The slide pin hole in a 1911 frame can vary to a small degree. Is there an advantage, or a need, to gauge the hole in the frame and install the "correct" pin with the optimal O.D.?
I have pin gauge set and have a 1911 hard fit barrel to install. I'm thinking of starting this one with a snug, but proper slide stop fit. Even though downward compressive forces will keep the pin seated in the frames pin "bed", I feel a proper fit could reduce uneven stresses or potential wear on the frame.
Or am I over analyzing this?
