Parsley Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) guns like that, romulus, is the reason i hate you.... *fruitcage* awesome do they get used? thanks Edited May 5, 2008 by Parsley Link to post Share on other sites
hkssr20det Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Rom shoots his guns, believe you me. I fit the Beavertail and it was a solid few hours of grinding and test fitting. Of course it does look good....probably worth it. Link to post Share on other sites
Romulus Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Thanks folks. hkssr20det is right, I do shoot my guns (even more now that I am doing postals). It is true that I don't skirmish with the Delta (I hate using single stack mags) but the 1911 is best for target work anyway. Back when this gun was built the NOVA beavertails hadn't come out yet so my only option was to do a custom one (TM or RS). It might not be worth the trouble now but it was then (I still like knowing that I have custom fit RS parts though). Link to post Share on other sites
fal Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Nice gun Romulus. Love the PDI ring hammer. I too don't favour much using TM single stack for field. Just due to the fact that it cools down too much. I frequently use them on the range though, which is perfectly fine. Link to post Share on other sites
Romulus Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 The ring hammer is very nice. When I had hkssr20det install mine a while back he lic=ked it so much that he bought another for himself. In my mind the only thing that a 1911 is truly good for is as a custom range gun. I'm thinking that I should buy another mag so that I can shoot postals with it. Link to post Share on other sites
oray Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I envy this : PGC Colt Delta Elite 10mm Auto Outer Barrel (Black) I'm searching the black metal one (with 10mm markings of course) for the WA one, but no luck. :( Link to post Share on other sites
Romulus Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 I think that the only 10mm barrel out there is the black one (like I have) that comes with the TM PGC kit. I was wishing that SD made a 10mm chamber so that I could swap over to steel for more weight. It is pretty lame that no one else does 10mm chambers. Link to post Share on other sites

Plymouth Roadrunner Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Last time I checked Paras were 1911's... just double stack. All thats different is the frame and mag really. Link to post Share on other sites
birchm Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Last time I checked Paras were 1911's... just double stack. All thats different is the frame and mag really. The way I look at it, if it has a modular polymer frame it's a 2011, if it has a metal frame it's a 1911. Personally I would have gone with a darker color on the paint, anyway how do you like the SD frame? Link to post Share on other sites
oray Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 My Delta Elite (WA) Thanks a bunch to ben (hkser220dt) for recommending me upgrade parts... Sorry 'bout the cheesy tagline.

junior Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Nice paint job on the Para Plymouth Roadrunner. Oray, is that V10 RS or airsoft? Nice pictures. Link to post Share on other sites
oray Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 @Junior : Airsoft It's an SCW3 one, just for the sake of authentic markings & finish.. Here's some more of its beauty : Link to post Share on other sites
junior Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Sweet. In that other shot it almost looked black. I just got rid of my other stock V10, but I did like the new markings, and the fact that they gave you a stubby springfield style ambi safety this time around. The metal outerbarrel is definitely a plus. I cant believed I spent $100 from boomarms just for a prime outerbarrel . When 2 weeks later this gun was announced... Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Yes, that other shot was created under minimal lightings, not actually intending to create a black v10, though. hahaha..But most of the time you can have 2+ kind of colors from a same gun with lighting play with your camera and lighting equipments (and maybe some Pinotoshop) If you didn't point it out I wouldn't ever know that older V10's thumb ambi safety is actually different than this one! Nonetheless, I saw your V10s and I'm a big fan of them Your dedicated custom works and the results really deserve a 'wow'! Does anyone here has a 1911 (airsoft) with ambi safety that has no tang on the right side? I would love to see it! Edited May 9, 2008 by oray Link to post Share on other sites
