1911NM

Sorry I cannot find it at the moment, but I do recall a story, on one of the 1911 forums where a LEO had gotten into a physical altercation with a suspect, evidently fought all over a stair well, against walls, bannisters, and after handcuffing and things cooled down, he noticed, a portion of the hammer of his 1911 (carried Cond. 1) had been broken off, and what was left was bent, but the hammer never fell. The pic posted was just amazing, regarding the abuse that hammer took, but it didn't drop. Again, just my recollection, I can't find it to back up the story.
