Goes BANG like supposed to
Replaced the factory firing pin that was starting to annoy me with too many light strikes. Added this pin and replaced the spring with a lighter one, changed the mainspring to a Wilson Combat 23#, Wilson Combat 16# recoil spring and guide rod assembly, Wilson Combat Match grade trigger, a Wilson Combat sear spring. After a bit of fine tuning, it dropped my trigger pull from 6.5# down to a flat 2#.

Fits Springfield .45 GI Mil-Spec
Following the advice of others with experience I used this 826 in my older SAI GI 45 that has a proprietary titanium firing pin. I installed this with Wolff springs as follows. Extra heavy firing pin spring 16# recoil spring 19# mainspring I also changed out the mainspring cap and added a MS cap retaining pin to do away with the Integral Locking System. All this reduced recoil and took the trigger pull from 5# to 4#
