1911 under construction....

[wrenchhead97]

Well, I bought Glocking's RIA 1911. Already, I have had it apart a dozen times, and am working on it in my spare time....

DONE, Trigger job (3.5-4lb and VERY smooth!!!!), refit for Kimber style dovetail front sight, dehorn slide, SLIGHTLY bob hammer (It bit me...), replaced mag release with extended version.

IN PROGRESS, Custom leather inlaid grips, custom paddle style holster out of matching leather, refinish slide (Hard chrome or re Parkerize it?????), build up thumb safety to an acceptable width that I can fit my fat thumbs on, new sights (Fusion fiber optic front and Fusion Novak style adjustable fiber optic rear.)

TO DO, extend grip safety (Custom build beavertail with different profile and "speed bump".), cut more off hammer, get grip safety hammer trigger and slide release hard chromed, extend mag release, and I think that should cover it.

Thoughts??? Suggestions??? Let's hear em.

Those grips look pretty nice.

Thanks, they are a work in progress, but they feel AWESOME for someone with fat hands and long fingers like me. The gun is MUCH easier to control now.

She shoots beautifully GK, I put 110 rounds downrange in about an hour at Stones River last weekend.

[Guest GlocKingTN]

Glad to hear it! I knew it would.

So what gun is Glock sporting now?

[wrenchhead97]

I think has another piece of tupperware, but I am not sure.

[TGO David]

He already got rid of the 1911?????

[wrenchhead97]

Yeah, he wanted to get something he could pack a lunch in, then shoot, then after he gets home, he can put leftovers in it.

Not too many suggestions, thats probably what i'd buy preinstalled on the pistol. You could put a bar-sto barrel on it for better accuracy. Could change the sights to something heinie straight 8's.
