Hi,

Socom Gear are doing a limited edition 24k gold plated 1911. Don't know where you'd get the grips from tho.

Cheers
Chris

Re: Faceoff M1911

The SOCOM gear one isn't the same as the Face/Off one. It's just a standard classic M1911A1 with a gold finish. There are no front slide serrations and the hammer and trigger are just a standard M1911A1 hammer and trigger.

Re: Faceoff M1911

There was a guy from arnies who created a pair in stainless, very well done......look under projects. The only way you will get 100% accurate is by buying a stock 1911 (recommend a TM) then buy the separrate parts, I think airsoft surgeon does a similar slide all the other parts are quite common and easy to aquire. As for gold plating I would speak to Kodiak as he gold plated his Desert Eagle and they did a very good job of it......either way this will be very expensive if you do it properly. For the grips had a quick view on google and there doesn't seem to be any decent replicas so they will also have to be a custom built job as well....

Re: Faceoff M1911

Sorry for the really late post but:

WA did them, exact replicas, can be seen if you type "Western Arms face off" in google. Its a V12 i think.

They are fapping expensive though!!

Also WA sell a silver version too, but still over $300!

Prime makes Springfield V12 metal kit for WA 1911 in brass!!! But good luck finding one!
As for the price is about $750 per kit plus the gun!!!

Re: Faceoff M1911

Perhaps buy the gun that fits the description the best, and then look for a company which has a gold dip machine. Maybe chuck a few notes their way, and they would do your 1911

Re: Faceoff M1911

Re: Faceoff M1911

I got halfway there with a WE M1911 Meu (see my avatar), just didn't get round to doing the dragon inlays on the grips. WA did a replica, all you really need is a 1911 with Smith and Wesson trades in gold, with black hardware... Ideally with the V12 barrel vents.

But if you want to do this properly, it really is gonna cost ya!

Re: Faceoff M1911

I had a WA V12, awful gun, looks sexy but shoots like a musket!

I think as suggested, its best to do a full custom job.

I think gold 1911's would certainly sell better if they weren't always limited edition, along with an AMT Hardballer/Longslide !! alas! These voids will never be filled!

Re: Faceoff M1911

i was after the we 1911 in gold last week after looking in to it they only made 500 world wide so i got a gold we m92 in the end. but i have just picked up a we 1911 to have 24k coated so i think thats the only way to get one
