1911 Disconnector

As noted, the 1911 disconnector is essential to the safe and proper function of the pistol. The easy explanation is that the disconnector exists to prevent the pistol from firing a round before it has been fully chambered or while the slide is out of battery. As you would expect, a cartridge being discharged while the slide is out of battery can wreak havoc on not only the pistol, but the shooter and other bystanders as well.

So how does the 1911 disconnector work? Located in the grip of the pistol adjacent the sear, the disconnector acts on the sear in a manner that prevents the hammer from falling in case of a trigger pull while the slide is out of battery. Once the slide moves completely into battery, the disconnector is forced upward into a machined recess that resets the sear and allows it to once again be manipulated by the trigger. This newly-manufactured part was manufactured to mil-spec 1911 specifications and features a black oxide finish. Note that some gunsmithing may be required for a perfect fit in your pistol.
