Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Fits 1911 Auto pistols only, so it is not a universal small-parts kit.
  • This listing is for blued parts; the finish may need to match the rest of the pistol’s existing hardware.
  • The pack contains six pieces, which is useful for spares but may be more than needed for a single repair.
  • The description provides fit and material details, but not individual dimensions or compatibility beyond the 1911 platform.
