Ok buddy. Thats why i run a glock 17 as a competition gun. Only modifications are a stock glock 34 adjustable rear sight i got for free(they are like $12 anyway), a hogue handal grip i paid $13 for, and a ghost 3.5# connector and hand polish with install i paid $45 for. So for my stock glock 17 gen 4 and another $58, i have a competition gun. How much did you spend on your stock 1911? Not bashing, id love to have one sooner than later, but glocks are around for a reason.

skiball83 OK and I normally do not do this but here goes. I will not bash your glock for what it is. It is an expensive disposable gun. It does the job period. It is the Toyota Camry of the gun world. Please do not take this the wrong way but it is not a Cadillac, it is not even a Lincoln, it is not the Avalon it is just a Camry. You buy it and it gets you from point a to point b. You can put $1000 in it but why would you? Plastic sights, spongy trigger, plastic mags = glock perfection. Buy one it works as it should. Do not spend any extra money on it. If it fails or god forbid you have to use it for a "good shoot" and lose it go buy another one. That is what it was designed for.

skiball83 1911's have been around for over a century for a reason. They're just that good. Young guys have this idea that they're terrible because of horror stories from old time vets, they never get the part about the abuse those old war guns took, but still functioned. Or they think they're not accurate because, historically, the military spends about five minutes training on pistol use. Then, it's taught it's a last resort, point blank option. The truth is that a 1911 is very reliable, and very accurate. And will out last any poly-gun. Many of the 1911's that the military finally got rid of, just a few years ago, were dated back to the World Wars. There are already news releases, all over the interwebz, about Gen 1 Glock frames failing. That's only a 30 year old gun. These idiots spouting "I've carried my Glock for 20 years, and I'll carry it for life!" Don't shoot. Is a 1911 perfect? no. Is a Glock perfect? I'd say that five "generations", with more changes coming, proves not. Oh, btw, here's some Glock trivia for you: The striker-fire system was developed by John Moses Browning, ALONGSIDE the 1911. As Colt was heavily invested in marketing the 1911 for the American market, they chose to sell the Striker design to Fabrique, with a non-competition clause. The first Striker Fire pistol was the Fabrique Model 1900, which saw moderate popularity in Europe, and was replaced by the Model 1922. The first polymer framed pistol was released by H&K, in 1970. The only thing Glock did was take two designs, mash them together, and pay a movie producer a couple of million dollars to have "John McClane" give a two minute false advertising rant about his gun in Die Hard 2. Without that movie Glock would have never become a "thing".

FWIW Kimber uses the grip safety to disengage the firing pin lock so it has no effect on the trigger. You can achieve a "drop safe" gun without a firing pin lock by doing one, or both, of two things 1. Install a titanium firing pin 2. Install an extra strength firing pin spring. Many of the imported "series 70" guns use an extra strength firing pin spring. They manage to pass the drop safety test required for imported guns with it. I prefer a titanium firing pin to "drop safe" a series 70 gun. The extra strength springs are a total pain in the @$$ to replace when removing the firing pin and extractor for cleaning.

I bought a used Remington 1911 R1 at a gun show, took it to the range, and it wouldn't fire. I later discovered the Firing Pin Plunger Lever was broken, and the tip that raised the firing pin plunger was broken off. So those parts DO fail. If someone isn't careful to make sure the Firing Pin Plunger Lever is in the down position when simply putting the slide back on the tip of the Firing Pin Plunger Lever can be easily sheared off.
@vr4787

I’ve had a 1911 R1 since 2011 and never had that issue with the plunger and put thousands of rounds through it by this point. Sounds like the previous owner forced the slide and damaged the plunger, and sold it off when they couldn’t figure out why it wouldn’t fire. The plunger on mine always stays down, you’d have to physically pull it up and assemble the gun upside down for that to happen.

Springfield mil spec 1911 has a lighter firing pin and stronger spring, with no firing pin block. It is very drop safe reliable; As prrof of this claim - even the State of California DOJ approves! So it is possible to have safety and improved trigger pull. Same goes for older CZ75 pre B models and Shadow P-01 models.Sometimes simpler and fewer parts is better.

If you are the first time owner of a new Series 80 1911 I would tend to agree that there would likely never be a problem as long as you know how to clear and properly reinstall the slide. I purchased a used Sig Sauer 1911 Emperor Scorpion. I functioned checked it at LGS but did not break down the pistol there. I am a certified Sig Sauer armorer. When I got the pistol home and broke it down I noticed the firing pin saafety plunger level, that is in the frame was mangled and bent forward and a bit sideways and was not fully seating. I think original owner did not know to make sure that was down when putting slide back on and he bent it. Then because it did not fully seat the slide was benting the tip down when going back into battery. And with that bent it was not fully supressing the safety plunger which in turn was allowing the wider rear part of the firy pin to hit and gouge it. I suspect with this the owner was getting light primer strikes at times and cursing Sig. I replaced the lever, the safety plunger and spring, the firing pin and spring. Still sent it back to Sig in regards to reviewing, correcting and reinitiating warranty. They found the extractor tip was broke which I had missed and replaced several other springs. So those extra Series 80 parts, starting with the firing pin safety plunger lever, can be damaged by inexperienced owner.

If you look at a Series 80 type 1911 with an external extractor (like a Sig STX) it has at the back of the slide what looks like an internal extractor. Because the Series 80 was designed to use the internal extractor of the Colt 1911 to retain the plunger and spring, 1911s with external extractors still need something to retain them. So there's a butt-end of an internal extractor in the slide to do that job, even thought its not the gun's actual extractor!

My series 80 failed due to dirt accumulated in the extractor and plunger areas after 4 years. I didn't know how to properly clean it due to the owner's manual failing to show it. It wasn't until I saw disassembly videos on you tube that I learned how! When I ran a Q tip through the extractor hole I pushed out a plug of carbon and dirt that was preventing the firing pin from moving and the extractor working! the weird thing is that it fired fine the last time at the range with no indication the time before. The series 80 Remington R-1 Enhanced is a fine weapon as long as you detail clean it from time to time. I wouldn't wait more than a year if you fire it often to detail strip and clean though.

Have 3 1911 all Colts and my brother has a series 80! There is a difference in the trigger pull and feel! Maybe you should had use the same manufacturer guns! My 70’s are a Gold Cup a commander and a reworked bullseye gun. There is a difference in the trigger pull from the commander and the series 80, both guns are original with no work ,on them. The 80 is stiffer grinding pull have taken my trigger from my rework bullseye gun and it still had that grinding feel and have shot other series 80’s and all feel the same grinding feel!

If I remember correctly, a company with the word BROWN in its name at one time listed a "shim" of various thickness to replace the series 80 drop safety.

I love both my 70 and 80 series Colt Gold cup national match.

I have carpal tunnel in both hands so 1911s are not safe for me as I get unintended dis charges with a 7 lb 1912 trigger pull with some take up so I use a Smith 4506.
