Suppressors New 1911

[wnroscoe]

It's been a while since I had a 1911 so I figured I better get while the getting's good. I started this 1911 with the slide job and had all intentions to finish it. With Rifle builds going I asked Jim Clark Jr. to finish fitting the other parts. The frame & slide were slightly out of spec and he had a time fitting it up, glad I asked him to do it

If you ever need 1911 work, Jim Clark, Jr. is your man. Hell of a nice guy.

WOW beautiful!!! Love it. The lack of front serrations kind of gives it a longslide look.

Excellent piece! I have a Clark revolver that I rarely shoot, but I'll never sell it.

-really nice. After having owned every plastic pistol out there, I've yet to find one that instills the level of confidence that a 1911 does...

What did you have done to it? Can you post a pick? He sure does nice work.

I carried the Glock 19 at SPD and while it shot great, it never had that solid feel. The 1911 has never had that problem and is why I wanted another one. Thanks for the kind words.

Re: New 1911

Looks good! I'm curious to see how well the KG holds up on the barrel. Now if you can just find some ammo....

All of the parts was around $1,100

I started the slide job and did the final blending of the grip safety to frame and slide safety, installed the novac sights and painted it. Jim & crew did the other internal fitting, sear work and slide job tweak. I was going to do 1911 work but after this one, no way. There's way too much work that goes into one of these. I can now see why some 1911 smiths are 12+ months out.

I'm in Jims shop three to four times a week. I know the other pistol smiths and 10/22 smith that work there, all great guys. I see his builds from the ground up and all that’s involved, they truly work magic at Clarks Custom Guns.

Re: New 1911

Nice touch on the extractor being the same color as the frame there.

Definitely needs a magwell! And you must have some huge mitts to shoot with that long trigger + arched MSH.
