MadCat360 Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 I got to shoot a Marui 1911 last game, that thing kicks like a 9 mil! I dunno what my friend had in it, but I would assume 134a. I mean, it's plastic. Anyone else have the same experience? Link to post Share on other sites
canizzle Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 No way it could have felt like a 9 mil. I shot a .22 and was harder than that. Link to post Share on other sites
Fuser Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 that thing kicks like a 9 mil! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What kind of 9mm have you been shooting?? Rather, I think maybe your friend had a real gun. I suggest you lay low for awhile. Link to post Share on other sites
halo galo Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hey all, pretty much of the same WA 1911 transition models under different angles. salud, /HG Link to post Share on other sites
NegativeCambre Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 You're talking about the one on top ? These are stock kimber tle/rl grips, they are metal with a thin rubber coating. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mathub, how heavy are both those grips alone? The metal core has me interested-- I'd like to see if there are grip replacement options for my Marui 1911, but I'm not willing to mess with the ballance *too* much. Thanks!

Fuser Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 Are WA MEU's limited production? I hear they are but I can't believe that. Western Arms still has them on their site, so it would make sense, right? If they aren't lp, then how often might WA release a newer model? Link to post Share on other sites
trfo2o Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 Mathub, yea those are the ones. Are those actual Kimber grips? or off the WA kimber? Where'd you purchase them? Last question is; What grips are on the bottom gun? Man I want one of those PGC kits. I'm thinking off getting the grey one, stripping of the anodised finish and then anodising it black <{POST_SNAPBACK}> the gun metal grey finish is very satisfying in my opinion (I GOTTA GET PICS ). But i'd like to be able to see what it would be like in black too like you were saying. How would you go about anodising it to black? do you have the materials and stuff?

Fuser Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 (edited) What grips are on the bottom gun? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pachmayr...Signature? Not 100% sure. You can find them here or on eBay. Edited December 7, 2006 by res0290 Link to post Share on other sites

Fuser Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 No problem, I was thinking about buying some but I'm not sure how they'd look on a TM m1911a1. Link to post Share on other sites
urbandork Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 i love my pachmayrs i got the super old ones before they started putting emblems on their grip. I really just dig the clean look with pachmyer sig only on the non checkard part. the weight of the grips feel about the same as the grips that came off the WA bobtail and come on the wilson combat fbi trials.

Mathub Posted December 7, 2006 Report Share Posted December 7, 2006 (edited) Well, on top, they are stock WA kimber grips, not stock kimber grips. Sorry for the mistake. They weight about 100g each. I can sell them. On bottom, pachmayr signature grips. Look good on an black springfield. But on my silver one, I'll go for cocobolo.

But i'd like to be able to see what it would be like in black too like you were saying. How would you go about anodising it to black? do you have the materials and stuff? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, I would strip off the current finish, as Mathub did on his silver MEU (can't remember what Mathub used though, its mentioned somewhere in this thread) Then I would take it to one of my local anodisers as I happen to live about 20 mins from a business park that has pretty much every type of engineering trade imaginable on it.

Steve <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can give you a pretty precise answer on that one, since I've been doing a lot of weighing of the various parts of my Kimbers. The stock Swat TLEII grips, which are the light rubber-coated metal ones in mathub's photo, weigh 207.83 grams as a pair, or 7.3oz, for us U.S. folk. Considering that the overall weight of the TLEII is 1024.92grams, this makes the grips almost 1/4 of the guns weight. Mathub, yea those are the ones. Are those actual Kimber grips? or off the WA kimber? Where'd you purchase them?

See above for actual weights. Speaking of which, I'll PM you about some real Kimber wood grips you might be interested in. Link to post Share on other sites
Terror Of Heaven Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Quick question for those of you who might know, does a Surefire 310r require a rail for it to be fitted to a 1991 frame? Cheers T-o-H Link to post Share on other sites
