I tore my Sig 1911 apart
I'm getting rid of the "Series 80" firing pin safety. And I'm shaping the trigger for a trigger shoe.

No. I bought it from Amazon.com. I bought one from their "warehouse deals" - one that had a mangled box but the contents was like new.
I didn't care about the box anyway, so I bought it. It cost me $20.55 Looks like Amazon is out of them but they still list several dealers that sell them for a little more expensive. Bessey has been in the business of making woodworking clamps for a long time. One of the best in the business. Unfortunately like almost every other thing you buy they are now made in China. PanaVice is also a good one. It is a little more expensive but about the same thing. I'm sure it's now made in China as well. The PanaVice jaw width is a little smaller than the Bessey. The PanaVice is 2 1/2" wide and opens to 2 1/4". The Bessey is 2 3/4" wide and opens to 2 3/4". Amazon has a couple of the PanaVice discounted because of damaged packaging. |

I have never had a series 80, 1911A1. I did not know you could nix the firing pin safety contraption. Interesting.

If that's a carry piece, trigger shoes are bad JuJu

There's a spacer for series 80 frames. Have one in my colt. Very nice. I carry Rock Island Armory 1911's. The four prong spring makes it easier to do a 3/12 -4 lb.trigger pull.
