Cabot Gun Company's Big Bang pistol set is nothing but pure 1911 perfection.

Ordered a blued series 70 a week ago. Still waiting for it to show up at the shop. I have high hopes for tomorrow.

Just added a WC hammer, hammer strut, beaver tail, and hammer pin to my Springfield armory mil spec. Didn't require any fitting surprisingly. I couldn't get the WC sear to work with my pistol but surprisingly the hammer seems to work with my original sear. Worked fine with safety check and dry firing it. Will need to test it at the range in the coming weeks. Trigger pull feels lighter.

What kind of gun is this?

>>30540395
A 1911

>>30540395

Slide, Frame, Sights, Beaver-Tail, Finish is COLT 2009+ Gold Cup as fuck. Stamp is not. It might have been refinished or Colt Custom.

The only thing not COLT is that safety (thumb). The rest is COLT manufacturing as fuck.

I bet its a 9mm Colt CUSTOM shop gun. The only thing bothering me is that I can't see the individual proof stamp near the trigger guard that all COLTS have.

>>30534957
Is that the Charizard with a typo on the card?

>>30537177
I read that the meteor like design is lasered on. Is that true?

>>30539881

I have one also and like it a lot

If I get a 1911 with a ring hammer and a standard grip safety, will there be any hammer bite? I get how useful beaver tails are but they are ugly as fuck to me.

>>30541272
Depends.
It seems like most people that have hammer bite issues have fatty hands.

Is Springfield bad?
Is Colt the only good 1911 brand that isn't overpriced or too cheap (shit)

>>30542301
Most 1911s are fine, but all are overpriced. For $500 you can get a total piece of shit that sucks in every way when compared to a $400 polymer wonder nine. For $1200 you can get a gun that is OK, but still sucks compared to a $400 polymer wonder nine. For $3000 you can get a gun that is super accurate, fun to shoot, looks like its from space or some anime, but still sucks for practical use when compared to a $400 polymer wonder nine.

I own a Kimber Eclipse Custom II in 10mm, the superior chambering for 1911s. 10mm nets you an extra round in the mag, and a more powerful round with recoil to match the absurdly heavy frame of the 1911. Its an absolute joy to shoot, and I am super accurate with it. Would I turn to it for my carry piece? Only if my Five-seveN, M9-A1, PPSes all disappeared.

>>30542301
No Springfield isn't bad. It's a good budget entry 1911.

Colt is a small step up, but is regarded as the higher quality build and is also the original 1911.

>>30542372
What about the Delta elite? I've heard only bad thing about kimber on here not sure why though.

What is the cheapest, most reliable firearm I can purchase for under $500?

another Kimfag here. Dump the stock mags for WCs

Got a Para Elite the other day, so far I've put about 5 mags through it. No hang ups, no FtF or FtE, grabbed the 10 round WC mags, but they leave a lot of steel hanging out of the grip. Who makes the little plastic cover that i can install separately so I don't have to buy more expensive mags to cannibalize them?

>>30541153
Doesnt matter since there's literally nothing special about the guns. Just another way to use up peoples disposable income. Meteoric deposits are nothing new and it's the same elements we dig up on earth every day.

Unless that shit actually does +10 damage against demons they can suck a dick

>>30541310
This. I've been a little chewed up from narrow/sharp tangs but beavertails help more with getting a higher grip than anything

Are Sig 1911's allowed here? Just picked this up; it's my first 1911.
Not a big fan of the stock grips, anyone got a suggestion for me? Already looking into VZ Gatorbacks.

>>30544604
Which Delta Elite? There are lots of them with about three generations.non of them are bad guns when it comes down to it. Pretty much just vanilla 80s series guns with less than desirable chamber support and a fuck ton of people that talk shit. The 2016 version looks promising and hopefully it's got a fully supported chamber this time.

Fucking colt

Have one built or buy an SVI/INFINITY

I post mine in these threads. Only hardcore purists have an issue with the external extractor.

It's a dual stack 10mm 1911. I'm willing to put up with a lot for that.

Such nice grips ruined by such blatant billboard branding. Why SIG, why?

>>30550894
Thanks. They're just black vz grips. They were on my old RIA I sold. Thinner and give me a better more natural grip. I may get some thinner wood grips in the future.

That grip safety needs to be fitted. Look at that gap after the grip tang.

My SA Loaded that their custom shop worked on. Threaded barrel not pictured.

>>30554380
Were they the normal VZ grips or the actual slimline ones?

>>30554375
Because all companies like to do that.

Good eye.

Does anyone here own a Cimarron 1911? I'm interested in getting one and would like any info I can get. I've noticed that the only ones currently available online are the parked versions, nickel and blue is impossible to find.

>>30554544
I think the newer ones only come in parkerized.

I would rather get a RIA for the price.

Trust me- if the gun bites you, you won't shoot it. I have only one stock 1911 that doesn't bite, and it's borderline.

>>30555437
They dont?

I've been thinking about getting a stainless 1911, and if so I will get a DW heritage
