Cliffor Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) So how hard is it to put a hi capa 5.1 slide on a 1911? Is it just a matter of putting in the spacer and all the original pieces, or is it more complicated than that? Also, Where do I find a TK slide spacer in the first place? Sorry if it's been asked before, but I searched and couldn't find a clear answer (Or maybe I'm just thick). Edited March 13, 2009 by Cliffor Link to post Share on other sites

The slide it's working even without the slide spacer but for the maximum fit you should buy it. Dentrinity have them but they are out of stock; check WGC. Link to post Share on other sites

SamJacksonFan Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) Come on, dude, you cannot post something like that.

frogfish Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) Man you keep ticking me off with that V10, I've got a Wilson TSCG but I can't seem to track down a metal lower for it.... My googleFu is sucking it up as of late... It is just beautiful btw, If I didn't have this TSGC I'd be begging you to sell it. I do have one question though what grips are those? Also I'm a newb to upgrading these things so if you have any recommendations I'd gladly take them. Edited March 14, 2009 by frogfish Link to post Share on other sites
davester00 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Junior that's a hot aZz V10. I had no idea they made those in black with a rail. Do you mind listing your external parts list! You got me all V10 crazy now. I just love those ports. "mother and child" Link to post Share on other sites
SamJacksonFan Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Oh, nice, another rarity … Wilson V12 Gilded … stock I guess? Tracked down a metal gold kit for that by chance … could buy a car for the price the shop wants for it But real nice bling thing there. But I'd personally go vor the V10 … little, nice and mean. Damn, now everybody brings out its beauties … Link to post Share on other sites
junior Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) Thanks. I've had her in pieces for a looong time. It's good to see her come together. Parts list; WA .45 Shorty base Shooters Design V10 Slide Prime Tommy Franks Railed Lower Prime V10 Steel outer barrel Prime Steel MSH CP steel Hammer/sear CP steel hammer strut CP steel firing pin CP hopup NOVAK grip screws WA Wilson slide stop Proud real grip bushings. SD POM Loading Nozzle Pearce Compact rubber Grip insert VZ Operator style grips (Stooped into buying them. Not authentic) Duracoat Paint job (Matte Black) Insight Technologies X2 Cool thing about that V10, is I started building it when V10's were impossible to get. So I had no V10 as a base gun. Almost every piece was bought seperately. Some pieces I even had to get custom made like the recoil rod bushing... Edited March 15, 2009 by junior Link to post Share on other sites

-=OGGY=- Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Guys does anyone know what version 1911 Clint Eastwood uses in Gran Torino? Just a regular 1911; in the movie he was said to have served in Korea, meaning he would have been issued an origional 1911. Link to post Share on other sites
leon_london Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Cheers guys, Would you recommend the KSC 1911 or the TM 1911? Unless theres another descent version I've missed? Link to post Share on other sites

ThaFlash Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Western Arms. They are more than decent. Link to post Share on other sites
leon_london Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Thanks for that, I didn't even think of WA. Wow there are a few versions of the 1911 to say the least! I dont suppose you happen to know the exact model im after? I'll find it, im just not sure on the version as none of them seem to just be a standard M1911. Link to post Share on other sites
ThaFlash Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 now don't kill yourself This picture needs more appreciation. This is pretty much what I want my next project to be except I'm thinking of making it on a 4.3 slide, bobtail frame and adding ports. The Tiki markings, 45 degree cuts. Beautiful. 100% Unicorn of a pistol. Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 also pretty pricy...that I think is a ~$1500+ kit... Link to post Share on other sites

This should work: http://www.boomarms.com/sc/viewproductdeta...p?ProductID=312 Just take not of the trademarks, small trigger, flat hammer, and small sights. Typically if it has all of those things (like the gun in the link) it is the 1911 you're after. Link to post Share on other sites
wwjkc Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) racingmanic and TheFlash this thing? so if you change everything, then yeah, it's $1500 gun if you just want the kit (slide, frame and barrel), it's $1000, but it's out of production Edited March 17, 2009 by wwjkc Link to post Share on other sites
