      I wanted an M45 MEUSOC 1911 replica, so I built my own

      Remember this debacle? Well I sent my parts off to a different shop and they just came back! The only downer is it seems some parts got dropped and got a few dings but I'm just glad to have that ordeal over with. This is my approximate replica of an early M45 MEUSOC 1911 so some aspects of this...

      Springfield RO Elite Operator - 10-8 Duty Tune DVD Build

      I finally finished my 2nd 1911 build! I actually started this one before my "first" 1911 build but I did this one pretty slowly over the course of a year so it ended up finished second. I followed along Hilton Yam's Duty Tune DVD and both the video and Hilton himself were greatly helpful...

      1911 Build #1: Complete!

      My first full and complete build, mostly back from refinishing (still some delays but **** happens). This was a very challenging but rewarding process and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I found that the best resource in learning how to do this was Hilton Yam's 10-8 1911 duty tune DVD...

      Cautionary gunsmith/refinishing review - NW Indiana

      This is a cautionary review about a northwest Indiana shop whose name rhymes with cryptic booty gunsmithing. I want to make it clear that I get no joy from posting critical reviews about any establishment and this isn't meant to be punitive or retaliatory in nature. It's just that the quality of...

      1911 Project Gun - Progress Thread

      I'm starting a progress pic thread for my project 1911. Nothing really exotic, I'm just following along the 10-8 Performance duty tune DVD. I also only have basic hand tools (I literally have 3 files and sandpaper) and no dremel so some work is gonna be farmed out. I'm also just a hobbyist so...
