OUCH! (1911 related)

[Slimjim]

The flesh between my thumb and finger is SORE! I had to break in my 1911 today, and Now i know what hammer bite is. So, can someone recommend me a beavertail? One that's pretty good and doesnt require frame modifications. Thanks.

Was it the hammer actually contacting you or was it sharp edges of the grip safety chewing on your hand?

Which 1911 were you using?

The boy's have a point - we do need to know exactly what gun you have.

But anyway, if this is the standard USGI configuration with the regular spur hammer, you can save a lot of time and bucks by simply slimming the back and underside of the hammer - expecially the cocking spur. On too many of today's so-called GI guns it is too thick, and that's the part that pinches your hand.

But if course if you want to spend money ....
