TMC 1911 Barrel Link #2.5 – Precision Half-Size Upgrade

TMC 1911 Barrel Link – #2.5 (.2755″)

Achieve precise 1911 barrel timing with the TMC #2.5 1911 Barrel Link. When a #2 link runs too short and a #3 runs too long, this half-size link fills the gap perfectly. Consequently, it restores correct geometry and ensures smooth, consistent hammer and sear engagement, giving your pistol reliable 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 delivers long-lasting strength, resists wear and corrosion, and maintains consistent function over time.

Key Features and Benefits

This #2.5 half-size link fine-tunes 1911 fire-control geometry when standard sizes cannot achieve proper timing. It ensures smooth hammer and sear operation, supports reliable cycling, and restores accurate barrel-to-slide lockup. The engraved sizing simplifies installation and identification, making it ideal for custom builds and competition pistols.

Compatibility

The 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, offering versatility for a wide range of pistols.

Why Upgrade Your Barrel Link

Improper link length disrupts barrel timing, reduces accuracy, and stresses critical components. Installing the correct half-size link restores smooth unlocking and locking, improves barrel-to-slide lockup, and enhances feeding reliability. It also minimizes binding, reduces stress on barrel lugs and frame, and extends the life of essential locking surfaces. As a result, your 1911 cycles smoothly and performs consistently under all conditions.

Summary

The TMC 1911 Barrel Link #2.5 delivers precision fit, durable heat-treated steel construction, smooth hammer and sear engagement, and engraved sizing for quick identification. Although small, this component plays a critical role in ensuring your 1911 operates at peak performance for duty, competition, or custom builds.
