Dr.Acula Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Here's my KJW 1911a1. I unfortunately sold the thing so it is no longer in my possession. It served me well. Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 correct me if i'm wrong but i believe the wilson combat professional has a full size frame. the wilsonb combat tactical supergrade compact & stealth defense system have the smaller sized frame. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> your right, i've got one of the buggers and i still can't remember what it's called!

Mathub Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Ledpocket, where did you find those double diamond wood grips ? Link to post Share on other sites
Ledpocket Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 I got the grips at the local gunshop. They were about $50 and came with screws and frame inserts. Here is the only pic I have of their original color: I probably have the packaging still (I think I do) and could post up the name of the company later... but, next time I need .45 grips, I think I'll try out here: http://www.alumagrips.com/main.taf?p=0 Link to post Share on other sites
criper Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Thank you guys. Anyway I can give the grip back and get a full size one. Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 I already asked this.. but can anyone tell me what the finish is like on the SILVER magnatech's.. specifically, I'm after the Series 70. cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
sturgis Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) well, i finally did it i ordered the shooters design duo tone slide for my compact 3x hooray ! Now i had a design made up for some custom grips for my SVI, but i've decided to get the grips for this one. Do you think i should still go with ivory ones, or something woodlike to go with the duo tone slide? Edited July 20, 2006 by sturgis Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix360mute Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 i think tactical black would suit the gun better than either ivory or wood actually Link to post Share on other sites
sturgis Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) i think tactical black would suit the gun better than either ivory or wood actually <{POST_SNAPBACK}> hehehe, not a chance of anything tactical with this design on them i started thinking that a light brown wood would be nice with the duo tone, then again the ivory one would set off better against the black frame... aah decisions..

n00b3r Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Ive seen the design, go with the ivory grips...black on white on black Link to post Share on other sites
evilhippy Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 ...and the added satisfaction of dying baby elephants on your gun I'd buy that for a dollar Link to post Share on other sites
sturgis Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) ...and the added satisfaction of dying baby elephants on your gun I'd buy that for a dollar <{POST_SNAPBACK}> hey hey hey hey heeeey now...... if you would care to look deeper in this thread, you would not only see the design, BUT more importantly, that these are FAKE ivory grips ! polymer based grips to be exact... Like i would want some innocent animal being killed just so i can be a twat with a fancy pistol...meh i resent that Edited July 21, 2006 by sturgis Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix360mute Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 erm, i think he was joking dude, antway, i have wood grips on my 1911, i dont think i would want anything else, i'll post a pic of my near completed project by the end of the day Link to post Share on other sites
evilhippy Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Actually I was totally not joking, I myself have a bed carved from Orca spines replete with Elephant's feet legs ... Yes I was joking Sturgis, don't worry. I wasn't poking fun at the concept of using Ivory either, in all seriousness I do have some antiques with Ivory components, its not something I can affect now so hey, why not appreciate it.

sturgis Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) ok, sorry, might of flew bit fast of the handle there.... while i can appreciate real ivory gun grips on a nice piece, it's not something i would actively strive for, the fake ones look very nice aswell, and atleast nothing had to die for them imho...

evansy Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 just arrived this morning TM M1911A1, now i'm ready for some solid snake action Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix360mute Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) as promised, heres some pics i took earlier. first, by bob chow specialy, wth a silencer and now for my, ever so nearly completed, metal gear solid 3 1911-a1 project the only down side is that i am thinking of selling the bob chow i want to gain funds to make MGS 1911-a1 duelies. but just to let everyone know, the onlything unfinished about the 1911, is that i need to dremel the grip safety to accomodate a larger ring hammer, and it need some paint work to clean it up abit, enjoy everyone EDIT: oh and evansy, you think you ready for some solid snake action, think again Edited July 21, 2006 by phoenix360mute Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 by god that mgs project 1911 looks sooo much nicer sans flash. Nice work mate! Not too sure on the silencer on the Bob Chow, but whatever floats your boat hbc. Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix360mute Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 nah man, u should see it, i stuck my mgs 1911 barrel an silencer on it, looks nice, not the same tho Link to post Share on other sites
hardboiledcop Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 did you buy a poweredge barrel for it? - My TLE II Stainless is coming tomorrow, so I'll have so more lovely piccy's once we get.. acquainted Link to post Share on other sites
BARsrule2 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 That MGS3 .45 looks sweet. Didn't he have a fatter can though? Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix360mute Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 erm, fatter can, what you talkin about? and yes HBC it is the poweredge outer barrel that i got for my 1911 Link to post Share on other sites
BARsrule2 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 The supressor... Link to post Share on other sites
phoenix360mute Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 the supressor he had, you cant buy, it was rounded off at the end facing the barrel, and was about the same length as mine, in order not to give my gun cycling problems, i had to get a light weight sillencer aswell, so i went with the laylax slim suppressor, it was a good compromise, hell, even the short suppressors give 1911's cycling problems, ask catman, he knows all about it Link to post Share on other sites
