Ok, why does the vise need to be angled to cut the sear scallop?
Can you please show me a picture of one of the many sear scallops that you have cut so I can better understand what it is?

He never said anything about a disconnector cut, he said slide scallop which to me means anything the way people misuse terms around here. Hell I thought he meant slide serration.

And yeah you need your vise set to an angle to cut that disconnector scallop anyway. 90˚ is an angle.

And I don't take pictures of every single project that come in the door either,

I take a 3/8" 90 degree boring bar with a 3/16" bit that has been ground down
and lay the slide on its side to mill out the Disconnector scallop. If you use the right size Key cutter you need to grind down the shaft for clearance. (just my easy way of doing it)

And if you don't have a selection of necked back cutters in your tool box you never worked in a job shop.

That was my first thought as well and if you google "1911 slide scallop" it's what comes up.

[Sigsour7]

if you know 1911's, you should have known what scallop he was speaking of even before scrolling down.

I got your scallop hanging

Cutting sear scallop in slide 1911

he said slide scallop

Reading is fundemental:

Cutting sear scallop in slide 1911

He said SEAR SCALLOP.
There is only one scallop in the whole slide that he could be talking about.

I never worked in a job shop and I STILL have a selection of cutters that I have custom clearanced to fit into odd spots.

he said that in the title of his post which I will admit I don't read. because the real information should be contained in the body of the text not the title.

but from the way people repost crap on FB I guess I'm opposite of most. I read the body of the message no the title.

So you just click on topics without reading the topic title?

I read the topic titles to decide if it's something I am even remotely interested in before I open the topic.

Ah, missed that previously...how do they do the DA ? There was a Seecamp conversion years ago, but it was pretty complicated how the rear was cutout and the DA trigger was connected together.

Is this Para LDA simpler?

On the Seecamp conversion there is always somebody eager to say it is a solution to a non existent problem and I have no desire to argue the point.Those of us that have one appreciate the fact that the double action cocking of the hammer has zero effect on your original single action trigger. I have never shot a double action pistol that had a single action trigger like a 1911. Not yet anyway. Mine was a collaboration between Louis Seecamp and Austin Behlert. Austin Behlert made my 1911 into a really nice compact pistol.

The Seecamp is liked by many, and I think it's an interesting design, but it's a tad complicated to build and parts are difficult to find, make that nearly impossible.

Seecamp only makes a .380, AFAIK, and doesn't make a 1911 anymore.

LEO and CCW were both fond of the DA Seecamp. You're lucky to have one, IMO, not so easy to find these days.

Technically, the slide scallop is for the disconnector plunger
on the series 70 & 80 1911's...No ?

I also believe on the Para LDA's they use a Shwartz type
firing pin safety...No ?

Maybe I should start drinking, lol. I also thought the OP
meant slide serrations when he mentioned slide scallop
Initially, etc.

I know Colt was the first to use the Shwartz firing pin
safety system in their .38 Super 1911's right before
WWII...Now, Kimber still uses that same system, but
there may be a few others that still do as well...Colt
eventually developed the series 80 version decades
later IIRC.
