Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware CP was back in the scene now. They haven't been active for quite a while, and they were very strong in the WA area years ago.

As for the knocker, there is nothing wrong with it. We've designed it so that it can be used with both Hi-Capa and 1911.

There is extra room at the front-bottom of the knocker (where it hits the valve.) This is to allow room for customization, as high level smiths tune the height of their valve knocker, and doing it this way allows for maximum contact with the valve. You just need to file a bit of material off the bottom edge of the knocker to allow it to slip past the edge of the valve. Thus, it is now given room to drop down when the hammer is cocked back (after magazine is inserted with hammer down.) Will take some photos for you later.
