Drops right in.
Fits and functions perfectly. Hexagonal head easier to use than the standard straight cut for a screwdriver

Should be the standard
High quality finish. Looks great on any SS pistol. It's shiny, so it may not matchup well with matte/bead-blasted finishes. The hex head appearance looks clean and matches the other standard hex heads screws already on your pistol, and no more deformation of the flat head lock. With the more common place of hex screws on 1911's these days, this ought to be the standard. Not sure why all big manufacturers aren't offering these. The only "Con" I can think of is that my Caspian pocket tool did not have this size hex on it.

Excellent Product For The M1911
Perfect fit on my Rock Island Armory M1911. The stainless looks good agains the parkarized finish. Still working on customizing my pistol. Recommend this product wholeheartedly.
