I have minor hammer bite with my RIA 1911 .45. Will changing the recoil spring to a slightly stronger one decrease this?

The hammer is digging a hole in the fat part of your hand between your thumb and your trigger finger ? Replace the grip safety with one of the beavertail types that shields your hand from the hammer. If you're still getting bit, try a Commander style hammer. My 1935's used to do that to me until I bobbed the hammers on them.

Which beavertail is best for the RIA 1911? I don't want there to be any space between the frame and beavertail. I don't mind doing the blending I just want there to be enough metal so I don't have to do any welding.

Thanks
Gentlemen: As a fairly recent Colt series 70 pistol owner, I thank you all for a most informative thread that has gone a long way in clarifying how these guns really work.
I am still getting to grips with shooting my new pistol (well, not really new as it was one of a batch made at Hartford in 1980) but am getting there! |
