But that's only eleven parts. I can't think of anything else that would be affected by taking that 1/8-inch slice out of the pistol. What am I missing?
- Ejector
- Firing pin spring
- (maybe) a lock plate for the magazine floor plate?
Also, if the parts count compares to a "regular 1911", as Ron writes, you can also add another eight parts: the four slim grip screws and another four slim grip screw bushings. And on the same somewhat misleading principle, maybe the sights as well, and the beavertail, and the recoil spring assembly, and...
Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold.
