    1911 Series 70 (or GI) firing pin

    Anyone have one, or know who makes a 70 series pin without the cut for the S80 safety?

    If it was that simple, I wouldn't have had to ask the question.

    A simple thanks but that isn't what I was looking for would have been suffice.

    Call me stupid but I'm not sure what the question is.

    Almost all .45ACP firing pins are now manufactured to work in Series 80 guns (the Colt and Para-Ordnance type of firing pin block safety). Since they also work in guns with no firing pin safety, they only have to make one type.

    There are certain applications (like defeating the Swartz-type firing pin block on Kimber Series II gun) where an old-fashioned Series 70/non-series 80 firing pin is required.

    Exactly what I'm using it for.

    If had done such a thing to, say hypothetically to a Kimber Eclipse Target II with a finicky firing pin safety, I might know that Brownells part number 560-451-502 worked nicely to solve the problem of a bad implementation of a so-so-design intended to solve a non-existent problem.
