SIG may roll this new slide pattern into the STX and the couple other 1911s still being made.

You mean with the optic cut? Maybe. I think they'd be better off doing this gun in 9mm.

Yes.
Yes and no? There's some debate on what "standard rail" is. Do Kimbers, Springfields, Caspian guns all use a common rail? If so, then it seems SIG is the odd maker.
Edited to add...
What might be kind of useful is some sort of "pencil launch" height stat.
How high will a 23# hammer spring and steel pin / standard spring toss a new and un-sharpened #2 pencil?
What about a...
I'd say anything that is closer to the primer (and held by a spring alone) is going to be less safe based solely on the proximity to the primer. It may be possible to find a spring and long pin combo...
Nothing is failsafe. With firearms in general and 1911s in particular.

The current pattern grip safeties with the large pad above the mainspring housing are much easier to deactivate.

In a stroke of good fortune, my extra MAC / Tisas firing pin came in today's mail. The length and weight of this one is the same as the one posted above. That's encouraging to Tisas QC I'd say.

Then the next question would be how much longer and then when does the length alone become a concern. Or does it?
My small sample indicates that 2.29" is not uncommon. 2.31" from Ruger may be a...
All four guns pass the pencil test although it seems the Ruger and MAC launch the pistol the least. Mainspring weight across the guns is unknown.
I suppose a next step would be to buy a Wolff XXP...
I posted this info in the Staccato C thread but it applies here too.
Random firing pin lengths and weights.
Ruger titanium. 32.1 grains. 2.29" long
Tisas/MAC titanium. 34.4 grains. 2.31"...
Here's some random firing pin info.
Ruger titanium. 32.1 grains. 2.29" long

Springfield Armory steel. Series 70 rear profile. .070" tip. 63.9...
Did he call out Staccato and Atlas specifically? I thought he said some makers are using longer pins without naming any specific brand(s).

Yes. I think the light pin and heavy spring is probably an acceptable option. There may even be a newer more better combo of firing pin spring, hammer spring and light firing pin that Staccato can...
That's more a marketing and then department requirements thing. Glock pushed the "safe action" deal pretty hard when coming to the American market. Yes. The Glock is probably as immune to rough...
Here it is decked out in all its glory.
I also have the C&H ACRO plate and had sort of planned on using a C&H Duty here. Budget gun with budget optic and all that. But the Duty is too wide to fit...
If you want an inexpensive 1911 that's probably as drop safe as any 1911, this might be your best option.

For a civvy I'd say the worst case scenario would be a drop from the top closet shelf. What's that going to be? About 2M I'd say.

I saw a Ti pin also stick forward in the breechface. It just took a tap with a cleaning rod to pop loose. Spring backwards or something related to titanium?

Here's a new Ned video showing the issue of timing with the Kimber / Swartz safety.

The next question would be; what does Ruger use now for FP springs? Something akin to the Wolff XP or something else entirely?
As I mentioned before, Ruger is quite risk averse. Also, being a...
I called Wolff this morning to ask about the XXP spring. The nice lady I spoke to told me the spring is meant for use with a steel firing pin. It may or may not work with Ti. She guessed that there...
Mags, as noted already, have been a weak point. That didn't change overnight with the switch from STI to Staccato. Staccato is now on its 3rd generation of mags. Rumor is (probably true) that...
