Subject: Good base 1911 for custom work?
buzzard    3/4/2008 2:07:28 PM
After having much trouble finding anything in the way of customizing equipment for my P220, I've decided I might as well go with the flow and get myself a full sized 1911 to custom up. What would you folks recommend for a baseline?

Don't be cryptic, Yimmy, tell us more.
With regard to my earlier comments concerning NORINCO - I was wrong.  After seeing their ammunition in action today - needless to say I didn't buy any.

I don't want to work.  I want my piece ready to go straight out of the box, for the purpose of shooting scary people till they don't scare me anymore.  (Hope that line works in court.)

As such, I though the Dan Wesson Bobtail I handled in a PA gunshop last year was a honey.  Frankly I didn't like the Kimbers I saw, would rather have the Taurus GI model.



The CBOB is a very nice example of the 1911, especially for the price . . .

Hey So i also want a 1911 but i want it for mainly looks. Like fancy grips, sites, skeleton trigger, that kinda stuff.  But im also not a billionare and dont want any of that cheap Asian crap.  I want American made! Any suggestions every freaking company has a 1911 i just one that has alot of customization parts.

You have a problem with your request, you want an inexpensive 1911 that is American made. You can have one or the other, but not both. I went with the Taurus myself (I mentioned that somewhere in the thread). I suspect the premium I would have paid for domestic production would have been around $200.
