I’ve been wanting a plain Jane 1911A1 for some time, but every time I find one the ejection port is lowered and beveled or something else is just not right.
I saw the ATI GI 1911 on sale over at AIM Surplus. The ejection port was lowered a little, but not beloved. And they were on sale for $349. So I pulled the trigger and had it shipped to my dealer for a total of $364. I picked it up on my way home from work today.
A few things I didn’t like was that the park. finish is darker then I like. They could have done a better job of matching the grips closer to the originals. And what’s with the 8 round mag with a plastic floorplate? This is their GI Model right?
Well, I dug into my parts and got an old standard 7 round mag and an original set of GI synthetic grips.
I’ll take it to work tomorrow and fire a few rounds through it. I think I’m going to be happy with it.
