Springfield Armory Lightweight Ultra Compact - 9mm

Springfield Armory LW Ultra Compact with the following modifications:

- Ranger Cocobolo thin stocks
- Ed Brown checkered mainspring housing
- McCormick thumb safety
- Ed Brown steel firing pin
A look at the other side shows scuff marks from the old ambi safety are still visible

9mm Springfield 1911s are prone to light strikes. I've found the cause to be their titanium firing pins (top 2 grams). Replacing them with and Ed Brown steel firing pin (bottom 4 grams) put an end to all of my light strike problems. NOTE: Springfield  uses "special" size firing pins. Brownell's part #  087-205-826

I bought a pair, only 17 serial numbers apart, but as you can see
I trimmed them out a little differently.
