I didn't like the plastic ergos so I've cut myself a piece of wood to match my hand.

Here is the result, nice wooden grip that fits my hand perfectly. Never underestimate the grips, it can make or break a gun.

Then I decided that I'd prefer a stainless steel look rather than this black finish. This is how 1911s are supposed to look imo.

I started polishing the slide.

da fuq?

>22 walther """1911"""
I don't even care.

>>33157249
I love the A, anon. The perfect handcrafted and personalized touch really makes the grips pop. There are so few craftsmen left today, this is truly refreshing

FUGGG

is it actually a fixed barrel blowback?
I would've thought that it was just a downscaled 1911

Well thanks for the posts and I admire the try, but it looks like shit.

jesus christ the autism

why would you fuckin do that m8

If that isn't stainless steel that thing is going to pit EASY now.

If it turned out good to you and is functional that is all that matters.
I would've taken the time and used some better materials so the end result would be a lot nicer looking.
