TMC 1911 Barrel Link #3.5 – Precision Half-Size Upgrade

TMC 1911 Barrel Link – #3.5 (.2805″)

Achieve precise 1911 barrel timing with the TMC #3.5 1911 Barrel Link. When a #3 link runs too short and a #4 runs too long, this half-size link fills the gap perfectly. Consequently, it restores proper geometry and ensures smooth, reliable hammer and sear engagement, giving your pistol optimal performance during every shot.

Precision Manufacturing

TMC carefully spot-drills, reams, and chamfers each barrel link, then engraves its exact size for easy identification. In addition, TMC machines the link from heat-treated 4140 chromoly steel and applies a durable blued finish. Because of this combination, the link provides long-lasting strength, resists wear and corrosion, and maintains consistent function over time.

Key Features and Benefits

The #3.5 half-size link fine-tunes 1911 fire-control geometry when standard sizes are insufficient. It ensures smooth hammer and sear operation, supports reliable cycling, and restores proper barrel timing. Moreover, its engraved sizing simplifies installation and identification during custom builds or competition setups.

Compatibility

This barrel link fits standard 1911 pistols and works well in both custom and competition builds. Additionally, it pairs with most factory and aftermarket hammers and triggers, making it a versatile upgrade for a wide range of pistols.

Why Upgrade Your Barrel Link

Incorrect barrel link length can disrupt timing, reduce accuracy, and increase stress on critical components. Installing the correct half-size link restores smooth unlocking and locking, improves barrel-to-slide lockup, and enhances feeding reliability. It also reduces stress on barrel lugs and the frame, prevents binding and drag during cycling, and extends the life of key locking surfaces. As a result, your 1911 performs consistently, reliably, and accurately.

Summary

The TMC 1911 Barrel Link #3.5 delivers precision fit, durable heat-treated steel construction, smooth hammer and sear engagement, and engraved sizing for quick identification. Although small, this link plays a critical role in ensuring your 1911 operates at peak performance for duty, competition, or custom builds.
