Correct me if I am wrong but I don’t believe MTH has ever included fixed pilots with the -1 models. Not only that but I believe they are difficult to get from MTH parts.
I agree with the above. If you can get the -2 model by all means get that version. I bought a -1 GP9 with the intention of fixing the pilots (the -2 pilot was not included) and it was a lot of work to fix. I think it only looks okay. Of course I didn’t have factory parts. If I thought I could have gotten the factory parts I would have went with them. It’s better than a swinging pilot but not as good as a factory -2 model or some of the work others on this forum do.
