Brownells Gun Techs Caleb Savant and Steve Ostrem are talking about spare parts you should keep on hand for the good ol' Forty Five, the 1911 pistol. Steve breaks 1911 replacement parts into two categories: (1) parts that might BREAK or wear out and (2) parts you might LOSE. One way to go Boy Scout and be prepared is to just get a complete pin set, rebuild kit, or small parts completion kit. That'll cover all the little parts like the hammer, sear, and mainspring housing pins, safety plunger / spring assembly, and the mainspring. Parts that are most likely to fail or wear by shooting your 1911 a lot are the extractor, grip screws, and firing pin. Parts that can inadvertently go astray when you disassemble the gun for cleaning or upgrades include the slide stop, recoil spring plug, firing pin spring, and if your 1911's a Colt Series 80, the safety plunger and levers. Steve even has a tip for backing up your mainspring housing. Did the guys miss any mission critical 1911 spare parts? Is there another gun you'd like them to cover in a future installment of this series?
