What is the TJ'S CUSTOM - Frame Slot Filler, Standard, .057"?

TJ's 1911 Series '80 to Series '70 Conversion Shims© (Frame Slot Filler) replace the gap used by the "Colt Series '80 Firing Pin Block Actuating Levers" when removed by gunsmiths for crisper trigger pulls.

It is nessessary to fill this frame gap so the sear will not wander over and lock up the sear / trigger mechanism.

Shim/slot filler fits in the frame cutout, permitting Series 70 slides and components to be fitted to Series 80 frames. No alteration, drop-in fit.

Available in the standard .057” width, as well as .065”.


SPECS: Steel, in the-white.

Shim Spacer fit perfectly
Purchased this shim spacer for my Colt 1911 lightweight commander and it fit perfectly and did the job as advertised. My trigger pull went down close to 1 lbs and a lot smoother. If you have a standard series 80 1911 whether Colt or any of the clones get the standard size .057 shim.
