Colt 1911A1 gift

[Tannerm]

Nash is correct, it is a 1991A1. Anyone know the difference?

[David]

It's just a budget 45 colt offered in 1991. It's a 1911a1 in every fashion.

Very nice!!

[CJ]

It looks just like my '43 except no crosshatch on the slide release, and no lanyard.

[Jimbo]

Damn, you pulled a winner in the "marrying into families" lotto.

[Tannerm]

I'm thinking about going tomorrow or Thursday.

That is absolutely badass man!

And agreed on leaving it alone as much as possible. Congrats, hope you enjoy it for years to come...

I know that its a mixed bag in here about whether to mod or leave alone. Sorry, but I have to make it my own. Plus, I plan on using this as a duty weapon. Will only be modding the ambi safety, beavertail, sights, and MAYBE grips. So far, I did the Brownells ambi safety today. Im a stubborn SOB and chose to do it myself. I googled and researched the process and found it very easy. I also ahve some files at home to slowly file at the ambi safety (NOT THE PISTOL!). I was able to get it to mimic the standard safety I had. Was quite proud of myself. Hers a pic of her with the ambi's on it and cleaned up after my first shoot. I put 50 rounds of Federal FMJ 230grains without a single jam or stove pipe. I LOVE THIS GUN. I am driving tacks with it. Puts my Glock to shame (but dont tell them that. I love my 31 and 35...) Also, until I find a great set of grips that arent too gawdy, I had to notch the grips in order to make the right side safety not rub.

Whatever you do .. DON'T POLISH THE FEED RAMP... More people screw up Colt's by doing this than any other thing. If it feeds right, leave it alone.

[Tannerm]

It fed great. I am not touching a dang thing on the feeding. It shot without hiccup.

lol, you'd really have to fuck up your polishing job to cause problems with feeding. But I would agree not to fix what isn't broken. Sometimes you'll run into GI 1911's will struggle with hollow point rounds. Most of the time they are compact models.

I agree with you CJ. You would think people would have enough sense to know when to quit. But I am constantly amazed at the number of butchered up 1911's I see. Unfortunately a lot of them were done by professional gunsmiths who really ought to know better.
