And...don't count on a given hammer dropping in and working properly, regardless of what it says on the package.

Agreed. However sometimes they do drop in without any fitting. Also, if a person is practiced and knowledgeable, he should not have a significant problem in installing a new hammer. However, if the poster had to ask where to find the parts, he likely does not have the requisite skills and/or the confidence to do the change. But, if the gun is not used for a critical purpose (concealed carry, etc.), and there is no pressing time constraint before the gun has to return to service, this would seem like an ideal opportunity to learn about the 1911.
Although it was not a 1911, I dropped in a burr hammer on my Browning H.P. with no ill effects...could not stand the looks of the factory spur hammer.
