1911 19lb. mainspring failure

The primers are seated fine. just like I've been doing for 35 years. The hits on factory ammo looks the same.

 

Anyway EGW agrees with the advice here. I was shopping for a firing pin, and right in their specs it says they don't make that part in Ti because they are known to give misfires.

Does the Springfield full size R.O. have the same size Ti firing pin as the Commander length Ronin?  Both are .45ACP

EGW says Springfield should be .075"

I figure SA uses them across the board.  

Cheaper than a mechanical firing pin obstruction if you want to sell in California.

I talked to a tech at EGW.  He said that on top of the Ti firing pin, Springfield now uses a way overpowered FP spring to pass the California drop test.  He said that Wolff and ISMI extra power FP springs are just right, just use a steel firing pin.
