THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Like a 'Lil Debbie, this thing is full of goodness! Infinity barrel and rear sight, Extreme Engineering hammer/sear/disconnect kit, Aluminum grip and the right weight balance to feel like my 1911. A 2011 that feels like my 1911 is a Unicorn I've been chasing for a while. I have built all my own competition guns up until now. After borrowing one of Bobby's personal guns I decided I needed one of my own. This gun splits the distance between a 5" gun and a 6" gun. This is the first Infinity rear sight I've had my hands on. I like it. VERY low in the slide. Clean look. The Aluminum STI grip is hard anodized dark grey and covered in Dawson grip tape. SS main spring housing and SS STI magwell help anchor the gun in the hand and help with the balance. Plus, the STI magwell is not too big as to interfere with my grip on the gun. The Infinity barrel is spiral fluted and can be seen under the slide lightening. Ah yes, the lightening cuts. I asked and Bobby delivered. They are a little different than usual. I had an idea, drew it up, described it on the phone and he knocked it out of the park. The finish is a traditional salt bath hot blue over a matte finish with blasted SS bits. This is just temporary until it's broken in, then it will be sent back for a PVD finish. 
These are cell phone pics. There looks to be a gap at the grip safety/frame junction, it's not a gap it's just the way the frame is blended. The grip safety tang is narrowed significantly for my big hog knuckle and then blended into the frame. |

It's been several years since I've shot a competition gun that I haven't personally built. I'm extremely picky about feel and balance and I'm really excited about this one.
I put 30 rounds through it to make sure my ammo worked. Yep. Then I put another 10 through it over a chrono. That was it before I shot a classifier match. Nothing seems to test gear like a classifier match. I was able to post up a 92, 97 and a 100 with it. This thing is EASY to shoot. Even better than I expected. The video from the classifier match is on my youtube page. I can't "youtube" from work so I can't post a direct link right now. www.youtube.com/want2race441 It's the most recent vid. Match went well, even for a classifier match. No penalties, no Mikes, only 2 D's on the day. |
