Heads up. Keep an eye on the trigger guard pivot pin. If it shows any sign of walking out while you're shooting,you'll want to loc-tite it in place. I think it's extremely unlikely.

Read down to the second page of this thread:

... three rounds into the final magazine, the slide blew off, springs went flying, the trigger guard fell off, total and complete meltdown.

and on the next page

I got a '66 from J&G and probably came close to what happened with you the first time I shot it. I actually caught the pin walking out while shooting. Every three rounds or so it would start popping out. I ended up showing my gunsmith it and he put a dab of a lock-tite type chemical on it. He says he has seen this a lot with these guns???

That site is a good resource, by the way.

my CZ.52 has the same issue, the pin above the trigger comes out a lil bit

Finally brought my P64 home yesterday, and swapped out the hammer spring last night. The 18 lb spring from Wolff makes all the difference in the world: the pistol was virtually unusable with the original spring.

Anyway, here are some pictures to make it official.

1. I hope you borrowed that foot.....

2. Tell me more about that 1911! That's sharp!

1. ??? Foot?

2. It's a Springfield "Loaded". I really like the grips; I think they're cocobolo.
I replaced the full length guide rod with a GI guide rod and plug. I also want to replace the trigger with a short trigger (I have small hands).
I have a GI trigger around here somewhere. Not sure if I should use that or find a commercial trigger.
Also not sure if I should do it myself, or have it done by a 1911 smith.

Looks great!!! (except the foot) You took great pics. I haven't had the chance to shoot mine yet, it was raining last week. Hopefully this week I can make it to the range. I'm going to try the orginal spring, if I don't like it i'll do the switch too.
