I think my 1911a1 has achieved it's final form! The frame is from a TISAS Duty 2 .45, the slide is a reworked GI surplus unit that I finished and flat-topped. Lots of customization with:
*Flat mainspring housing blended to the frame then 20 LPI checkered
*20 LPI checkering on the front of the grip-frame and under the trigger-guard
*Customized high-ride grip safety
*Magwell funnel
*Trigger with overtravel stop
*Trigger job- clean break at 2-3/4 lbs. with a very short reset
*XS Sights tritium Big Dot front sight
*Port cut through the barrel, solid bushing and slide ahead of the front sight
*GunKote finish, Napa green for the frame, SOCOM Black for the magwell funnel, slide, grip safety and mainspring housing.
*EGW heavy guide rod with custom reverse-recoil plug
* Custom stippled 'Blue Jean Micarta' grips. A friend made the material and sent me some. Provides excellent, non-abrasive traction.
The port is more effective than I expected, getting the muzzle back on target very quickly! I hope to shoot some ASI matches with this soon.
