Show some 1911 love!

[Matt1911]

I'll start:

My stainless Springfield GI model..... well, it used to be GI.
I installed a Cylinder & Slide 4.5# trigger pull kit and a S&A beavertail then I had it sandblasted. Mikey Cyrwus installed the sights and thumb safety and then guncoated all the black parts for me.
It's far from finished, but I'm happy with it so far.

Mine started as mil spec Springfield 9mm. Mike fit the bevertail safety, Dove tail front sight coated the lower. Toothman did the bomar rear sight. Stan did the slide coating. I put all Nowlin Parts in it.

To this

And Finally

I'm not real familiar with Detonics. Why is the rear sight so far forward?

Here's some info & history on the Detonics: http://www.biggerhammer.net/detonics/

The back portion of the slide is sloped. My understanding was this facilitated concealment, particularly on the draw. The rear sight is at the apex of this slope.

Hey Burk, Where'd you get the UBG Canute from? I have been looking for a nice IWB.

 

[Burk Cornelius]

I bought it directly from UBG. $70 Three weeks.

That 2011 STI is pretty sweet, did you do that one?

yes, some machining, internals and refinish.

The only refinish only guns up there are the kimber and the para.

Here's my custom blaster. I'm going for the "I just pulled this thing out of a lake" look.

These are awesome!
The melt job on the sights in the first pic is a nice touch.
