Officer’s 1911 Mainspring Housing Cap Pin – Carbon Steel | Blued
Precision Fit, Heat-Treated Strength, and Long Service Life
The Officer’s 1911 Mainspring Housing Cap Pin – Carbon Steel – Blued secures one of the most critical internal systems in your pistol. Because the mainspring assembly directly affects ignition reliability and trigger performance, this precision replacement pin ensures exact fit, hardened strength, and long-term dependable function for Officer-size 1911 pistols.
Over time, factory cap pins often bend, loosen, or wear. Consequently, the mainspring housing may lose proper retention, leading to inconsistent operation and reduced reliability. Fortunately, this heat-treated carbon steel pin restores correct alignment, tight fit, and smooth operation. Therefore, your pistol maintains consistent performance even under repeated use and high round counts.
Precision Swiss CNC Manufacturing
Exact Dimensions for Reliable Installation
Each Officer-size mainspring housing cap pin begins as high-grade carbon tool steel. Then, expert machinists cut each pin on Swiss CNC screw machines to achieve precise dimensional control. After machining, every pin undergoes a multi-step finishing process designed to maximize durability and performance.
First, centerless grinding guarantees exact diameter accuracy. Next, full heat treatment and hardening significantly increase strength and wear resistance. Finally, a durable black oxide blued finish protects the surface while maintaining smooth engagement. As a result, the pin installs cleanly, seats securely, and resists wear through extended shooting sessions. Thus, your mainspring assembly functions reliably shot after shot.
Built for Strength and Long-Term Reliability
Maintains Proper Mainspring Alignment
Unlike soft factory cap pins, this hardened carbon steel pin resists bending and pin walk under recoil. Consequently, the mainspring housing stays properly aligned and functions as designed. Furthermore, the hardened construction prevents mushrooming and loosening, which ensures consistent mainspring pressure and smooth operation over time.
In addition, every pin meets or exceeds manufacturer specifications, therefore providing dependable performance in both duty and competition pistols. Because of this, you can rely on your pistol’s internal components, whether at the range, on duty, or in a competition environment.
