Description
The Armorer Block is the culmination of years of tinkering on the 1911 and getting by with a box of tools and fixtures that didn't quite do what I wanted.
This 4"x4"x1.25" block is CNC machined from super tough nylon, and will give years of service. Whatever you might wish to do to your 1911 or 2011 using hand tools, this block will help you do it. The block comes with removable hammer and sear fixture pins.
Some of the built in features of the block (see photo gallery):
- Hold barrel for link pin removal/installation
- Thumb safety fitting, clearance cut, and detent face tuning
- Mainspring housing assembly/disassembly and MSH cap pin holding
- Hammer/sear engagement observation
- Hammer link pin removal
- 2011 Spring guide disassembly/reassembly
- 2011 Grip Rest for MSH pin removal
- 2011 Frame rest for grip module removal
- 1911 Frame holding on either side, via grip screw bushings, with plunger tube and mag catch clearance
This block is so handy it is even used by Colt in their 1911 armorer courses!
**Not compatible with Officer's/Defender, EMP, and other shortened 1911 single stack frames.

Every 1911 owner needs one
Wonderful tool, well thought out, well designed, intuitive. You can tell it was designed for 1911/2011 owners by 1911/2011 owners. Wonderful addition to my tool collection.

Must Have Gear
As a gunsmith I use this armorer block on a daily basis. I liked the one provided by my company so much that I bought one for my home workshop to work on my own guns. I have used, and destroyed, many blocks over the years but this one seems like it's going to outlast them all. Solidly built, well thought out and highly recommended.

Best one I've purchased yet. Helped me fit an Atlas thumb safety. Looking forward to getting many more miles out of it

Lack of confidence in working on your own things? This helped me be a lot more precise and careful while modifying and fitting parts.

Armorer Block
At first this block seems expensive but after having the opportunity to use one it is worth it. It was created for solely for the 1911 and if you work on one it is would be the one block you need for all.

Great product. Was able to install my very first thumb safety without trashing one.
