Nowlin .45 ACP 1911 Firing Pin, Commander

The Nowlin .45 ACP 1911 Firing Pin for Commander-frame pistols (Nowlin part no. M45) is a precision-machined replacement firing pin built to restore reliable primer ignition on a worn or pitted factory pin. Over tens of thousands of strikes, a firing pin’s tip can peen or wear enough to cause inconsistent primer strikes and occasional light hits, especially on guns that see heavy competition or duty use. Nowlin manufactures this pin specifically for the Commander-frame firing pin channel and .45 ACP firing pin stop geometry, machining it to tighter tolerances than many factory-replacement pins. This is a straightforward maintenance part worth keeping on hand for any Commander 1911 that sees regular use.
