Clockwork_O Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I want to fit a silencer on my Unco PGC dx TM 1911 , is the PDI Silencer adaptor a good solution? It's cheap only 12,50 $ but is it reliable? Will it give no problems firing when I add a silencer on it? Does it just fit on the outer barrel or does it need modification?

hkssr20det Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 It requires an extended inner barrel. But it does allow cycling with no problems. Link to post Share on other sites
ruchik Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 What shaped hammers can I fit onto a TM M1911? I'm pretty sure the grip safety doesn't allow the use of anything but spur hammers, but I've seen oval hammers fit over standard grip safeties. Can they and ring hammers work?

r.ocelot Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 You need to either dremel the top of the hammer, or modify your grip safety into a delta styled one. Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I do have a KM Ring Hammer on my TM Delta with the stock government style grip safety, actually this is the second one I have set up like this. It works, but I would prefer a Delta Duck Tail safety or a Beaver Tail. Tanio Koba is supposed to release new controls for the TM. Ambi safeties, beaver tail, flat msh, silver Kimber style hammer. I have a link in the News thread. Link to post Share on other sites
Clockwork_O Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Will the pachmayr American Legend Grips fit the TM 1911 or do they need modification? Greetings Milan Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 They might need a little modification (ie opening up the grip screw bushings) but they fit. Link to post Share on other sites
RockDog Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Will the pachmayr American Legend Grips fit the TM 1911 or do they need modification? Greetings Milan Mine fitted straight on Milan, had them fitted within a few mins. Link to post Share on other sites
Clockwork_O Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Ok thanks, I just got them this weekend and this evening I'll have my PGC'ed TM 1911, looking forward to add the American Legend grips on the 1911. Greetings Milan Link to post Share on other sites
RockDog Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 no probs, think there is a pic on here of mine fitted somewhere Link to post Share on other sites
RockDog Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Well...the pgc delta frame kit and a few little extras arrive today for my 1911 conversion. Im still waiting on the high flow valve and chamber so cant really get started yet, but it looks daunting I can tell ya. So does anyone have a full 1911 strip down guide hehe Link to post Share on other sites
Clockwork_O Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Rockdog I just ordered myself the Unco Delta Elite custom. How is the finish of the silver metal? Good luck with installing all the parts. Greetz Milan Link to post Share on other sites
RockDog Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 Well the finish is nice, but I have managed to forget how to reasemble the hammer mech after trying to change the hammer for a custom one, guess im buggered Link to post Share on other sites
lawofthirds Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Quick question: If I get real steel novaks, will they fit a shooter's design hi-capa slide (Doing a hi-capa slide conversion on a 1911a1) or will I need a new dovetail cut? And FYI: While the story that the US army got the .45 to stop the philipinos is charming and makes alot of people laugh, it's completely false. The cavalry was the dominate force at that time and they wanted a replacement for their hard to load, 5 shot (you did not carry them with all chambers loaded) colt SAA revolvers but they didn't want to give up the stopping power of the .45 colt revolver round. The .45 was designed to put a horse down with one shot, which is why the testing for the weapon was carried out on *gasp* horses and cows. The fact that it puts down drug crazed tribes and crackheads is just a nice side effect of its horse stopping power. Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 The Hi Capa slides are cut for Bomars. A Novak will not fit, plus you will need to clearance the bottom of the rear sight to clear the blowback unit anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

lawofthirds Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Source for horses vs moros (name of the tribesmen in the Philippines) is Gun Digest Book of the 1911: Volume 1 by Patrick Sweeney. Pages 12-13 to be exact. If you're at all interested in the history and current production of the 1911, both volumes are a great read. While the cavalry was not really involved in the conflict, it bears mentioning that the sidearm of the rest of the military was the primary weapon of a cavalry man while on horseback. There was no doubt that the 9mm round available then was a man stopper, we're still using it today and it was available in the best military sidearm of the day (previous to the 1911 of course), the 1908 luger. However, 9mm won't stop a horse in a timely manner. Where the popular belief in the .45's origin came from is the officers writing home about how their .38 revolvers (even more anemic then in their current incarnation) were failing to stop a drugged up moros without expending all 6 shots. The british of the same time period required their officers to supply their own side arm and most chose either a .455 webly round or the huge .577 Next question, similar to the previous: What beavertail grip safeties will fit on the Marui 1911?

Romulus Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Very heavily modded RS ones... I have yet to hear of any others (though that doesn't mean they are not there) Link to post Share on other sites
lawofthirds Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Good to know, a modded RS is definitely within my budget. You wouldn't happen to know what style fits best? Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I chose to use a Wilson Combat drop in model. Just be sure it is cut for the notch back frame of the standard 1911, not the round back frame that the Hi Capa uses. It takes a great deal of fitting to work. Not for the light hearted. Check the 1911 thread I just dropped a few initial pics there. Link to post Share on other sites
lawofthirds Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Very nice Delta Elite you've got there. Any chance a wa beavertail or a hi-capa beavertail might fit more with the contours of the frame? Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 No, because those guns (if they have a beavertail) will have the rounded rear frame. This is how Wilson chose to clear the notches. Link to post Share on other sites
davedawg123 Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 It should be possible to modify Hi-capa beavertails to fit, but you'd need to round down the frame's pointy tang. Link to post Share on other sites
CplHicks Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Can anyone confirm that the Proud Meusoc grips will fit a TM 1911? Link to post Share on other sites
