I do not remember Novak selling "The Answer" as parts; it is only sold as part of Novak smithed pistols. According to the Novak website, it is still available on some of the custom pistol packages. The "Elite Combat Custom" and "Advanced Defensive Pistol" packages come with "The Answer". http://www.novaksinc.com/custom-1911-packages.html
"The Answer" part and install used to be an $800 option when Novak offered a la carte work.
I have not re-read the whole thread but did somebody say Browning High Powers don’t have grip safeties…? This one does…..
Personal gun I'm working up for myself over the years and a bit of a test bed. The grip safety functions as such but in the end just was not practical from the manufacturing point of view.
Since we've deviated into Hi-Power modifications, any thoughts on the Cylinder and Slide "Safety Fast Shooting" kit?
"When the phone rang, Parker was in the garage, killing a man."
I haven't heard anything about that in years and didn't realize it was still offered. I never studied it much.... the same system was used on Paras for a while, right.....? The fact that para used it was kind of a minus for me. In this system the hammer body is just an appendage really, at least as I understand it. There's like a sub-hammer that powers the hammer appendage. I don't know if it's a good system or a bad one, but i have tremendous respect for Cylinder and Slide so I do feel safe in saying if they are offering it there must be some good to it.
