smart man haha, that's why I want to get one of those "ARs" that shoot 22LR like INgolfer was going to get, that I way I can shoot a few hundred rounds and not feel the price tag of .223 ammo haha

Oh yeah, I love my 1911! I have a springfield mil spec that I ordered and did my own work on. I'll have to try and post some before and after pics...
The gun as I received it.
The parts I fit. Also not pictured are the main spring housing and the ed brown beavertail that I fit.
Working on fitting the beavertail
Final blend of the slide, extractor, and beavertail
The finished product! I basically broke down the gun and only kept the barrel and frame and slide. Everything else was custom fitted by me. I did all new internals (new springs, detents, trigger, sear, disconnector, hammer, hammer strut, extractor) mainspring housing and beavertail. I also converted it from an ambi thumb safety to a single sided thumb safety. I did the trigger job myself and it is set to just over 4 lbs. I love this gun. I really want to get a new finish on it but I will have that professionally done.

That's a very nice holster. I use it on work for my SIG-Sauer P228.

I like the design behind it the trigger finger release button makes it pretty fast to draw from

That's exactly why i use it instead of my old leather holster. way faster to draw when you need to.

Yeah I don't like the leather holsters that have the strap that secures it. I like the blackhawk way better and I've had it for a few years without any problems on the polymer body

I still prefer leather, but have to admit that the polymeric holsters are the way to go, especially for concealed carry.

Exactly, in my opinion they are sleeker and this one requires less effort to draw with

it depends what you use them for. for concealed carry i prefer other holsters than the blackhawk serpa.
Mr. Satchmo
urielsatchmoortegaMR.Jinx
Yeah there are smaller holsters that are easier to conceal

That is some awesome work that you did. The trigger looks sweet and sets off the gun really nicely as a custom job!! It's nice to have that feeling you get when you take on a project yourself and it comes out as nice as this looks. Definitely something to be proud of.

I'm a huge fan of beavertails, I know they're no "classic" but I prefer the 1911 Tactical look (hence why I gravitate towards kimbers). great job on that gun

Thanks man! Yeah I like the beavertail much better and I think its more comfortable to shoot.

Heading to the shooting range here in a little bit, gonna take a gander around the shop as well and ponder what I might want to buy. Still leaning toward something decent thats inexpensive to shoot so I can plink around with it, like the MP15-22. But I might spend a little more to get something a little better. I dunno yet...
