1911 Disconnector Cut

[AxeHandle]

Here is a good one for you 1911 guys. You know that little hickup you feel when the slide goes forward and slide bumps when it runs over the disconnector? This gun does not have that characteristic bump. This modification is credited to Bob Marvel and as such is generally called a "Marvel Disconnector Cut." FWIW this gun was originally done by a couple of the 1911 sacred cows. I sent it to a real paper puncher builder and spent a chunk to buy a new barrel and having it properly fitted. Added the disconnector cut at the same time.

I put one on a 9mm and a 45 build so far. It is supposed to add smoothness to the cycle to aid in consistancy. It was initially implemented by S&W on one of their autos and Marvel started doing it on 1911s.
