Springfield Armory Micro Compact .45ACP Repairs Needed
Posted: Tue Dec 01, 2009 8:13 pm
Well after 50 round on the last trip to the range I was trying to figure out why the gun wouldn't go from Safe to Fire and then Back to Safe. Looking at the gun I noticed it seemed as the pin that holds pressure on the safety seemed to be out of the norm.
The I bring it home to strip it down to frame and notice that the whole piece that holds the spring and the two pins wobbled loose. After doing some reading this is pretty common problems and one of the weaknesses of the .45ACP frames.
I will be needing to buy a new 1911 Retaining Pin Holder, Crimping tool, Pin Hole protector and I also need a new Slide Release.
So 100.00 in parts and tools here I come! Lovely!
