I recently sold my built up Norinco to fund a Glock. I use a Glock overseas so I wanted the same gun to practice with when I am home. I was looking at getting a or building a 1911 in 9mm. I found Fusion Firearms. Their kits are exactly what I am looking for. I generally replace everything except the slide, frame and barrel when I build a 1911 anyways so there is no sense in getting a complete pistol.

I was looking at their sight and everything seems well made and the prices seem reasonable without being to high or too low.

Here is what comes in the kit:

  • Fitted frame & Slide
  • Custom Flat top slide with rear Sure-Grip cocking serrations
  • Lowered and Relieved ejection port
  • Frame milled for Fusion, STI, Wilson barrel ramp cut
  • Fitted ramped match barrel, barrel link and link pin
  • Fitted stainless steel 400 Series heat-treated barrel bushing
  • Fitted slide stop
  • Extended Ejector installed
  • Plunger tube installed
  • Recoil system with full length guide rod, recoil spring and cap
  • Undercut trigger-guard
  • Chain-Link Stippled front strap
  • Beveled magazine well
  • .25 Radius cut for high-ride beavertail
  • Rear Sight cuts (Novak or Bomar style)
  • .300 x 60 deg x .060 front sight cut, Standard for all STI front sight
     cuts
  • All parts matte bead blast finished

Prices are around $700 and I realize it will cost another $400-$600 for the parts needed to finish.

Would I be better off buying a used gun then rebuilding it or buying this kit and finishing it?

I bought one of their kits and couldn't be happier with how it came out.  Slide,frame, and barrel fit were superb.  I was able to take my time and buy my parts and fit them at my own pace.  Getting a better deal on a fitted, forged frame and slide with match barrel and bushing is hard to find.

Thanks, I will probably get one to start a build. It will be a commander length 9mm.
