Found my new love

[Guest 1911Girl]

Bought this yesterday, did a few changes, new screws and grips (until I find rubber ones for it) I absolutely love it, and my husband then went out and bought himself a 1911 but a Springfield GI. (Mine is still better) Can't wait to carry it!

Not bad at all,I realy like the OD Green frame,have you shot it yet? just remember to break it in(at least 300-500rnds.) and make sure it functions right,and get some good mags.Wilson Combat,Chip McCormic power mags..ect.

Nice 1911. You should do a side by side comparison of your next trip to the range, both of you shooting each others guns. I've always wondered how much better gun you get for every extra dollar spent. Thanks for posting, Kevin

Well done. All you need now are extra magazines, ammunition, appropriate safety gear and range time.

Some new hogue G10 extreme grips (in the right color) can make that pistol come alive!

I am looking for the rubber grips and going to paint them a OD color maybe, I love it the only issue we had was that extractor problem mentioned on the fourm, his 1911, I hate the trigger, hate the "thinness" I love my 1911. Here is a his and her photo.

Mine (Hers)- THE BETTER ONE on bottom

I bought it used he got his bran new for about 800, his didn't have a issue with the extractor, but my trigger is much easier I feel like on his I had to push my finger into the frame to shoot it and it was much more difficult (you can see trigger difference in photo above)

We both had good groupings, his 1911 (the top) does not have safety on both sides, the Kimber does. The Springfield does not have a beaver tail like my Kimber Warrior, and no night sights my Kimber does.

I took the grips off the Kimber because the tan was ugly. he took the slide off of his and put a ithaca gun co. one from like war world 1 he thinks it looks "bad ass". Mine weight maybe a little but more.

Internally his slide is to small for my kimber, so everything in that area will not work. Just diffrence between KIMBER and Springfield.

ALL IN ALL

He choose what he liked and was comfortable with and I choose the one I liked the most.

Don't paint it, you should be able to find one that is already done for you... such as...

VZ Recons

Just be prepared to wait to get them... all good things take a while to be made and ship (such as the crossbreed supertuck!)

[MarkInNashville]

Nice gun, glad you've found one that you like!

[Guest WingMan380]

Congrats!! Nice lookin gun you have there.

[BigK]

Nice guns. I like them both. If yours had his finish...I'd call it perfect.

Congrats ! I know how you feel. And that is a very nice sidearm.
