Hmmm, I have never heard of this mod.  Could you perhaps post a short    
description?  By the way, I have no problem with a hammer dropping control, 
I just don't want to have to use it for a safety :-).  I wish they could 
make a 1911A1 with a button somewhere (perhaps in front of the rear sight,
or maybe in front of the slide release) which safely drops the hammer.  Now 
THAT I would buy.
