Hero-Gear: Hero 1911 CBOB (Pics)

[Guest JHatmaker]

I was able to pick up my 1911 from Hero-Gear today. Barely made it out there with the weather, pretty much hydro-plained all the way out there.

I had the chance to shoot it a couple weekends ago before it was "officially" ready, and it didn't disappoint. Great trigger action, and fit and finish is top notch.

The color is Mil-Spec Grey, but it has a green tint to it which turned out better than I thought it would.

Man, that thing looks sweet!

Can you order one without the "HG" on the rear part of the slide?

Congrats Hatmaker, that is one fine 1911

[Guest Moody]

WOW! That thing is awesome. Great coloring, and I love the slide (top serrations longitudinally).

[Guest Plainsman]

Very nice! Thats a fine looking 1911! I'm sure you'll get a lot of enjoyment from that one!

[jtluttrell]

Love the texturing.

I don't think so. It seems like I asked that way back when I first ordered it, and Jeff (their 1911 gunsmith) mentioned all the slides come that way.

Sweet!! Do mind telling the features and mods to it? Rough pricing? I'm looking into a full-size 1911 next.

[MacGyver]

That's a good looking pistol! If it shoots as well as mine, then you should be supremely happy.

I just went from 6 to midnight. Sexy pistola.

[Il Duce]

that is stunning.

Its an option, but will contribute to much longer lead times.

Full zoot @ 1899.00

Minor pricing adjustments for things like threaded barrels, light rail, etc.

Thanks. Will try to get down in next few weeks.

[ShamGlock]

That is a great looking gun. Congrats

That is a sweet looking gun Jhatmaker. Bet the wait only made it sweeter upon bringing it home.

[Mark A]

man, I've never been a 1911 guy but that is a seriously sexy looking pistol.

[Guest JHatmaker]

Thanks for the compliments fellas.

The wait definately made it more fun waking up today knowing I was going to pick it up. Rain be damned.

As far as the specs on mine (or what I ordered):

Novak Night Sights (Trijicon)

Bobtail

Chainlink back strap

The rest comes standard; slide indentions on top, front strap checking etc. You can spec these out to the limit. Like Bryan stated in his thread, they really did an outstanding job, and this thing will be way more accurate than I ever could imagine being. It's awesome having local/TGO vendors who can produce such an amazing product.

This one is definately going to get a lot of carry time.

I want the Tennessee flag patch.

They'll hook you up and make you a convert...

[Guest oldsmobile98]

Wow. Very, very, very, ... uh, very .... nice pistol.

[Guest JHatmaker]

I ordered that off the Internet, some lady hand sews them. I'll find the info and shoot it to you (unless you were being sarcastic )

[SmokyBaer]

Very nice looking 45. Anxious for the range report.
