Here is a picture.
You can view the plunger on the bottom of the slide when it is locked back, or pull the slide off and look for the level that moves when the trigger is pulled. Kimber drives it off the grip safety on some of their pistols.

Springfield Armory 1911 clones use a 9 mm titanium firing pin and an extra heavy firing pin spring to be in drop compliance. The reduction in the mass of the firing pin plus the light weight of the titanium pin works well. When owners start replacing firing pins with a stainless steel aftermarket ones it leads to problems. I build custom 1911,s and every body wants that 2.5 lb trigger and you can only cut a sear and hammer just so much then you have to start reducing spring pressure and increasing mass in the pin weight.

If you are stock I would say you are pretty much safe at this point.

In that area, lowering the hammer springs in the P 64 under 20 lbs can result is a very hairy single action trigger pull to under reasonable limits and the recoil could cause a double or triple fire. So this need to be paid attention to.


It must always be remembered that when altering the original design of any handgun there are collateral actions that are affected.

I have a question, how do I find out if I have a series 70 bbl. I have a Springfield that was suppose to be a civilian copy of the FBI pistole when Springfield got the FBI contract. If I remember they had to pass a drop and drag test before the Feds would consider a purchase. I'm just curious about the series 70 etc. I trust my pistol but I really don't want to drop it anywhere that might damage my firearm or cause harm to others by accident.

Got a pic of this blinddog? Does the serial # start with FBIXXXX?
