I just got ahold of another 1911, its brand new and unfired.
I would like to replace the hammer with a skeletonized hammer on this gun (mainly for looks)
Can I just drop in a new hammer since this gun has never been fired. I would figure since nothing has broken in yet it would be ok since the parts will all break in together.
Can anyone recommend a decent priced matte stainless hammer, or all of them about in the $50 range?
I heard this once. Replace any part of a 1911s internal workings is like replacing a camshaft, if you replace the camshaft you also replace the lifters, ect, otherwise you risk damage. Well if thats the case, my lifters are already new so I wouldnt replace them haha!
