aandabooks Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 What can I actually do to the outside of my 1911 and remain legal? Front cocking serrations? Tri-top? Recut rear serrations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racknrider Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Yes, yes, and yes. And that's about it. See appendix D5 assuming single stack Edited December 4, 2016 by racknrider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviesterno Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 paint and grips, too. Sounds like you're trying to trim weight. if so, all the stuff you mentioned works. You can also get someone to hog out some of the inside of the slide, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjones6686 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 All those are legal. I also see some people do High Power cuts on the front of the slide instead of cocking serrations to make weight. My Ford Shooter's Custom 40cal 1911 is tri-topped and has high power cuts on the front of the slide. It's just under 43oz with a empty magazine.

fastluck13 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 What are you trying to do? Are you talking weight, aesthetics, grip, magwell? The options are endless within the strict confines of God's division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aandabooks Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 I haven't actually weighed the 9mm 1911 but I added a Dawson Ice magwell and it came with a FLGR. It might need to loose a little weight. This one is a RIA that I did the trigger on last night. I have a mill and wouldn't mind trying out cutting on a 1911. I've done some cutting on M&Ps, Glocks and a couple others. I don't imagine I can get away with doing something like ZEV does with Glocks? The rules explicitely state a few cuts but then get a little vague about what exactly excess milling is. Here's a M&P I did a while ago. I know I can't cut all the way through a 1911 but I think even this might be considered excessive milling.s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastluck13 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Yeah, 9mm guns can be close on weight. None of the cuts all tne way through will fly. Serratioms, tri topping, and the like are OK as is internal. You can usually lose everything you need from inside the grips, the frame cut under the grips, and/or a GI guide rod. I like flat topped and serrated or a clark rib vs tri topped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
