YES, THIS IS NOT A "FORGED & CNC-MILLED HAMMER" & IS THE LOWEST PRICED HAMMER THE "SERVA BOY'S" OFFER !!!! BUT FOR 99% OF THE 1911 SHOOTERS, THIS HIGH-QUALITY PART IS ALL YOU NEED. JUST STONE & POLISH THE SIDES, HAMMER HOOKS, FACE, & THE NOTCH WHERE THE STRUT & SWING LINK FITS INTO THE HAMMER. SO IF BUDGET RESTRAINTS ARE AN ISSUE, PURCHASE THIS HAMMER, PREP, & INSTALL WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE---OORAH & SEMPER-FI !!!!!
