SR1911 pics and brief overview

[SemperFi1977m]

Here is what comes with one: bushing wrench, soft-case, 2 magazines(which look like checkmates to me), and a big Ruger padlock I will use on the shed or something lol.


CheckMate's patented followers and stamped with an "S" on the bottom of the 7rd mag

My example is machined very nicely and exhibits no burrs. The bevels on the slide are cut nice-n-even on mine and all the parts fit each other very well. The barrel feet are making proper contact on the bowtie. There is minor play in the barrel bushing at both the barrel and the slide, but it is by-far tighter than the 2 Colts I owned in the past and the RIA I currently own. The beavertail and back of the slide could both use some blending, but I dont consider them that bad for a factory pistol. The thumb safety does hang off the back of the frame a little when in the off position, but nothing a little blending couldnt remedy. The only thing I would say I dont care for on my example is that there is a gap between the rear sight and the top of the slide. Other than that, I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
beveled on the front


beveled on sides

serrated, skeletized trigger with adjustment screw (minor play vertically, almost undetectable horizontal play) & extended mag release that has nice purchase when pressing

MSH fitted very well, and plenty of meat to remove the checkering if someone prefers scallops to be added or something

beavertail pushed in (needs some minor blending, but not a bad fit for factory IMHO)



back of slide could use some blending, but too much metal is better than not having any to blend

Here's a nice view of the cutouts on both sides of the beavertail

Heres the hammer that I didnt think I would like the looks of, but I must say it presents itself much better in person than it does in pics. The serrations on it are some of the best Ive felt for gaining a good purchase on when cocking


you can see here where the thumb safety hangs over the back of the frame underneath the tang, but that's an easy thing to correct

A small dealer had two at the gun show last weekend for $625 and he sold them both in the first hour. They seem to be pretty popular right now.
