the cleaner Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Big R/Small R - This refers to the Radius of the Stirrup cut on the recoil spring housing of the slide - i.e. ; the curvature from the nose (after the straight bit) down to the point where it would meet the end of the dustcover on the frame. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> awesome. ."stirrup cut" ( I had no idea of the terminology/anatomy) thanks for the correction. .I'm so lame...

Mobius Strip Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) Hehe, don't worry, I'm happy to help Just for the record, I had never heard people in real gun circles refer to the radius of the cut as "big R/ little R" - it's only when the metal slides for WA's started coming out of HK (DEN were first if I recall) that I first heard it said and assumed it was a colloquialism! I should have added that last night but had a case of 'tired brain needs sleep' Edited August 1, 2007 by Mobius Strip Link to post Share on other sites

the cleaner Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 RCA. . what Kimber slide is that? It looks like a Kimber Royal II finish on it. . I didn't know it was available. Unless you repainted it or it's just the lighting. Link to post Share on other sites

hardboiledcop Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 nice spur hammer, but the grip safety/trigger combo is not to my liking.. to each their own I say, but a flat silver trigger would look so much nicer IMO. ta. Link to post Share on other sites
Brakoo Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Here is my 1911, after painful hours of grinding and figuring out what's wrong here it is. That's the 1911 how it was when I got it : And here it is now, with the obvious Safariland : Enjoy ! Link to post Share on other sites

oddxbird Posted August 3, 2007 Report Share Posted August 3, 2007 Man Brakoo i want that 310 so bad. No one wants to sell em. therefor im jealous. Nice guns Link to post Share on other sites
Brakoo Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 (edited) I apologize to the 1911 purist and the guns collector but personally I'm an airsoft player. I want my guns to be efficient and how I like them to be. It's true the paintjob could have been better but my guns are meant to be used and abused when needed, opposed to being models for pics. They do that just fine for me and I know it won't be collecting any dust in my possession. Funny story about the Surefire is that I looked for one everywhere for months and I ended up seeing a guy who posted pics of a 1911 a few years ago and he had the 310r installed on him so I messaged him asking him to sell it to me. I ended up paying a big price for it, my friend saw it was jealous and started looking. He found one for half the price I paid mine, just dumb luck and he ended up never installing it and reselling it for the same price. Edited August 4, 2007 by Brakoo Link to post Share on other sites
Little para Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Hey guys im not too sure if this is true but my brother told me that the 1911s from " Frank Miller's Sin City " are available in airsoft, he said he saw them on RW but nothing. Could someone confirm if they are available in aisoft and anywhere i could buy them or atleast see a picture. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Lithium Jack Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Aren't they just Springfield 1911s? In which case, yes they are widely available Link to post Share on other sites
rhyyke Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 here's the redwolf thing your brother is probably talking about: http://redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/...il?prodID=21800 its out of stock, but its just a marui 1911 with a guarder metal kit and some upgraded springs, so you can easily recreate it. i think the 1911s in sin city were silver tho, but that might have just been the black and white that made em look that way.

hardboiledcop Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 I've seen loads of Springers on 1911forum with the finish of the guarder kit.. so it's possible it is an exact match.. Link to post Share on other sites
