Not too long ago I replaced the hammer and grip safety on my 1911a1 with a commander type hammer,sear and a drop-in beavertail (all from Wilson).
The hammer that came on this pistol is a wide spur with a chip broken off the end of the spur . I plan on having the pistol refinished with an OEM type hammer and grip safety along with the commander parts. That way if I ever sell it the new owner can use either style.
I just received another hammer thats in very nice condition, however, the spur length is shorter. Would this critter be from a 1911 instead of a 1911a1? The checkering and width of the spur is identical too. After looking closer I noticed that right where the spur begins to widen it has a "radius" cut on either side while the damaged (original) hammer has a "square" cut.
Any ideas??
Thanks!!
