Some people had a problem or 2 but I'd rather not be one of the few, you know? Its as unnecessary as the swartz safety in Kimbers. I took it out of my PT1911 AR and it takes a very short amount of time to do so. Less to wear out and malfunction at the wrong time. Not sure about this Colt but my PT1911AR's trigger did get better with it removed. So far that PT1911 and this Colt are the only 2 80 series I've owned out of 8 1911s now. Most people prefer the 70 series but I'll never pass on a nice 80 when it can be solved with a $5 shim from Brownells. Most Colts are 80s now so unless you want to get a GI type you get the 80 series or nothing from Colt.

Chances of these useless parts going bad may be 1 in a billion but why bother being that one. People seem to win the lottery now and then is all I'm saying.

ETA: BTW, are the Blackened stainless the same price as the regular stainless?
