Clark Custom Meltdown

[august1410]

While looking for 1911 parts and accessories, I came across this interesting specimen. Not sure whether I like it because it's weird or it's the fugliest thing I have ever seen.

It's called the Meltdown and it's from Clark Custom Guns. It's based on a Caspian 1911 and sells for $2225. All the edges have been smoothed for easy carry, etc....

Looks like a play-doh gun!

Not big on that color but I like the smooth rounded edges.

I like it, not for 2225 though.

Clark has a very good rep and has been in business for a long time. 2500 is not really all that bad.

I have a Clark Custon in long slide. It's compensated but not melted. It rocks. A little research will tell you folks call them " the revenge of the belt sander.". There are several smiths who will melt a gun. It's just major de-horning by another name. It makes the job of holstering and shucking mui easier. I'd get it in a heart beat had I the cash. Anyone want a nice FN PS90 ???

Worth every nickle. You shoot one Clark and you'll wonder if it really is a 1911 45.

Nothing wrong with a little de-horning, but that is a bit extreme. They actually changed the look of the gun.

Are these approved for marylandistan?

Nice piece Joe, I wouldn't kick it out of bed.

 

[Mooseman]

I like the looks of the gun, but not the color. Either way, it is a little rich for my blood.

A meltdown should feel like a well used bar of soap. Nothing to dig in or wear on clothes.

Might be a great shooter, but that thing is FUGLY!
