My TM 1911A1
Just received it today from Marksman. I have plan for this thing, though how far I can get with it will depend on a lot of stuff......

After installing the SD stainless barrel, the slide sticks with it, so I need to do some fitting still....also installed is Pachmayr Signature Grip with finger groove. These are drop-in. And they are rubber with lead weight, so it does not feel much lighter if at all compared to the weighed Stock grip...and they provide a similar feel to my Hi-Capa in terms of width....Next step is to put in the 3 hole Nine-Ball trigger I have sitting around...and I have to decide on whether to go ahead and strip the controls of their paint and polish them...

Those are very nice grips on the 1911.
Awesome :) |
Its so beautiful!

Found the NineBall trigger that I bought used for Hi-Capa before I got the KM one so I threw that on the 1911 too....

Hmm, I have a Tanio Koba metal outer barrel, my slide sticks as well, like 2mm from full return. Its annoying as hell as you have to literally PUNCH it to make it move.
|
One thing I just did to help that was I removed the insert inside the barrel bushung....its like a C-clip to prevent the metal bushing from scratching the plastic barrel...the gun can cycle now....
Other stuff I'd do is maybe take a file to the barrel lugs portion for the slide and maybe chamfer those out a bit....I had to do that for the Hi-Capa when fitting the barrel to the slide... |
Looking good. Looking good. :D :D :D

some additional observation and notes after been able to fiddle with the gun and shoot off a mag. take down of the 1911 is similar to the Hi-Capa, some parts are more fiddly, others are better designed. The grip safety for whatever reason works better than that on my Hi-Capa. It was never that functional on it, maybe because I bought it used, I don't know. But this actually works. plastic slide cycles pretty fast with propane, and no problem with my SD barrel now, and all I really did was taking out that clip in the bushing. GI sights aren't as bad as I thought provided there are enough lighting. Gas capacity is a joke compare to Hi-Capa, but its not hard to see why compare the size of the mags. The finish of the gun is very nice for plastic, and a big improvement over TM G26, the last plastic TM I had. Though the KSC G19's HW frame still feels the best. And I still like to eventually get a metal kit for this somehow....:D

Glad to hear you like it. I've always thought the 1911 was functionally a better than the hi-capa too. My Delta has zero play in the slide to frame fit, it just feels like a more solid gun. What kit are you gonna get? Nova?
|
If I can source it in Canada, a Nova Springfield kit...debating still as to what I want it to look....
|
loookin good

I really like that slide.
