Unique 1911 build

[AllenM]

This is a 45 1911 package that has Commander and Government interchangeable uppers.
I did this setup with the thought it would have market value but once I got into it, a lot of labor went into making the 2 slides both fit and function like a custom gun should.
Cost wise you could own both a commander and government pistol for what this would cost. Still I am not aware of anybody else that sells or makes such a package. So it sits in my safe. Great shooter with either slide

I looked and I don't have any in process photos. I have not been taking near as many as I used to.

This based on a Caspian Frame, 2 Caspian slides and Barsto Barrels. The ignition kit is cylinder and slide... Really wish I had some in process. Oh well could be a boring post but none the less, finished product.

Government upper




Matching cosmetics. Government has adjustable sights with fiber optic front Commander has Fixed night sights

Now that is pretty cool. And the 2011 carry comp too...safe must be getting full.

Very cool. Showing your skills once again. You know my weakness for 1911s, just in other calibers.

Looks great. I always appreciate your work.
