I've been futzing with my Springfield 1911 for a while, and it seems to me that if the sear broke, the hammer would fall and would set off a live round if one were in the chamber.
So, safety of the design depends on the potential for the sear to break. What do more experienced folks have to say about this? What if your part has an internal defect?
Second, the contact area between the sear and the notch on the hammer seems small. Could it slip off some how? Does that area wear down over time and thousands of trigger pulls?
This is probably what people were thinking about when they designed the series 80 and Kimber II pistols. Is this necessary?
