I'm glad you shared that, just supports my feelings about the allloy frame cco's which are great for carry but not so great if shooting a lot of rounds at the range. Too bad DW doesn't offer both in the cco. The only choice for an all ss cco I could find was Sig and of course Colt if you can find one. I will find out the difference this week.

Well, I picked her up yesterday and of course had to strip her down, clean and do a lube job. While apart I had to tweak the grip safety spring because it was loose and had an irritating rattle. The trigger was fairly good at 5.25 lbs. so I tweak it down to about 4.25 lbs. which feels more like my other 1911's. The weight was around 34oz. which is exactly what I wanted. This gal is really tight, took a bit of racking to smooth the action. To my surprise the mags are the same as my DW's, Checkmate 7 rounders, which I already had extra's. The Sig mags are unmarked but have the same patent# on the follower. I'm liking this one already.

These are the factory grips.


These are a set of magwell grips that look good without the magwell. I perfer these style grips on 1911's.


The mag on the left is a DW Checkmate and the right is factory Sig. Blurred pic.


Hope to make it to the range this week.

My S&A magwell/msh came in today. I'm REALLY liking this CCO now that the grip is 1/4" longer.




Thanks to a post on the 1911forum by old-lefty I was able put this together.

That started out as a good looking pistol, and now it's even better.

Range report? Dirty pictures?

Plan on going to the range this week.
