Great choice!

42 and a half ...and I am completely comfortable with that at any Level 3. Just make sure that you measure with a couple different scales and after any mod or cleaning....

No, for the most part they were plenty accurate for the game. I replaced all with EGW and SV parts, and had my triggers at 2lb breaks. Cast frames were no issue vs Forged for me...and I think the fatigue worrying is just not reality. The front strap serrations on the Tripp are pronounced and the Trojan has chainlink only...of which I added grip tape. The Tripp has the highest trigger guard undercut that I have felt, and a square trigger guard (if you grip that way). Tripp feels more robust and heavier in the hand but well balanced. Both my Trojan builds and Tripp come under the 43oz USPSA SS requirement...albeit the Tripp was by 1/2 oz while the Trojans were by 2 ounces. Can't go wrong with either...BUT, after I replaced all parts in the Trojans, including full length guide rod, ambi thumb safety, etc, the Trojan was 1200-1400 plus 600 in parts....that should make your decision easier.

I have rebuilt and ran over half a dozen Trojans in 9mm, 40 and 45....do the Tripp would be my suggestion.

I think dumping the 1911 single stack platform is a mistake. These were "go to" pistols with undercut trigger guards, easy to change firing components, etc. I rebuilt over a dozen Trojans and will miss working with them and seeing their contribution to the IPSC/USPSA world as the years go by...

I have one. Had it for about a year. I have a 9mm and a 40S&W top end. Very tight with zero failures in any accord. Virgil does a great job with fitment and will accommodate various requests.

Thanks all, ordered a Wilson Bulletproof.....

Having another 1911 build being finalized from Virgil. Considering one piece magwell solutions.. Needs to be IPSC compliant, deep magwell that blends with internal frame easily and with seemless transition. Anyone ran or has thoughts on Ed Brown's Hardcore vs/or Wilson Combat's Bullet Proof one piece MSH/magwell solutions?

Thanks zzt! Great info and gave me more to ponder!

Looks great!

What size and type of dowels do you use?

I know this was a topic 5 or so years ago, but am wondering if there are recent offerings. Really just looking for quality barrel/slide/frame fitment. I am fairly adept at building from that point as I no longer have larger fitment tools, but have a plethora of SV/EGWEtc parts ready for a build out. Any current providers experiences?

Few quick questions. I have a variety of STI/SVI parts and wanted to build a backup 1911. I have built only STI Trojans and Sentrys, so know the S-I parts are fairly easy to install. Any such ease of fitment with the beaver tail profiles/trigger channel/firing system to the DW? I do prefer the undercut trigger guard I run on my main guns, so anyone modified the DW via dremel, etc?

Tango Elite or the Para. Played with a Para a couple weeks ago, Canadian manufactured,....great bang for the buck.

Well, best to scratch this one off the Christmas list to the wife...

Anyone know if this is a stocked commodity in the US (or Canada for that matter)? Not keen on tapping out my fixed rear site for CO and would rather swap out the top end (and barrel). Thanks.

Really intrigued and interested in this pistol...hope it makes the IPSC/USPSA Production list and is reasonably accessible.

Wanted to do something a little more permanent. I am Canadian and do shoot back there on occasion, where mags are 10 round max. So like I was saying, since I had extras was just feeling out if there was an easy solution. I will just sell 6 of them and buy 6 10 rounders already stamped I guess.

I had the DAA racers for single stack only, but decided to go back to my long time favorite. CR Speeds with the spacer. I just find my hand naturally comes down to that area away from my best for the mag grab.

I have a number of K9s and am wondering how easy it would be to pin or stamp them to accept 10 rounds only? I know I buy them stamped to 10 rounds, but since I have them already and have a plethora of them, was wondering how easy (and reliable) this could be. Anybody done this to a K9? Obviously for production division use.

Received it today....lol. Its a solid 240mm mag....

Mine have been sitting fully loaded for a couple weeks now...trying them out next week.

Great catch... I am looking for a "JIC" situation and a little creativity. I am going to order the 45 and see if I can tweak it at all..if not, its $15....

Heard these were in Canada, not sure if they are here in the US. Checked with their online offerings and could not find a model of the Xcalibur that was Optics ready or inclusive. Anyone else have any info?

Well, you know I will venture back to the homeland to shoot it....
