Sherlock Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Can anyone confirm that the Proud Meusoc grips will fit a TM 1911? I'll let you know over the weekend or early next week. Mine are at customs now. Link to post Share on other sites
Sherlock Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Proud Meusoc grips. They do fit (picture in the 1911 pictures thread) but you need to drill the holes out and if you want the screws to sit flush then you need to recess them from the top a little more.

This is the same for WA Marsoc grips if anyone is interested Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 But with WA MARSOC grips, you can use the WA weights. Link to post Share on other sites

ruchik Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Well, I'd say the 1911 is close, but not quite the kick of the DE. The 1911 has a snappy kick, while the DE feels like you're shooting a howitzer. I found the 1911 to have good gas economy, with very similar range and accuracy to that of the DE.

Wege Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Sooo... what are you trying to say? [/Cable Guy] that there was a 'subtle' difference.. that I could not quite put my finger on it. And in all seriousness. I think that the DE is marginally more accurate than the 1911 purely because of less lateral and vertical movement in the barrel, just that it (the DE) can be far less 'mobile' purely because of the bulk of the grip/frame of it. The lack of point-a-bility and greater bulk can make the DE seem less accurate though, IMO. The DE is a hand-held sniper-canon. Link to post Share on other sites
RockDog Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Hi all Right I have just got my TM1911 with PGC Delta frame put together, it works great with the nineball recoil rod and original outer barrel. But when I fit my SD chamber and outer barrel the slide recoils back ok but doesnt go all the way back to the start. It sits about 3 mm off where it should slide forward to, stopping the pistol from firing a second time. I cant see why its causing the problem. This also happens when I fit the outer barrel supplied with the PGC frame. Can anyone shed any light on this? I really want to use the SD one as its silver and is threaded for a silencer Many thanks Link to post Share on other sites
davedawg123 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Did you do any fitting for the slide and frame? I had to file down the contact area between internal frame mech and the blowback mech for my Prime kit. Too much friction and it will bind. Link to post Share on other sites
RockDog Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 yeah Dave I did, that all seems fine to be honest. I may need to get an experts eye to look over it as its my first mod to a airsoft weapon. So I may be missing something simple! Link to post Share on other sites
Romulus Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 It's not a bad idea. My Delta is currently spending some time with hkssr20det getting fine tuned. There's somethings that you just have to see done first. Link to post Share on other sites
gunnermaniac Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Hi guys, you all seem like pros on what to get for the TM 1911, so could you tell me (I am buying one soon) what kits you would reccomend and are they hard to get one, I want something a bit different, like some kind of metal slide and some different grips. Could someone give me any reccommendations. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Wege Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 I recommend using it first. If you like it and want to change it, THEN start hunting around. It may be that you absolutely hate using it. Link to post Share on other sites

I may need to get an experts eye to look over it as its my first mod to a airsoft weapon. So I may be missing something simple! With these latest generation of PGC kits, the leg of the chamber often needs to have material removed from the bottom of it, otherwise it exhibits the behavior you mentioned (giving away secrets here). You should also bevel the chamber locks inside the slide so it doesn't bind on the top as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Its times like these where I wish I was in the U.S so I could call upon your skills like Rom. Will let you know how I ger on. Many thanks Link to post Share on other sites

Same question with the grips. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
krame Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Some hammer questions for you guys. I was browsing x-fire and saw this,'rearless hammer'. I personally think it looks really good and makes the gun look clean. Whats everyones opinion on it and does anyone actually have one. I'm thinking about using it with my delta kit.

Utty Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Some hammer questions for you guys. I was browsing x-fire and saw this,'rearless hammer'. I personally think it looks really good and makes the gun look clean. Whats everyones opinion on it and does anyone actually have one. I'm thinking about using it with my delta kit. I've been looking at the same thing - looks good, looks clean, seems practical. Since you can't decock the 5.1's hammer with your thumb anyway, may as well ditch the hammer spur. Have you ever used the half-cocked feature? I sure haven't. There's really only one thing holding me back (besides paying 50 bucks plus shipping plus import tax for a friggin hammer), and that is the resulting appearance of the gun. A 1911/2011 with no hammer spur? When you can have this? Dunno man... Put the rearless hammer on a 4.3, sure, that gun is all business to begin with, may as well make it look even more like a Glock. But on a 5.1? That gun is made of pure sechs, and it needs a big chrome hammer sticking out the back, or it'll be neutered. Either the ring hammer or this. Link to post Share on other sites
lawofthirds Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Big reason for putting on a spurless hammer on a real 1911 is for concealed carry so it won't catch on your clothing. It does look kinda odd on the 5.1 but on a 4.3 or chopped gun gun it might look pretty snazzy. Link to post Share on other sites
Romulus Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I agree that it would look cool on a 4.3. However, one has to wonder about the practicality of now being able to hand cock a single action gun... Can Hi-capa 5.1 parts be used in the 1911-A1? There are many parts that are interchangeable but not everything. Link to post Share on other sites
