FireKnife Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 First of, my Series 70 in Magnum P.I. Confuguration (not intentional): And then my attempt at a kind of post-apoc 1911, made of bits and has received much use by me: 'FireKnife' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 What brand is the gun, and what brand is the compensator ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ED-SKaR Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Its Fireknife, he only buys proper airsoft 1911s, so it'll be a TM. No idea about the comp though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Aye, aye it is a TM As for the compensator it is the Madbull one that you get on SG guns etc but modified to fit by Elite Shooting Centre, they have both silver and black and have cut the lug that locks the bushing into the slide so they fit near perfect. Gives a nice look to the guns, though not sure which it looks best on, will have to get pics up. 'FireKnife' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aitch Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Those compensators are terrible, being locked to the slide they look god awful likely why there's no pic of the slide being locked back Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 True they are not the best when locked back, but as it is a show piece I am not too fussed. Plan to make this into a modern style Hyman Lehman custom 1911, with a compensator, 10rd mag (as TM don't make longer ones) and some form of rail mounting and grip.

Aitch Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 TM do make longer mags, 40round ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Yes, the 40rd mags, which are based off of a real world 10rd mag 'FireKnife' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aitch Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 (as TM don't make longer ones) You could have been more specific as in "don't make longer than the 40 round mags" I work in airsoft terms as does my brain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Meh, for a Hyman Lebham custom it would need the equivalent of a real world 22 round .38 Super magazine, again best TM do is a 10 / 11 round style .45 mag. Then again I am in two minds about those mags, good capacity but they stick out a fair bit and use a pinned mag system, not too keen on that for cleaning and repairing purposes.

Aitch Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) If you weren't so tight you'ld have owned a WA buy now and they have pinned mags, very easy to work on with the right tools and skills. Edited October 8, 2012 by Aitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I've never got the appeal of sticking a big lump of metal onto the front of the slide. Surely it has a negative effect on cycling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 If you were looking for a gun to pose with than actually shoot you'd have owned a WA buy now and they have pinned mags, very easy to work on with the right tools, like everything else. Yes, you are right Aitch. I've never got the appeal of sticking a big lump of metal onto the front of the slide. Surely it has a negative effect on cycling. Actually the compensator is reasonably lightweight and has no noticeable affect on the cycle speed, it still returns as quickly as it did before, in fact it does give a firmer return to battery when going from a slide lock reload, unless you are pointing it straight up, but then why would you be doing that on a reload?

Aitch Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 You can't help yourself can you? Well I'm taking my last WA out to test before I ship it off, all TM for me now but I wont be an arrogant **** and say I'd never use/buy one again because TM "AM BEST" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tell me when you work it out. Next post will have to be a family pic of my 1911s, seeing as the Detonics is absent from the other ones 'FireKnife' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrManiac Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Wish someone would come out with a standard commander length slide with standard barrel and bushing (as opposed to the coned barrel) that would work on a TM/KJW frame. Yes we can but hope In the meantime I make do and customize my own... All are just standard TM 4.3 slides with bushing notches and chin cuts added and serrations plus markings filled. The outer 1911 style barrels, guide rods, springs, plugs and bushings have been cut down to suit. All work fine even on Green gas all year. A lot of custom work I grant you but until some manufacturer comes up with a decent Commander slide we have to grin and bare it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfgeorge Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 The latest addition to my pistol collection.. V10 w/ TF frame I put the V10 slide on the frame of my first TF and too some pictures with it! And a group photo of my compact 1911's Wolf 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
