Ok, so I've got 3 1911s. I've got a Colt Commander, a RIA compact (3.25"), and a Springfield Micro Compact.
I had to order the internals for the mainspring housing for my Springfield when parts took flight randomly.
My problem is this: The mainspring cap Numrich sent me (for a Colt officer's 1911) is too big. It doesn't fit either of my compacts, and also doesn't fit my commander model.
What's the deal? Aren't these supposed to be drop in parts that require no fitting?
I expected the part to be too large for the Govt/commander MSH, but it should fit both compact MSH's.
Can anyone advise me on what specific part to order, and where to get it? Obviously I'm missing something.
