Hey gun guys, have you heard of the SFS mod for the 1911?

Link to info.

Have any of you done it or know anyone who has? I read about it somewhere and it sounded interesting.

It allows you to carry a 1911 hammer down, and when you pop the safety off the hammer jumps to the fully cocked position.

If any of you have tried it, did you install it on your own?

You shouldn't carry it hammer down.  Anything hits it the gun is going to go off.


If you want to be safe you should carry it half cocked.



No offense to them, but it looks just like more crap that you don't want to go wrong.

A 1911 will not go off if something hits the hammer while the hammer is down on a live round.   the firing pin is too short.  It is an inertia firing pin.  I carry hammer down on a live round in every handgun I own.   If it is not safe to do so I don't carry the gun at all.   most guns have some sort of hammer block that requires the trigger to be full back for the hammer to contact the fireing pin.

As for the feature gto is talking about.. I don't really see the point.  I can draw and **** all in one motion and don't use the safety... revolvers don't use safeties and modern semi autos have little or no use for em either.
