The SFS is available for 70 and 80 series 1911’s, and BHPs.txhighlander wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 11:50 amIf I am remembering correctly I played with an older version years ago that I thought was neat but to costly to do unless you were already doing work. After you chambered a round and engaged the safety you could push the hammer forward. Then when you engaged the safety to fire it would cock the hammer for you. Is this what you are talking about? I played with it on a high power, I don’t think it was made for 1911’s at that time but I might be mistaken.flowrie wrote: ↑Sun Jul 01, 2018 7:52 am Keep us posted.
I really like my Sr1911 and also like my VM2.
One thing I did add to my SR1911 was this Fast safety system.
You can carry with hammer down, round chambered, flick the safety off which recocks the hammer.
Have this on my 1911 and Browning HP.

I like it because the hammer does not tend to catch on clothing as easily when the hammer is down and there is a bar that blocks the hammer from contacting the firing pin.
With the SFS, when the hammer is down, there is a blocking bar ( that’s what I call it) that does not allow the hammer to contact the firing pin. When you chamber a round, you simply push the hammer forward, the bar moves into position and the safety also moves into position. Move the safety down and the hammer is cocked.
If the safety is off ( which cocks the hammer ) and you drop your 1911, if the hammer hits the ground then the bar moves into place to prevent a discharge. The only time the bar is not blocking the hammer is when the trigger is pulled.
Kinda reminds me of the transfer bar on Ruger revolvers, but operates the opposite manner. Instead of transferring energy it blocks the energy.
I understand some folks don’t like any changes and it’s not for everyone, I am also having to train myself with the difference, but I do like it, I feel better with it, so I have more confidence with it. I have run about 500 rounds thru it with the SFS, no issues.
I own no interest in BH Spring Solutions, they do have good products. They have always treated me very well.
