I know, even Scott told me the 9mm 1911's are just flat out weird as hell when I dropped mine off up there.
Will the nitride finish make a difference on the wearing of stainless? I know stainless can gall and figured the nitride coating would help with t hat or they wouldn't use it?
I didn't think about the gold dot, that may be a change to the plan right there.
I was going to have the bulletproof safety sent to NH since I had read many good things about them, funny enough, since they were out of stock I decided to go with the in house NH model so as to not delay the build. So much for that.
I told the guy I would sit on it for a couple days and see. It'll give me time to figure it all out.
can you get your money back that is a joke of a time frame. I am getting 2 custom Ak's done faster lol
The Nitride helps a little, it hardens the surface from my understanding.
Sounds like you will end up with a good 1911, wether its 9mm or ,45 ACP.
I'll think about it, I kinda had my head wrapped around getting one from those guys for whatever reason. Once I get fixated on something, I don't usually let go.
Sometimes that's a good quality, sometimes it's a bad one.
I appreciate your input, it's always nice to have another point of view.
Glad to help you think it out. Another option mentioned is you could always get a Baer and then have the gun deburred/dehorned, refinished, swap sights, and swap grips. Youll still be at about what a Nighthawk runs.
Baer is definitely the way to go, especially if you plan to shoot the pistol. If you only want it for display, I would suggest the Colt Custom Shop.
