New 1911/Pics

[J.Netto]

Always glad to see somebody get their first 1911.

Thanks but, I bought my first 1911 back around 1998. This was the first one I've bought with a blued finish and adjustable sight.

Oh yeah, sorry for bumping this old thread... I haven't been on in about a month or so

I've been really busy.

very nice pictures. next on my list is a 1911... its a mortal sin that the us military is going away from the 1911 and worse of all they are going to melt the surplus down. makes me shiver...

Nice...looks like a Wilson or a Nighthawk. Both reputable weapons, will work all of the time. Just take care of it. If the bluing wears (and it will), think about some sort of refinishing. I might suggest hardchroming or maybe a Cerakote or DuraCoat finish. However, you shouldn't need to worry about that for some time.

Enjoy!

Nice, I have heard alot of good things about the S&W 1911's.

Just a word of advice..., be very careful on inserting the slide stop when re-assembling. If the gun has tight tolerances (and it looks like yours does)..., don't force anything..., otherwise you'll mar the bluing with a "rookie mistake"..., that semi-circular indentation that almost always happens. The slide stop plunger (actually, it's the slide stop spring) almost doesn't allow easy re-assembly on a new 1911.

Good luck.

yeah i know what you menat about the slide stop unfortunately the first time i reassembled my springfield 1911 I put a little mistake into the finish.....oops
