1911 Picture Thread


Recommended Posts

OK im a bit of a 'Newbee' to these forums but here goes...

 

After seeing the 'Heat' Colt commander pics heres my film inspired pistol:

 

'StreetKings' custom 1911

 

post-42289-1238934279_thumb.jpg

 

Customized and made using parts from both TM 1911A1 and MEU. The ejection port on the standard 1911 slide ive lowered and flared , filled and sanded all markings and fitted a new foresight vane. The standard 1911 frame has had added: WE CQB grips, Nineball extended slide lock, a Guarder 3-hole trigger, 4.3 commander hammer (sanded and polished) Tanio Koba grip safety (which was a real pain :angry: as it needs filing/cutting to fit so therefore is not for the 1911 but for the 5.1, take note ;) ), straight mainspring housing by Tanio Koba and an Ambi-safety (sanded and polished) from an old 5.1 i had.

Money wise it was'nt too bad, as the 5.1 i have since used on another project/spares. Its such a pity that no one does 'Bomar' sights as an accessory, i think they would make a killing :money: Same goes for the 'Novak' sights, maybe copyright infringment is an issue :busted_cop:

 

Thanks for all the feed back guys :D . I have now uploaded an album of some of my projects old and new ;) .

RS screws will not fit. I purchased these wilson hex head screws and they did not fit. RS screws are to large. I need to retap mine.

 

i have a question... i'm about to buy a nova kit for my 1911 but i was wondering if real steel grip screws work with it? the 1911 i have has one screw that's larger because they had to re-tap the thread.

 

thanks a lot, again.

Had to modify the TM MEU thumb safety to resemble a 'Les Baer' type, a lot of grinding down and sanding involved but I think it looks ok :unsure: .

The slide is a filled, sanded, painted and re-engraved TM 5.1 I had in my spares box, how im going to cut additional cocking serrations fore and aft i have no idea :( The grips are 'Mahogany' hand made.

Pictured below is the 'real steel' pistol the gun was based on...

Sorry for the low quality pictures, my camera sucks, I would get a new one but I spend too much on airsoft. :P. Just got her tonight, 1911 Desert M.E.U. I am thinking about picking up a Tan m6 and possibly a Tan suppressor (probably the Zombie Killer one.) Though I was joking around I put an m14 suppressor, which was black, it seemed to accent the gun quite nicely, so I might go with black accessories instead, thoughts?

Another very original project MrManiac. I love how the thumb safety came out. Very nice...

 

Many thanks 'baias6230' :) As you may have gathered im a total 'nut' when it comes to TM 1911s and im forever tinkering with one or another :rolleyes:

The 'Ed Brown Special Forces' project is now complete and i shall try to get some photos up soon.

 

'tomo' I love that Wilson combat with the extended recoil spring guide rod :D (I think someone else pointed out previously, it helps stop the slide rattling ;) ).

Pity 'Socomgear' never thought to lower and flare the ejection port when they did their tweaks to what is essentially a 'WE' CQB pistol.

Don't worry about being nuts about the TM 1911, i am nuts for the TM glocks :huh::P

 

I really like your 1911 projects and those grips look awesome for hand made grips. Congrats with your projects.

 

Cheers 'Firefly0' :blush:

Atlast ive found like minded people :lol:

 

Being a 'Chippy' by trade, the wood is all off cuts from work ;)
