[Steve J]

IDPA's first CDP World Champion is Glenn Shelby of Wilson Combat shooting a 1911 the only way it should be. http://www.shootingwire.com/story/246030 Paid factory shooters have won the last several nationals with those distasteful plastic interlopers.

Congratulations, Glenn!!

[CSEMARTIN]

I came on to share my 1911 story of the day and saw Steve J's post. Awesome job Glenn!

Today, the topic of music came up at work. One of the guys I work with asked me if I played any musical instruments. I said Yes! I play the 1911. He says, "I've never heard of that instrument. What is it exactly?" I proceed to tell him it's an instrument made out of steel, only plays one note really loud and with only one tempo...FAST.

"You mean like a .45 ACP?" he says.

"Yes, and it takes years to learn how to play one song really well."

Had to show off my new magwell!!

nIce.

How do you like it? I've been considering one.

Very smooth and easy

[justaute]

Thanks, Steve. As soon as I become "decent" in Production, then I'll start shooting some SS minor. I've seen you shoot SS -- awesome.

Devil of the Devils -- 1911 in 9mm However, I'm just a normal, devilish Production guy shooting a customized CZ Shadow.

DUDE!

That's a FINE lookin' gun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(no really, that's frickin awesome)

Woo Hoo, I'm back in the top 5!

Here's the latest one from the Indoor match last sunday. Single stack. 99% on the classifier (stage 3). Check out the side by side at the end. I tried two different reload sequences to see which was faster. We can shoot two divisions, I shot the skinny gun in both. Gives me a chance to try different things to see what's faster. I had a really good day. The third stage has been discussed in the "Tight shots" thread from ihatepickles. I shot T3 and worked clockwise so I could zip the last two quick before grabbing the mag.

Results from the two side by side runs:

149 0 20.32 7.3327 160.0000 100.00%

152 0 19.78 7.6845 160.0000 100.00%

I would to take myself off probation now! With approval from the powers that be

[Merlin Orr]

Wow... Nice work!

Shaun looks like he is shooting about as fast as I can. BUT, he is aiming too.

Corey looks mortal the one time he misses a mag change.........

Thanks. 185gr Missouri LSWC over Clays. The 185's hit closer to point of aim with my fixed sights.

After the Tennessee Sectional back in August, I had to take a little time off to heal an injury.

I thought it was a good time to send my 1911 Springer off to the gunsmith for a make-over.

Rich at Canyon Creek Custom was asked to install a magwell.

I chose the Heinie with matching Cocobolo grips.

Since Rich already had the gun, I thought I would do a little cosmetic work as well.

He snake-bellied and fluted the slide, and installed a new mainspring housing.

I also had the frame hard chromed and the slide and external controls hard blued.

The results are shown below.

Please excuse my poor photography.

These photos don't do it justice.

When I opened the case, it took my breath away.

But now it's too pretty to shoot!

But now it's too pretty to shoot!

I think I can force myself to shoot it.

I might have to stop and clean it between stages though.

[Steve J]

It looks pretty nice in those 'bad' photos. Please let us know how the Rich's hard blue holds up to holster wear.

[pbosik]

That is a beauty! Wow..

Just for the record, here is the before and after.

(not actual gun, pic downloaded from Springfield)

This model is what Springfield Armory calls "Black Stainless".

It is stainless steel with a black coat and the flats polished to a chrome finish.

The contrast is awesome.

It's a pretty good looking shooter right out ot the box.

However, after 7 seasons of USPSA, the black finish on the top of the slide, the trigger guard and the magwell were getting pretty chewed up.

This gun has now been worked on by:

Rusty Kidd; hand fitted Kart National Match barrel and bushing, Bomar rear sight, Dawson Fiber optic.

Jeff Walle; Brazos trigger group, SVI Speed trigger.

Derek Janowicz; Wilson Combat ambi safety.

Rich Dettelhouser; Heinie magwell, hard chrome / hard blue, snake belly and flute slide.

The custom work has now exceeded the original price of the gun by about 200%

It was worth it.

Nice job Rich.

Hows it shoot compared with before all the stuff was done?

The work was done over the course of several years.

The first order of business was accurizing the gun.

Like most production model 1911's, accuracy did not meet my personal standards.

A match barrel hand fitted, clean trigger that breaks at about 2-2 1/2 lbs combined to make this one of the most accurate pistols I have ever owned.

The safety was important because I'm a lefty and the stock safety was just too narrow.

The fiber optic and Bomar replaced factory tritium sights.

Fiber optic definately improves my transitions to the target.

The factory magwell was servicable, but the straight line magazines and small opening would never let me come close to the reloads I get with my limited gun's larger well.

The Heinie seems to improved the situation. I especially like the fact that the magwell wraps all the way around the front of the frame.

I'd say the work created a much more viable competiton gun.

It all served a purpose, ..... except maybe the cosmetics.

That I did for me.

Life's too short to dance with ugly women or shoot ugly guns.
