Jerry,

the Seecamp conversion was only done on the Steel version of the 1911A1 frame in either standard or Commander length.

It is a pretty unique conversion. I doubt he converted more than 50 or so. At some point the patent was sold to a company in New Jersey whose name I can't seem to remember and they attempted to market the gun in both blue and stainless, but I have no idea how successful they were or if they got past the prototype stage. Perhaps someone with a grounding on one of the 1911 websites might read this and fill us both in.

The conversion creatively hangs a mechanism similar in nature to the P-38 into machine cuts made into the right side of the frame and the double action trigger is added. The gun functions in both single and double action modes and in the event of a combat type loss of one of the double action parts, they can be readily removed and the gun returns to single action.

I would guess that the weight of the double action pull is similar to the P-38 but I have never measured it. The trigger is wide and smooth like a S&W combat revolver trigger and is a joy to use...

I have only been in touch with 2 other owners of this conversion a year or two ago and they bought them from someone else. Lewis Seecamp did mine for me personally... The asking price on the last one I saw for sale was $1250.00 and I wouldn't part with mine for twice that... We have been through too much together to get a divorce now [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
