DAMN YOU ARNY068! I got all the way to you're post thinking nobody else had a Tac Carry!

 

I've just swapped mine, but i've got a pic of mine when I had it somewhere, I'll post it when I find it! Lovely guns...

 

And my old WA Elite IA which I foolishly sold, although I'm a Beretta man again now :)

First foray into Western Arms .45's...

 

105-0556_IMG.jpg

 

I sold it off after awhile, the fit/finish was nice for the most part, but I didn't like the trigger guard/grip plastic, and the Prime silver slide I put on it scuffed too easily, a lot more than I had expected. Still, it didn't reach it's full potential, I should have upped the hammer spring and slung some .3's out of it with hfc22... I bought it at a time when there were no single-stackers readily available from retailers, just SV's and Paras, neither of which I'm a huge fan of. Still the SCW SVI Expert series looks nice, it'd be cool to try one.

 

Modern 1911...

Classic 1911...

The MEU has a PGC slide with Springfield Armory trades (Springfield Operator - I couldn't find any of the 1st run MEU slides left), and the 1911A1 has the PGC slide/frame kit, metal chamber, and a Sheriff LRB. Thankfully the 1911A1 came preassembled - this gun would see a lot more use if I could find some good instructions on how to replace the firing pin (and if I could get off my @$$ and place an order for a Gemtech lanyard - even with a good triple-retention holster, I'm not going to take any chances, I wouldn't want to lose it). Mine is starting to show just a bit of wear, and I'd like to know how it is replaced before I go crazy putting it to use. Can someone point me in the right direction with some SCW ver. 1 firing pin installation tips? I've read a bit on some other forums before I had this in my possession, now that I can actually visualize it with the assembled product in my hand, I believe I could get it done.

The LRB is a cool accessory though - my inner chamber is swapped for a Magna version so it can fit; the barrel gives a good range improvement. You can float a .3 out to 190 feet or so with only hfc134a in 70 deg. F weather, and the trajectory is almost perfectly flat, but the velocity is pretty comical (impressive?) when it arrives - having the pistol fired at you, it definitely leaves some time to get out of the way. Still, the consistency seems to be a lot better than the stock barrel at range, when compared to the MEU, with its new 'easy to adjust' hop system, there are definitely a lot less rogue shots hooking left, right or down with the LRB. My WA's are my favorite pistols, but I think the stock hop system even in the SCW's is definitely lacking. IMHO, the simple set hop in a TM M9 beats any WA hop hands-down at gaming ranges (60-80 feet).

SD magna hybrid top end on single-stack IED. Grips were changed from these ugly Wilsons to something else, then the gun was disassembled and the hybrid slide is lying in a parts-bin at the moment :P
