Sweet, I love showing off my 1911s! Both Kimbers obviously, the 5" went off to tripp research for hard chrome a couple years back since the original finish was worthless and I'm not a big fan of rust. The UCII is my carry gun currently, until my G26 is ready to go.

Someday I'd like to send this one off to Hilton.
This is my Smith and Wesson 1911.
In Massachusetts handguns have to be approved by the attorney general for sale so I could not buy a Kimber or Springfield.
Smith and Wesson offered the first MA legal 1911 and I pre-ordered one right away. Unfortunately I did not wait for a model with a light rail.
So anyways, here it is SW1911 with factory Novak sights and (2) Wilson Combat eight round magazine.

I added a Hogue full wraparound grip and (2) ten round McCormick magazines.
I like the Hogue wraparound grips, they allow me to handle the recoil extremely well.
In the future I will add a new mainspring housing with an recessed lanyard loop;and maybe a Safariland 9004:D

My Kimber Custom Stainless.
Almost stock... Just a different grip and mags. Over 2000 rounds easily and runs like a raped ape!

I have been seeing a lot of WC mags. Anyone have any problems with them?? I have had one 10rd mag go down on me, but that is it.

It probably just needs a new mag spring. I'm told WC ten round mags are notorious for wearing out springs, especially if you leave them loaded for long periods of time.Quote:

I've used only Wilson 8 rounders. Very little problem with them. They function great. Like most others, the only problem that I have is when the spring is weak, it won't lock the gun open on the last round.

I'll chip in.
Here is my primary carry piece. All the work was done by Ned Christiansen, it is almost perfect (for me).

Bigbore,
(As in ADCO, Bigbore?)
Nice Rock River 1911. It looks well used.
Which model is it?
Did you do the mods to the magwell?
Regards,
Jim

One of mine by Don Williams at The Action Works, scallops by Chuck Rogers. It doesn't look quite this nice anymore, it has been run hard and it has a liitle holster wear but it still shoots better than I can.
Steve.
Edited to add sorry cant get the pic to show here's a link
Same Bigbore, I’m not a paying advertiser so I’m posting incognito, but don’t want to be called a troll, so I stuck with the name which, those who know, know….Quote:

Everything was fit nice but the edge of the thumb safety wasn’t as comfortable as I wanted, so I took a file to it and reshaped it to my boney hand. It came with a standard flat MSH, but I installed and ground the extended S&A MSH/magwell as I wanted. I say “ground” because it was “ground” and not “fit”. If you like clean meaningless lines on a 1911, you’ll hate this, my concern is function.
I replaced the stock barrel/bushing with a 6” KART barrel and bushing that I “fit” to the slide for the suppressor. It looks like hell, has a ton of holster wear(I practice from the holster), but it works great. I’ve basically retired from 1911 shooting (my wrist can’t take it), but I’m doing a lot of shooting with my weak hand now, and the suppressor really reduces the recoil making it pleasant to shoot again.
The light rail came from Yost-Bonitz, and its another recent add on.
Nice set up Steve.
I still wish Crimson Trace would offer their grips with no angle cut at the bottom. Although only for looks, I think they'd look alot better if they fit flush against an S&A magwell.
Edit to fix dumbness.
bigbore,
It looks like good, honest wear.
I've heard that Rock River builds their 1911s tight, but I have never seen one to know. I have also heard that they are too often over looked.
I like the way that you've set it up. Thanks for sharing the pics.
Jim
My POS overpriced Wilson Service Grade Protector that never had a malf that wasnt related to a mag gone bad, works no matter how dirty, has never had a broken part, and shoots more accurately than I can:

Yes, you probably figured out who the internet persona I use on the other forum is when you saw my pistol. Please don't hold it against me! I just troll over there and argue these days....
I have a second, simpler 1911 based on a Series 70 Reissue coming before October, this time built by Jason Burton at Yost Bonitz. I guarantee you will see pictures, as this is part of a new project there....I have probably said too much already.
heres one i just refinished for a freind Hay Snipe ya lookin ??

Why isn't this thread a sticky yet?
Damn Glock fan Moderators. :p
Here’s my recently de-Schwartz-ified TLE II. It’s nothing special.
It’s an earlier version with internal extractor. I recently got rid of the Schwartz type firing pin safety. After hacking through the Mepro rear, I replaced the rear sight with a Novak plain 0.125 rear. I also replaced the Kimber two-piece full-length guide rod and plug with Ed Brown units.

Dave, very sweet indeed.
Hint: That baby deserves it own thread. ;)
:D
Craftsmanship like that deserves to be recognized.
I'll have a few other MEU(SOC) replicas (a squad?) done soon and I'll start a new thread with them.
10-4, that sounds great.Quote:
