Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Lawman75: I really like this. This is close to how I want my TRP operator. Can you provide details? I bought it used but found a reddit post of the person who built it. Its a half rail TRP, with the whole 10-8 catalog thrown at it, mag release, slide stop, trigger, rear sight, grips, grip screws, hard pins, etc. Then added Wilson safeties, grip safety, magwell. Had it all put together and ceracoted black. Oh, and cylinder and slide fire control parts, hammer, etc. I havent shot it yet, but it feels good. Trigger is way too fucking heavy though. Need to address that. |

I think I saw the two of these damn near the moment it was posted, and was severely tempted by it, but I’ve already been in conversations with Brian about some builds and they weren’t quite configured exactly like I wanted them, so I decided to be disciplined and pass—if one of them had been a rail gun, that’d probably have been all she wrote, hahaha.

Does it beat the price I got it at? Hell no. Plus its a fucking dream to shoot. Seriously. |

Does it beat the price I got it at? Hell no. Plus its a fucking dream to shoot. Seriously. Brother, we are absolutely on the same wavelength, but I’m trying to be disciplined about not buying / having more guns than I have time to shoot—I’ve got enough of that as is. And whilst I know I could have easily bought it, shot the shit out of it, and then probably resold it at a profit when “my” guns were ready, deep down I know I wouldn’t have been able to bring myself to do it once I owned it. Now, I have been trying to bug SDS/Tisas to release one of these in 9MM:  …and yes, that is an NV-capable gun, But I “justify” it in and that it was cheap, and I wanted something to shoot immediately while waiting for a custom to get built, and all of my parts hacking and “gonsmiffing” is helping me to dial down and test out *exactly* what parts and configurations I want in a professional build.

Two toned, retro beaver tail grip safety, gold or brass front sight, low mounted Bomars in a deluxe slide cut. Heck, they could put Pachmayr grips on it instead of a checkered front strap and knock a little bit off the price. But checkering would be awesome. My Colt 1969 C series Government Model.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CFII: Dude. Bravo. Gracias! I've been going a little hog wild over the last few years with a 1911 obsession. I have made good relationships with a lot of my local gun shops, so I get calls when they get something 1911-ish and cool on the used gun rack. I've got a full-house custom in the final stages of finishing that I'm really looking forward to getting in my hands, built off another Colt Special Combat Government Model Carry. That one turned from "new sights and there's just a few things I'd like to touch up" to "budget be damned" real quick. It started out looking like this, which wasn't bad to start with...  Attached FileAnd an Ed Brown Special Forces in two-tone black over gray. It might seem like a small thing but this one has the best fit thumb safety of any 1911 I've ever held - just straight mechanical snick-snick, off-on - not to mention it has a Goldilocks barrel fit, "just right", not too tight, not too loose. My only minor grumble is the Chainlink texture on the front strap and mainspring housing is basically like no texture, but beggars can't be choosers.  Attached File |
