The HD 1911 disconnector is meticulously crafted using advanced machining techniques in our State-of-the-art machining centers, ensuring precision and reliability in every piece. Following the machining process, each disconnector undergoes a specialized vacuum heat treatment at Vacu-Braze in Trumbauersville, PA. This method is chosen for its ability to enhance the material's durability and performance while minimizing the stress typically associated with conventional heat treating processes. To further augment the disconnector's resilience and aesthetic appeal, it is then expertly coated with a black oxide finish by a trusted local partner. This final step not only provides a sleek, professional appearance but also adds an extra layer of protection against corrosion, ensuring that the HD 1911 disconnector meets the highest standards of quality and longevity. The lower spade features a small 0.006 inches corner radius, preventing the disconnector from gouging into the trigger bow and enhancing overall functionality The disconnector is engineered with an increased height to prevent contact with the sear pin This design is crucial for trigger adjustments below 2-1/4 lb, as even minimal friction can be detected The ball head has been incorporated to eliminate the "click" commonly associated with 1911s, which is caused by the head moving back and forth within the frame hole Typically, gunsmiths stake the frame hole to minimize this movement in an effort to eliminate the click The geometry of the disconnector has been modified to prevent it from being triggered when a loaded magazine is inserted This modification addresses the risk of accidental discharge during reloading with a live round in the chamber, thereby providing an enhanced safety upgrade for your 1911
