Suburban Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 wow pre-order so, Which parts are improved then marui Colt 1911 ? -Beavertail grip safety - gets your hand up higher on the grip and keeps the web of your hand from getting pinched between the hammer spur and rear of the grip safety. -Lightweight trigger and hammer -ambidextrous thumb safety The real guns are pieced together from what's available to the armorer. Some have modified old 1911/1911A1 frames (I think), some may be Springfield frames, they recently the started using Caspian frames. Slides may be Springfield, Caspian, or other. Thumb safeties are usually King's ambi, but they're not always available. Magazines are probably slightly longer 8-round, rather than old flush fitting 7-round, so that may explain the slightly higher BB capacity. Link to post Share on other sites
fal Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I think he actually meant what's been improved in "airsoft" terms? Link to post Share on other sites
Monk Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 This probably a very dumb question, but Ive had various results from different places ive ordered from. Do you think the orange coming on the gun will be on the barrel itself (like the more recent marui m1911a1 I received) or painted on the top of the slide? I prefer the former, but I just wanted to know if it varied from distributor or whatnot. Also, do you think the trades will be removed? I couldnt see if they were accurate to the springfield or not. I just dont want them melted off. This depends on where you get it from. Some exporters spray the barrel and slide, some do only one. Oh, and some will melt away any bit of writing on the gun. Varies widely, as these things are not done at the factory. Ultimately, it doesn't matter, as the only sensible thing to do is order a full metal kit as soon as possible and throw away those skeezy plastic parts. Link to post Share on other sites
masakarijoe Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 im not kidding about what im about to ask... would someone be willing to part with the box from their meu, when they get it? i already made my marsoc, but id really like the box that the tm meu comes with, without buying the actual pistol... if someone is willing, please pm me -Joe Link to post Share on other sites
Kai_Wolf Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 So the gun is supposively coming out today? I went the another sight and "residual time' was 16 days still. Not sure if that made sense, but I would hope RW is releasing it sooner, if not today. Link to post Share on other sites

masakarijoe Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 its getting hard to keep my promise of NOT buying this right away... my plan is to buy 4 mags now (from whoever has them in stock first) and buy the pistol in a paycheck or 2, from the US (ASGI?) but damn i want this now... sexy -Joe Link to post Share on other sites
Manxmadman Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Just checked Redwolf this morning, the TM 1911 MEU is now for sale for $152 TM 1911 MEU TM 1911 MEU Mags (though not yet listed as in stock) Surprised I was the first to notice this with all our news hounds about.

Sale Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I just got to handle one. The box looks really cute. I'm usually not that much into the packaging thing, but the light desert colors are a change from the dull dark colors you normally see. The finish of the pistol is much less plasticky than the TM 1911. The MEU looks more like (although not exactly) like the WA Carbon Black finish. Very convincing, although it's a bit light at 850 grams. The safety is ambidextrous. I have been holding back from buying a TM 1911 because I knew the MEU is coming out. I'm definitely getting one now. -Sale Link to post Share on other sites

MBKs? -Joe p.s. im still looking to get a box from one... Link to post Share on other sites
Sale Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Masakari: I didn't notice anything striking, except for the fact that the sights mount in an entirely different way. The sight compatibility is the only thing I'd worry about. -Sale Link to post Share on other sites

davedawg123 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 sale: is anything about the pistol seemingly different from the A1? what i mean is, do you think that it is compatible with A! MBKs? I think the frame tang will be different so there will probably be issues with the grip safety. Although, I'm wondering if the MEU beavertail grip safety would be compatible with the Nova modern kits for the A1. Link to post Share on other sites

The Thief Lord Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 That really has to be one of the most beautiful pieces I've seen from TM, now it's just another thing to weigh out the pro's and con's with both the TM G17 and P226.
