Grip tape is fine when you want a filthy looking grip on a handgun.

Almost done layout dye to find the high spots

Giantspeed · May 14, 2020, 6:48pm

All done

Mosinvirus · May 14, 2020, 7:03pm

Excellent work!!!

Giantspeed · May 14, 2020, 10:42pm

I also drilled and chamfered and fit the sear and hammer pin holes

Giantspeed · May 15, 2020, 12:22am

I haven’t dehorned this frame yet I may just leave it

Something else you might want to consider is to replace or modify the disconnector.
Some 1911s have too large a hole for the disconnector and would benefit from adding some material to it so it doesn’t rock in it’s hole.
Just a thought.
There’s also a ready made one that cures this, too.
Unfortunately, I can’t remember from whom.
A web search should reveal it.
I put them in my 1911s with good results.
Wilson Combat has them on their web site.

I only use Wilson sears and disconnectors

This build is on hold at the moment because I ordered a trigger 14 days ago and it still hasn’t arrived
Nine of the local shops here have any either
Except the night hawk custom all in one trigger
For 300 and that’s not gonna happen

Well I got my trigger finnaly
So today I went to it
Fit both safety’s and the magwell

Excellent work. Should be a great shooter.

Giantspeed · June 2, 2020, 8:48pm

Ah the 1911
Ejector is to big for the slide

Oh I found the blem
Ejector track

MAC82 · June 3, 2020, 12:21am

Since I am new to this I have to ask. Is this something that can be fixed?

Mosinvirus · June 3, 2020, 1:23am

Which?

MAC82 · June 3, 2020, 10:57am

Ejector track

Giantspeed · June 3, 2020, 2:42pm

There is track in the slide that the ejector fits into
The track isn’t completely cut out
Hence the blem
Basically you have to fit the ejector to fit now

Mosinvirus · June 3, 2020, 3:48pm

Jesse, can you put up a pic of it?

Giantspeed · June 3, 2020, 3:59pm

I will when I get home from the shop today

MAC82 · June 3, 2020, 4:15pm

Thanks for the explanation. I’m trying to soak up all the knowledge i can.

Giantspeed · June 6, 2020, 9:07pm

Ejector was a pain in the ass to fit
But she’s already for a test fire tommorow
