Description
This is the Mini Upgrade Kit. If you take a tune-up kit and this kit you’ll get our amazing full Upgrade kit. Perfect for new builds or restoration projects alike this kit is compatible with all 45 ACP 9mm and 38 super 5″ 1911 models of common make. There is probably some custom $3k 5″ 1911 that may use different parts but for the Rock Island Armory Kimber Springifeld or Caspian builds out there this will work nicely. Below is a description of the parts that you will receive in the packaging as pictured.
A piece of advice – Be careful of grip screw bushings on mass produced 1911s. Many are softer steel and may be overtightened from the factory. If you “slip” the tool removing the bushings and shear the top off stop. It’s not too late for a gunsmith to remove the part at a low cost. The further it breaks from here on the worse the repair bill will be. Additionally only tighten the grip screws to be snug. They don’t need “torquing” to keep the grips in place. Tighten too much and the threads on an aluminum frame will give. The repair choices are an oversize bushing or new frame neither being fun.
