Additional Information

The Type 3 recoil spring plug was introduced as part of a series of refinements in later-era Colt 1911 production, designed to simplify manufacturing while maintaining reliability. Unlike Type 1, which had no tab, and the Type 2, which had a square punched tab, the Type 3 features a rounded punch tab to help the spring from ejecting into someone. This version became the standard on many post-war military and commercial models, making it a historically significant and factory-correct replacement part.
