I ave a Glock 19 that I have been using as a suppressor host but just not happy with it.
Soooo, I had hammer on my Government length 9mm Fusion 1911 start to follow the slide down after about 15000 rounds and one thing lead to another.
This gun was the very first Kit gun I built several years ago and the gun I have put the most rounds through of any gun I have ever owned. I have also experimented on it trying to learn how to use a mill.
Some things worked OK and some didn't leaving some cosmetic defects on the slide.
I decided to convert it to a Commander and thread the existing barrel and try it out as a suppressor host.
Progress so far:
Before pics
Purchased a Caspian Commander slide and I was glad to find that it was oversized and had to be fit to the frame. Afer that I shortened the slide rails and that just left the need to shorten the dust cover.
oh yea, I love bobtail Commanders
Shorten barrel and cut some threads
cut for Nighthawk suppressor night sights
might as well do a carry cut
getting close
Still havent decided 100% on a color scheme but I am going to shoot it a bit and do any final tuning first. I have test fired it and it is much nicer to shoot suppressed then the Glock is..To me anyways ( sorry Websnyper)
