DeltaZero Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Trouble is you can never expect perfect finish from 3D printing unfortunately due to the nature of the process. When they finally nail it Kens stuff will be even more awesome! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wingman Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 If he can make a commander slide that can take Wilson style sights and the metal barrel bushing (for TM/KJW brands at least), he will have a new customer placing a couple of orders. While I'm fully invested in my "full metal" pistols, I still have a some stock TM that I still shoot with the stock slides. In fact I just bought a new ASG/KJW CZ P09 that came with a plastic slide ( very heavy and dark earth color) and it is rated for green-gas! Everything else is the same as the standard P09 and even the sights and outer barrel are metal. Slide speed is much faster. Would live some 1911 slides (5 inch and Commander length) that could do the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 If you sand the raw finish and duracoat it, it will look nice. A little work is required with these. You can't beat the price and uniqueness of his items. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calbur20 Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Had a beater Army 1911 that I wanted to refinish, got Alumahyde and tested it on the slide. Not bad methinks. Will start on the rest of the body later this week. Before After A few more pictures of the sides: Edited April 8, 2016 by calbur20 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Nah, not gonna do anything else to this KWC 1911. It's going to be for playing airsoft so not worth spending any extra money on it. Full side view BTW the MadBull 1911 Hitman compensator is for the TM/WE/KJW 1911s but it works on the KWC by just removing a little bit of material on the front face of the locking lug.

Safeword Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Now this just feels like a downer after wolfgeorge's pictures but here's my WE Nighthawk, I switched out the barrel and barrel bushing from black to silver and removed the lanyard loop to make it look more like the `09 version of this gun, at least I think it's the 2009 version because the 2010 version have a rail and black trigger. I was thinking about buying the Western Arms version but found out pretty fast it was way over my budget Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Safeword Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 (edited) Beautiful collection, Safeword. How are detailed are those engraved WE's? They are very nice, I was surprised when I received mine, they are very nicely done. Not sure about the glocks but the 1911 is super nice.

Not sure about the glocks but the 1911 is super nice. *WE 1911 stainless engraved pics* That almost looks too good to be out of a casting. But I can't imagine they'd engrave those by hand. But very nicely finished, however it's done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Personally "hate" how WE work on the silver pistols, in fact their pistols' quality improved quite a lot in recent years, but the buff/polish ruined the lines/edges of the cast. Try comparing same pistol model in black/silver color to see what I mean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Safeword Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 Just got a package from the mailman and wow, Western Arms Colt 1911A1 Commercial/Military version, really impressed with WA on this one, the Colt commercial/military 1911a1 was pistols being sold to civilians before WW2 and when the war started, these (unsold) pistols were taken in and re-stamped with U.S. Army markings and in military serial range. WA have copied this down to every small marking, even the “P” proof marking in front of the rear sight and serial number matching within military range are here. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
