She does not like the effort required to cock the ejectors. Since the shells are raised enough to extract them when the ejectors have not been tripped, disabling the ejectors seems a viable approach for her. What component would be temporarily removed to accomplish this? Thanks.

I am thinking about the fox ejector mechanism and basically gutting the forend iron of all the ejector parts would do the trick. There is not really any one or two parts alone that will get it done.

Please take care when you remove the original springs, or you may never find them again Mike Last edited by skeettx; 12/05/16 07:56 PM. USAF RET 1971-95

But that is just my opinion. She's only shot a couple of times, and she does find it difficult. It is better to do what I need to to help her enjoy this activity. That way we can do it together.

That sounds interesting. I haven't had my 1911 apart for a while. I'll take a look. These springs seem more stout that firing pin springs. They do seem a bit like 1911 mainsprings, or j-frame hammer springs.

Gun works much better to suit the lady who owns it. Thanks.
