How to Replace the Ejector- SA Prodigy and Other 1911 Style Platforms
Did you just break your ejector on your Springfield Armory Prodigy, 1911, or 2011 pistol? Or are you wanting to upgrade the MIM ejector that came with it? Either way, most of what you are about to see is applicable with some exceptions, of course, and I'm sure you can figure it out since you are willing to do the work yourself. Did I mention that this was my first time doing this? If I can figure it out on the fly then you can as well. I have faith!
Most of the work performed is with basic tools with the exception of one, the Dawson Precision Ejector Drill Bit ($8, part# is in the video) that I used to drill out the pin slot on the EGW Extra Long Ejector #10011. This bit is designed specifically for this purpose and is reversed cut so it helps pull the part tight to the frame. I still used a small vise to make sure though.
Time expected to do the work: a lazy afternoon.
Platform: Springfield Armory Prodigy 1911 DS 5" (4.25" would be the same)
