WOW! That's a sweet deal for what you have then - you took a basic but solid quality 1911, added some nice upgrades that turn it into IMO a more functional pistol, and you did it for not a lot of extra money out of pocket.
That's considerably less than what I have in either one of my DW 1911s, and even with adding a couple of other parts - magwell, sights - it would still be less than my DWs. Then again my DWs are really really nicely fitted - I could learn how to do that kind of refinement though.
Exactly! My grandfather was a great mechanic. I would watch him work on his dump trucks as a kid and remember asking how he knew how to do all of this stuff. He always taught me to never be afraid to take something apart, fix it and reassemble. He said, it was created by a human. He said just understand how mechanical things work, take your time and don’t cut corners and things will work out.
Ha, joke all you want but for people that carry a gun for a living, lighter is better. I remember how great it was going from my heavy Beretta to my plastic Glock. Much lighter and easier to carry, much better for extended searches/stand offs.
And don't you prefer a plastic gun that inflicts the same damage at a much lighter weight?
How did you mount your dot to that plate? I have the same model and I've been dealing with some bs trying to adapt it to an rmr footprint optic I got
Paid CHPWS $200 to make me a custom plate. You might contact them to see if you can get them to do a custom run for you, too:
