1911 A1 to 1911

Jim Keenan · 07-26-2003, 03:58 AM

FWIW, I agree with John. Shooter 1911's are still available, and I see them at gun shows from time to time. Even more common are "mixmaster" 1911 frames with 1911A1 slides. If yours is full A1, someone with the above combo should be more than willing to trade.

The things some folks like about the 1911 are the long trigger and the flat mainspring housing, and both can be obtained from Brownells (www.brownells.com) or other parts houses for quite reasonable prices. You will probably want to keep the longer grip safety or even go to a beavertail type for shooting.
