Black Stainless loaded my main CDP blaster

SS loaded .40 my main SS blaster

I'm finishing up a SS loaded 9mm that will look just like the .40 above but with boamars...might even shoot it at the PRO-AM if I get it done in time.

So... I needed a new single stack for this years SS Nationals so I gave the guys at the Springfield Custom Shop a call to see what they could do for me. And look what showed up today, an UNFIT OVERSIZED frame & slide for my new blaster.

Dang, I like knowing the right people

Defiantly will have to put together another 40 single stack. I built one in 1989 before ramped barrels were available for the 40 and no powder companies had loading data. I had to develop my own loads.

After blowing out way to many cases in my face (and still have the scars to prove it) trying to make a major load I gave it up.

Matt, will Springfield sell this set-up to any FFL? Or do you have to be SPECIAL…… B)

Thought I'd post a couple here too. My new Matt Cheely built 1911 in 45acp.

Caspian Frame/Slide, rear of slide serrations (Thanks Matt), Kart barrel, EGW fire control, Ed Brown beavertail, S&A magwell and a beautiful bluing job . Matt got it to weigh in at 40 oz. so I can use it in IDPA CDP too.

This is my favorite Government sized SS. It's a Kimber Custom Target model. I bought it from a young man who had tried to lighten the trigger and the grip safety wouldn't work and the half cock notch was missing. Pull the hammer back and let it go--- and it dropped with ease.

So after months of not finding a buyer... he let me steal it from him for $400. I replaced all the internals with match stuff from Wilson Combat including a new light weight hammer and beaver-tail. I added the Dawson FO front sight and then shot the crap out of it in IDPA for a couple years.

Thanks to the kydex holster.....the finish was totally worn off the slide so I gave it a make over. I added... new super wide thumb safety, new mag release, new snake skin mainspring housing from Ed Brown, new Bow-Mars and a new mag well... then I had the finish stripped and the slide and other externals done in hard chrome and the frame done in a black epoxy. I added a set of fresh springs and a trigger job by CSEMARTIN.

It's a eye catcher that shoots like a rifle.

Good looking blaster Paul. Hopefully someday I can have Matt build a similar one for me.

Thanks Ross,

Let me tell you, it was a true pleasure having Matt build this pistol. Matt spent considerable time communicating with me prior and during the build. Start to finish in less than 6 weeks too! I do not think you can go wrong having Matt Cheely build you a pistol.

Paul, that is one sweet looking blaster. :cheers: I can't wait until I get to watch you have fun with it. HOA is just over the horizon with that new toy.

By the way... I want to shoot it PLEASE!!!

Bill

Thanks for the kind words Bill & you are always more than welcome to shoot the rascal :cheers:

Heres a wacky one.

I just aquired this Colt 1911 MkIV Series 70 from a generous Uncle.

He said it was a Pin Gun, but didnt have the history.

Its got a Bomar extended sight rib and target sights with a 9"+ sight radius. Kart barrel, really tight action.

Heavy, heavy, spring. (for hot heavy pin loads?)

I guess I'd better go find some bowling pins;-)

None of my 1911's will qualify me for the single stack snob society, but this one was odd enough to post here.

just aquired from a fellow enos member. it came with a single sided safety and plain curved trigger so I just installed an SVI flat trigger and ambi wide safeties. next comes a new front sight. hard to see in the picture but the top and the rear of the slide are stippled, looks cool in person.
