtually no effect on the reliability. It is a drop in part for like $20-30.
  2. Not a lot of people know that the OG Commanders were designed with aluminum frames and designed for the 9mm (with the al frame later being dubbed the Lightweight Commander and the steel frame being the Combat Commander). 1911 purists preach .45 ACP or nothing at all, but the Commander in 9mm (1949 for the gov't contract) and .38 Super (1950 for the civilian market) is older than most of us on this forum are. A lot also don't know that the 9mm is in fact 3 years older than the .45 ACP.
  3. Man, another free bump to the seller. I saw GOC and thought "Oh! Another way to spend money, better go look that up." But one of the first things I found was the Gay Outdoor Club. I'm sure they're great folks, but probably not gun people.
  4. I would not be, but happy to ship it. Shipping in state, resident to resident is legal, according to our government overlords. https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/may-nonlicensee-ship-firearm-common-or-contract-carrier
  5. Why do you do this to me? PM sent on on 226.
  6. Looking for a stock upgrade for my Tikka. Something like the KRG Bravo or MDT Field Stock, but I’m open to other options.
  7. Works as it should, just not really my jam.
