The Kimber firing pin block is deactivated by the grip safety, not the trigger.The Annoyed Man wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 3:57 pmI have owned a Kimber with their firing pin block, and I currently own a Springfield Loaded—which is an upgraded 1911A1. No, I wasn’t able to tell the difference in the trigger feel. Springfield solved the problem of drop safety by using a stronger firing pin spring, paired with a titanium firing pin. The lighter firing pin does not have enough mass to overcome the spring if the gun is dropped.Liberty wrote: ↑Sat Oct 26, 2019 8:34 am Just curious, does the firing pin block really make that much of a difference? I mostly shoot, DA/SA Handguns and they all have firing pin blocks. Definitely not 1911 quality triggers. I know a lot of shooters don't like 80 series, but I am wondering just how much of a difference it really makes.
