Our Tact Team had them for a while. Kimber TLE if I remember correctly. Of the 8 or so they had they never could get 2 of the to run right. Firing Pin safety wouldnt always release.
Ah, that explains it. I had my Kimber ten or so years ago; the full-length guide rod made the use of a bushing wrench desirable, but only the hex screws in the grip required a special tool.
True 1911s can be completely disassembled with only the pistol's component parts; no external tools are required. It's quite the brilliant design.
You use the flat spring (can't recall the proper name) that runs behind the grip safety. The part that hooks into the frame will fit the grip screws ("true" 1911s have slotted grip screws ). That spring is also what you use to remove the magazine release.Can I ask how you manage that? What part of the 1911 can be used to take the grip screws out? Or is that the only thing?
