Nice FBI Special. Was it you who asked for the right movie prop M13-Holster? What make is the holster? Galco, Bianchi? I searched myself but did not come to a conclusion.

Regarding the Hurricane Kimber SIS on Page 106:
The Original also has this kind of grayish and glossy finish … looks like some powdercoating.
Hurricane maybe made it a bit too gray for my taste. But otherwise kit is nice. But a pain to make it work … at least on my model.
Nice Springfield: The Hammer is nice, wasn't this the kind of hammer on the MEU Type No.1 (first model with high profile sights)?
I would think over the beavertail. This Hicapa 4.3 doesn't fit a 1911 frame. feels like chopped off a piece and unbalanced. With a nice Springfield type beavertail would look pretty nice.
You like the old style A1 mainspringhousing? I feel on a nodern sighted (Novak or other sights) 1911 the straight hammer spring housing fits the look better.
And trigger is not my taste eighter. But the nice thing about all of that: Taste is not to discuss. It's just the way one personally likes things.

Colt grips on a Kimber are not sexy … but they work.
Maybe have a look on VZ grips. I myself had a very pleasant outcome wiht my first order. They deliver for Nighthawk Custom and others. Maybe an option.Choosker, shure I guess you can handle the gun. No doubt. It though is not optimal to dissable a safety feature. But I guess you'll run fine with the rubber. But nice 1911 on the out of the holster look.

CKinnerley, beautiful Hurricane Covert-Set (or is there a native WA model?). Everything fitted well? I had lots of trouble with my Kimber SIS kit.
But you should definitely upgrade the grips. Those plastic cheapy Colt-Grips are not suitable for a high grade custom Kimber.
Choosker, wtf is this rubber thing for? Buy yourself some propper grips. Then you don't need those stupid frame condoms that disables the main savety feature of your 1911 (therefore the gun is always hot and likely to go off, if cocked and thumb savety not active). There are a lot of propper and even aggressive grip cuts that work well with normal and sweaty skin and with gloves. The G10 Gunner grips and the equivalents by VZ grips are extremly aggressive (good for gloves). But nice WA Wilson Combat there. Good to see those in action.

Damn it. How can you post such a beauty worth more than my car? Can't stop drooling on the P228. This could only be topped by Prime lowering the sales price for their P229 kit.

Its just a Colt M1991 (updated 1911 system) Officers Model with some nice grips, shouldn't be too hard to get a WA or MGC Officer and put some of those grips on it.
I'd love to, FireKnife. But that's very difficult over here to get any of those versions … another story. I've seen the MGC version. Very nice. The finish of the WA looks amazing. And performance will be solid. So not bad WA made this model decission.
cool-breeze87, if I had the decission, I'd make Mauri speed up on the S&W M&P and Springfield XD rather then discovering the compact 1911 segment. Because WA and others offer short options. No one offers a good GBB M&P model (without CO2 of course) and a XD.
-
I guess cool-breeze87 meant a full metal kit. This S&W was available by Western Arms as stock ABS version. And I guess I saw a reissue of this model on the WA site some time ago.
Son of a holy cow: searching for the S&W pic I saw, WA released the absolutely cool 1911, Al Pacino carried in the movie HEAT. Damn it, I need to have this gun …
If I remember right, someone posted pictures of his built version of this gun here at Arnies. But I can't remember who it was. Beautiful model. I'd love to see more pictures of compact 1911s. I like them.

Yes. You are only allowed dummys. Without giving light … better be lucky that you dont' have to deal with such ######.
Yes, slidelock lever comes with the light and is extra long to fix the light on both sides to the frame. Fit without modification, but the slide doesn't lock yet on my model, but you can push it into place. I guess it will wear off with time and then work nicely.
Anyway this is more a show-off and display setting, as holsters for R310 are hard to find these days. So not really practical lights for gaming. The new Surefire and M3/6 lights are a better pick for players. But I like the look of the old Surefire, that's why I got one.
-
My latest addition … TM MEU stock, plenty scratched, custom Kimber Trigger, original VZ grips and VFC Surefire R310 clone (dissabled according to German law … what a pitty but worth the looks … a long dream comming true):
-
Simple solution to that. Look here:
Marui G17 with Guarder G17C-Slide in a G20/21 Serpa …
For some reason Marui Glocks out of box are more fat than originals and therefore don't fit real steel kydex holsters (I have two G-Codes … what a pitty). Guarder and some other metal slides keep the dimensions, PGC slides and few more slim a Marui Glock down to fit those holsters. I myself just picked a bigger holster which is available for Glocks. KWA Glocks are small enough to fit most real steel holsters.
As this is a picture thread, here my second one … a KWA G19 with PGC slide in a G-Code
-
Nice Vickers Tactical kit. Grips are a bit faint. The stainless bushing is a nice detail.
-
The Nightwarrior is a nice 1911 model. what a pitty Marui made shortcuts with this stupid screw-on rail and put this strange marking on the slide. Kinda ugly. Sights and stainless bushing are nice details on this gun. And the kick of this GBB must be quite strong what I see from clips.
The workover of the grips looks interesting.
-
Thanks.
I did not intend to make it look real steel, I just placed the rounds for decorative matter to get a nice scene. Well spotted
-
Sweet G-Code, master_titled. Spotted rarely. Nice pick.
-
Very nice collection. The ported model above is very sweet.
Well, I've received some nice little shipment of grips, so I took the chance and made some pictures of my current 1911s (2 Marui MEUs with G-Code, a Marui Kimber SIS with Bianchi Accumold, WA Wilson Combat DSD with Uncle Mikes):

Nice work. Did you have to work on the grips in the hammerspring area?
-
Nice P229, kingdong. The scratches seem to say "metal". Is it a Tanaka ABS gun? Or really Metal kit?
-
Nice Koba, Drake.
-
Beautiful work on the G19. Congratulations. Good result.
-
Wow,the P228 is a beauty. And very costworthy. I can say I really envy you.
-
Did you guys already see, that WA is producing a KAC Knighthawk, too? Seems WE was faster for one time
-
Try an alternative to this plastic grips. Original might be hard to get (I have to know, I hunted down a pair … expensive hobby
). Maybe Simmonich/Stryder G10s, VZ grips or Pachmayrs? 
Original Warrior G10s and very orangy Proud copies.
My stock Warrior with Pachmayrs. Eighter for inspiration or confirmation that you don't dig the all black look
-
Collector's pieces. WA obiosly sees a market for that …
$520 on Dentrinity for this Texas Ranger 1911 … but really nice you have to admit
$418 for the Infinity Tiki
A WA MEU on Redwolf actually vor $325 … maybe pimped up or special edition, who knows
And a WA Shorty for almost $300 bucks … what the hack …
But this are some rare extremes. At the moment WAs still level around $ 180 to 250 average.
-
WA has reissued the Wilson CQB model lately … price seems moderate compared to the newest special editions pricing around $550 and the Carbon models grouping around $330 … quite intense price policy:

Nice. It's funny most Hicapa users are eager to get rid of the square trigger guard. And you put it on your black Warrior with the rail extension
