Is there anywhere to get a flat serrated MSH with lanyard loop? Caspian doesn’t carry one anymore, and I’m finding smooth, arched, checkered, but not serrated.

Quote HistoryThat dude runnin full auto with the M4 has like practically zero movement during recoil. That was impressive. And I swear so many .mil guys I see them shooting with their trigger finger past the first joint. Like they got it ALL the way in there. (guy with Mk12 on the Helo). Is there a specific reason or is it bad technique? I guess it really doesn't matter where it is on the finger if you're getting the results you want. Never shot from a Helo so maybe he's got his reasons...... |

Just picked this used one up the other day and was able to put a couple hundred rounds through it. So far I am extremely happy with it. The trigger breaks at about 5# and is nice and crisp. Colt told me it was made in March 2014
With a few of my US Property 1911's.

Here's my MEUSOC-inspired Dan Wesson. It started off as a new Dan Wesson A2.
I added the following: Commander hammer, C&S Videcki trigger, checkered MSH w/lanyard loop, Pachmayrs and had the barrel finished in black carbon Titanium Nitride. I'm still undecided about the ambi safety. I pretty much gave up on trying to find a King's 201a, so I might go with KC's Custom Creations new version.

The KC safety is great, I highly recommend it. Nice dan wesson, makes me wonder how easily a Valor can be turned into the late version M45 clone.

Sights are the biggest aesthetic issue for me. It would be pricey to make it a near exact replica, but for a look alike you could get creative and swap the sights, put a lanyard loop and ignore the lack of fcs.

These were built at the USMC PWS shop a few years back and are as close as you can get to an issued MEUSOC pistol! They are both 4th generation, Caspian framed pistols with Marine Corps serial number (the MC prefix). The first pistol (MC1) has a Springfield 1911-A1 slide installed and the second pistol (MC766) has a Caspian slide installed. MC766 also comes with a Springfield Operator slide that is serial numbered to the pistol (it's not in the pics below, but this extra slide also has it's own round count book). Pretty cool having all 3 issued 4th gen slides with the 2 pistols!
I posted these pics early in 2017, but that was before photobucket shit the bucket on their users. So, hope you guys don't mind the repost.....

N Serial Loaded with Greider trigger, EGW ball disconnector, Harrison true radius sear, C&S Tactical II hammer, Flat bottom firing pin stop, Ed Brown ambi S&A Serrated MSH. Awaiting a refinish and Novak dovetail front sight.

Thank you for pointing that out I wasn't aware, its a great resource. In the Gen 3 section it says "Now the slide is Springfield Armory double serrated (forward slant)", does the term "double serrated" indicate it has serrations both to the rear and front of the slide like in the photo below?

The only correct options for the frame/receiver are either USGI or Caspian, right? Also are there any reference photos with chrome barrels being used?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Jake0326:
Im currently a Recon Marine who also happens to be a gun nut (I know, go figure  ) Ive only been in since 2012 so Ive only ever heard about the MEUSOC and how much better it is than our COLT CQBPs that I'm used to shooting. Of course you become numb to the "back in my day" shit and learn to ignore it after a while but being the gun nut I am Ive always been curious of the MEUSOC pistols to see if they actually do live up to the hype. So I just PCSed earlier this year to 1st Bn from Force Company at 3rd in Oki and had been hearing rumors around the unit that we still had some MEUSOCs hiding in our H&S company armory and thought it was just typical LCPL underground bullshit. But when one of my younger team guys told me he actually got to fire one at a random range he did with H&S, I had to go see if he was full of shit or not. Low and behold, we have somewhere upwards of 70 of these bad boys stashed away in the armory only seeing the light of day if I had to guess once every year if not every two years... The slide fit, trigger pull, barrel fit, everything feels better than our shot out colts(they get abused). Unfortunately I only got to dry fire it but Im going to have to figure out a way to get these out to one of our upcoming ranges, shouldn't be too hard with the senior enlisted (who also had no idea we had them) being fanboys of these guns too. So the Civilian Marksmanship Program is in the process of legalizing the sale of surplus Army 1911s to the public, we need to find a way to make sure these pistols find their way into this program and not allow Marine DRMO send them off to be melted down. Anyway, here are some pics of the one I handled
