Just have to share my christmas present

[Harold A]

They were running a special at a shop near me, I just could not resist since you can't get the full length dust cover anymore unless you get the TRP.



Got home today and my Alumagrips were waiting for me.

Dear Harold!

Very cool "home defense" handgun and cool-looking grips, too. I hope you made a good deal also.

Did you already shoot it?

Regard,

TK

Please explain full length dust cover.

 

[macavada]

Cool gun. Does it run well with the 10 round mag?

Nice gun. Reminds me of my Operator:

(Right thumb safety has since been replaced by S.A.)

the dustcover is part of the frame that is in front of the trigger guard. on most 1911s it ends about an inch or so from the end of the slide. in this particular gun, the dustcover goes all the way to the end of the slide.
this leaves more room to bolt on goodies like flashlights, lasers, bayonets, bi-pods, etc. it looks different and cool, too.

harold, that is one fine lookin' shootin' iron. i am jealous.

They do feel rather nice, I have shot one, which unfortunately jammed some, it had an eclectic batch of ammo onboard

I also like the idea of a bayonet onboard

Where's the bayonet and grenade launcher?

Sorry, couldn't resist, I am too old fashioned and just don't like accessory rails on pistols, especially 1911's!!!!

 

[bdhawk]

to each his own as far as using accessory rails. i can see their place as a house gun or entry weapon for a LEO. i personally do not like them. it changes the 'personality' of a handgun putting 4 or so ounces way out on the end of the muzzle area.
i have trained using the harries (i think this is correct) method of shootin' with a flashlight. it is not by any means perfect, but it works pretty well for me.

anyway, once again, that is one nice handgun there, harold a.

Cool!, Please post your address and I'll send an FFL... just let me know when its been shipped!

Nice gun... Harries was good until something better came along: accessory rails and Insight lights!
