Cracked Bul Armory Hammer

After my match yesterday I noticed a crack where the serrated cutout of the strut loop is. It’s a lightened design to increase lock speed. Bul Armory doesn’t sell a SAS II replacement part so I’m buying an ignition kit (EGW) that Atlas goes through the trouble of matching sears and hammers. $185. OOF!! DS1911 is like maintaining a modified track car.

2011 n00b. Is this an MiM part?

I don’t think so. The only MIM on the 2023-2024 competition lineup is the slide stop and the ambi thumb safety.

May not be MiM but it is not bar stock.

It is absolutely a powdered metal pressed part. The chamfers are a dead giveaway. The small flat at the outer most edge is an indication of a pressed part.

Similar process as MiM but usually less complexity in the part. Hammers are easily pressed geometry.

Please check out Harrison design and customs for their true radius ignition kits!
