Springfield had a hokey lock on their 1911's in the MSH there for a while. Maybe they still do, I dont know. They locked the mainspring and used a pretty fragile, two pin type key, that easily broke if you were the least bit heavy handed when turning it, and then you were screwed.
They were pretty easily fixed by just installing the proper parts in the MSH, or better yet, just replacing the MSH with a proper one. Like the S&W's, best left alone if you had one and didnt care about it. At least S&W didnt cheap out on the keys and it wasnt so fragile.
I solved the problem by not buying any more Springfields.
