I received this link via latest Brownell's newsletter. Thought it might be enjoyed by some of you guys that own a RIA.

I read this also. It got me to thinking that one of these new pretty good looking Firestorm (Armscorp) 1911's could be had at a price where making your own 9mm conversion topend would be educational and fun.

I don't think the firestorm is armscor. The firestorm 1911s used to be made by LLama. They were modified 1911s with external extractor.

Thanks, Good info, I've got an older Charles Daly 1911 A1. Done some tuning to it, but no customizing. I think if I took on a project gun, I'd be tempted to get a Springfield.

Nope, Armscor is making a new Firestorm 1911 and I had my hands on one, stamped Philipines on the frame, NIB. The slide is the same sans sight as the STI Spartan. Gunblast may do a review on it.
