Custom 1911 build
 

If you were going to have a pistol built for you what features would you want in/on the weapon?

6" slide
Finished in brushed SS.......
Oh yeah 10MM

1911A1 standard, chrome barrel, polished stainless, polished feed ramp and sear, trigger break like a thin sheet of glass,...

Oh boy....Is this like a dream gun? Or just something we would like to have?

Guess I should have fleshed this out a bit. What parts/pieces/attributes would you consider essential?

But to answer your question, something you would like to have..

A parkerized 10MM longslide, matched internals/hammer by EGW, along with an EGW short trigger tuned to 3.5#, and extended mag release. Tritium low profile night sights mounted to a flat milled top slide. Flat mainspring. The Match Grade barrel MUST be threaded for a can. Caspian comes to mind for frame/slide....


Or you can just go to cabotgun.com

oh buddy we have to get together....I think we are supposed to be married..that is perfect except the finish.....man! nanner

CCO or ECO sized lightweight with flat top, serrated. Low pro night sights in the straight eight style. Front and rear strap serrations with medium grippyness. Low profiled beaver tail with STI style hammer. Short faces trigger pulling 3.5lbs, short reset. No rail. Intergrated magwell. Extended slide release. Crisp solid safety. GI recoil spring setup. Flush cut and crowned muzzle. Flush cut slide release nub. No roll marks. Undercut trigger guard. Chambered for .45acp or .38 super. Hard hat finished.

Well..... doughnuts and milk do go together.

Well custom guns you say.........

I had the idea a few years ago, I looked at various companies and settled on Fusion Arms
I set up a lits of options that started with a Commander Slide and an Officer lower (easier to carry) with a rounded butt in 9mm.
But then I wanted a great carry trigger around (4 lbs) with a speed hammer and extended grip safety (I like to grip high on the gun). Sights I originally opted for night sights, but I in the process of changing them to FO sights.
I wanted the gun finished with Black and DLC on top.
But it did not stop there........I also wanted an additional barrel and bussing in 38Super........
Practice in 9mm, carry in 38 Super....Best of all worlds..

Yes, I had it done and then it hit:faint:

Make sure you have a lot of extra cash in your check book and at least a year to wait for the build.............

Today's customs builds start at about $3K and go up........

Have Fun and Stay Safe

Already had mine built...my Baer H/W Mono :D

Had it bead blasted hard chromed, naked slide (no roll marks or FCS) and fixed sights. The only other things that I wanted done, but Baer refused to do is flush cut and crown the barrel and to have the slide stop cut flush with the frame and the hole recessed. Those 2 items will come at a later date.
