Re: 1911 Pictures!!
No problem.
The stainless spring plug from my S&W is a bit different than the ones in the Springer GI models, but this should give you a pretty good idea of how it'd look ...

Dude, Youre awesome! Thanks!!!
Not a bad look, adds a bit of custom to it I think!

Re: 1911 Pictures!!
Yeah, that combo looks a lot better to me than just stainless bushing with a parkerized spring plug like on the SA Range Officer.
So what do ya think, you like it enough to make the change?

my 1911... nothing special, no mods, just a SA 1911 in SS.

Re: 1911 Pictures!!
I agree... I think it looks good and is a nice break up.
Every gun I own is black except the 1911 and a Glenfield Golden "50" I got when I was like 10 years old.
It could probably use some upgrades, but I actually wanted a 1911 in the spirit of the original. rock solid reliable with 10 yrds of accuracy...

Re: 1911 Pictures!!
I've also come to appreciate the simplicity of the GI and Mil-Spec models. I see the OD green Springer GI model in my future...

Re: My latest aquisition ... Limited Pistol
Strayer & Voight Infinity is a better pistol especially when you can already order a Sight Tracker Barrel with it out of the box. Plus the Owner Brandon Strayer is a very very cool guy and carries great customer service...
I'm going to build my Edge into a SVI copy ... Plans are SVI aggressive mirco pocket grip and custom Sight Tracker Scheumann AET barrel. I'm also building a SVI open slide in 9mm to fit this STI frame...
Actually if you can afford it and your patient enough... I would go with a full custom full stainless steel SV Infinity Pistol... I couldn't stand the wait of 8months when paid in full or 12month wait if you only pay deposit.astroboy said:.

Re: My latest aquisition ... Limited Pistol
two issues buddy:
first, my budget. second, i am from CA. i do not know which one is worse.
but both factors basically limit my choice. but like what you said... if i am
patient enough. it seems that i have no other choice but to wait.

Re: My latest aquisition ... Limited Pistol
Strayer & Voight and Bar-Sto Precision are the only ones on the Nazi-Fornia Roster... STI is no longer in the roster... But even then theres ways around that...
Strayer & Voight you can order the .45 Goverment from them and re-ship it once DROS'ed and swap it to any calliber you want with any modifications you want except for the thread barrel ...
So basically its down to one limiting factor, budget...
Like I said if your patient enough... You can do a deposit on a Strayer & Voight Infinity and pay it off monthly till shes ready. But, I myself couldnt wait... If you ready let me know I can help you get an STI if you really want one...

Re: 1911 Pictures!!
Sweet! Great lookin shooter you've got there.
I love my Kimber. Just a heads-up, make sure you wipe down your barrel with oil every time you handle it. Kimber uses carbon steel on their barrels and any left-behind moisture from your hands will cause the barrel to rust. There's no feeling like looking down to see a perfect fingerprint rusted into your barrel. The barrel on mine gets a good coat of Barricade each time before reassembly...
