5 installed...2 Failures (so far)...Junk
These appear to be exactly identical to the ones factory furnished with a Sig 1911 Ultra Compact and identical to the Chip McCormick Shooting Star pads...they are NOT. When the front third of a pad cracked and fell off I thought I might have overtorqued the screws. Replacing the pad and very carefully tightening the screws resulted in another pad fracturing and separating (overnight, not immediately). Both times the mag was loaded but not fired. Not impressed! I'm installing the remaining pad...three usable out of six (so far)...not good odds. The factory pads and McCormick's pads have not failed.
