Just finished with my American Classic 1911.




American Classic Commander 1911, action, trigger, all completed by me. NiB-X slide and barrel with Nitromat frame done by WMD Guns in Florida. Custom grips done by Hakan Pek from Norway.

I have never heard that saying so not sure how that comes across.

I'm guessing "lipstick on a pig".    Probably coming from someone who has never touched a Metro Arms 1911.  

OP nice looking 1911 I hope you enjoy it.   I have a hard chrome AC commander and love it.  I changed out the extended slide release for a standard one also.   David

This is my 2nd 1911 WMD coat, I have a Springfield A1 I did too, but once I put 1000+ rounds down range on my Metro I was so impressed I just wanted to trick it out even more.

man the people here are harsh. Just because you didn't spend $5000 on a custom. Nice work, glad you have something you take pride in.

Thanks I gunsmith for a living and custom build AR's, Bolt, 1911's, etc... I have had customers bring in TRP's, Wilson's, etc... you would be amazed what the internals look like on some of these guns. Not going to knock them, I just don't see paying that high of price when they have really good guns out there.

 



When it comes to naming and etching on the gun I guess I don't care the gun is top quality if they want to advertise It doesn't bother me at all.

I got the Metro MAC 1911 Bobcut, I've only got 50 rounds thru it so far, but its a hell of a nice gun for what I paid. $625. They claim to be all hand fit, and it shows. So many guys miss out on hella nice guns, cause they don't come with cool kids membership cards.

Looks beautiful. Great job OP.

Edit: I was just looking at these, as I've never heard of them and man, oh man do I want that 1911 Classic in the hard chrome finish! What a beautiful gun.
