1911 Show-N-Tell

[cmamath13]

Here's my Kimber Eclipse Pro II. Bought it approx. 13 years ago. It was my first handgun and first 1911.

I like it!

That particular model and size has always been on my my favorite Kimbers! Bet it's bee good to you.

Do you know who did the customization, & do you retain the original parts?

 

[workinman]

I worked on everything in the gun except the sights. I wanted a gold bead front sight that was staked and not dovetailed. The gun can be put back to original condition with all the original parts.

Nicely done, sir.

Its a 2011 but man she is a sweet heart.
From the shop of my favorite guy AllenM.

2011 in .357 Sig. This frame will also hold the 10mm I so love and we have a barrel in the mail as I type. This will be multi-caliber.

cm, that would be interesting to try, .357 Sig in one of those.

Wondered who was going to buy that one.... Allen's quality craftsmanship at its best. How do you like that grip texture?

I was wondering people's opinion on the 1911 platform in 40 S&W? I had heard it was a difficult caliber to "get right" on the platform, but I suppose 9mm is not that easy either. I bought one myself (used), hoping to try it for the first time today, time permitting. I broke it down completely for deep cleaning. See below:

Thought I would share this build I finished up awhile back here. Its a 40 put together for uspsa limited or the occasional steel challenge match. I would also like to give a big thanks to AllenM for all his great help on my way through the build.

 

[Leadeye]

Commercial model from 1916.

I've only ever put together on 1911 in .40 but I don't remember any issues, with a WC Supergrade i'm sure you'll be fine!
