Re: 1911s + Variants

That's more like it. You know what would be awesome? Drill 2 holes on the top of the slide to screw in the sight directly

Compact 1911 I'm building. Part MEU, Night Warrior, Detonics and bits from an old TM Centimeter Master NBB.

Re: 1911s + Variants

Looks good. How did you get a bomar on a detonics slide? Also, needs wood grips!

Re: 1911s + Variants

I quite literally chopped the slide up and filed a dovetail groove into the top of it. The Bo Mar is a cheap plastic unit from a TM NBB, so it's really easy to work with and attaches with a plastic dovetail rather than the usual TM 1911 style sight that slots in above the BBU. It's not a perfect fit (I filed too much away in most areas) but isn't too bad for a quick custom job.



Ideally I will find a TM Strike Warrior slide for it, which has a dotted front sight. Then I can do the same work to it but neater. Also need to gather the courage to slice into the grips, frame, mainspring housing to make a bobtail cut. Very unlikely it'll work, but if it did it would certainly be unique.

Re: 1911s + Variants

Hi Apurturesci,

Looks very nice.

Did you chop the frame, where the frame sits just under the front of the top slide or is that standard length. Also pls can you tell me the length of the top slide ?

Re: 1911s + Variants

The slide is a Detonics one which is about 15 cm long overall with a 3.3" barrel. The frame was indeed cut back a little to look like it was made for the shorter Detonics slide.

Re: 1911s + Variants

Bobtail! Needs filler and paint, but the shape is there and it works fine.

Re: 1911s + Variants

Fitted a shaped hammer spring housing to mine, which makes it a lot nicer to grip, like the series 70. I actually thought it would make the double stacked grip a bit too large to hold, but it fits the hand perfectly now.

Also swapped out the 3 hole trigger for a flat type. Amazing the difference in feel from the trigger, it's only 1mm shorter than the 3 hole one I had, but feels a lot crisper

This is by far my favourite gun on zero in. Might have to "take inspiration" from you one of these when I've finished work on the meu :p
