This week I rebuilt one of my most used 1911's with these parts from Harrison Custom.
The factory cast hammer and MIM sear had become worn enough that the gun began to experience hammer follow. The sear spring and hammer spring were also pretty tired, so it was time for an overhaul. I also ordered a hammer strut as they can often be a bear to remove and I find it easier to just go with a new one. The parts arrived in a timely manner and I was very impressed with the quality. I chose to go with the true radius option and the hammer, sear and disconnector all installed without incident, or alteration. The strut pin is advertised as over sized and it is, but fitting required only a few minutes. Fitting of the original thumb safety was necessary, but anticipated, so no surprises there. A little adjustment of the new sear spring, the over travel screw and the job was done, resulting in a clean, perfect four pound pull that breaks like the classic glass rod. I had set the original trigger to three and a half pounds, but I have no complaints with it as is, so I won't be making further adjustments. I highly recommend these parts.
The first eight rounds fired off hand at twenty five yards during the function check.
