Armscor MEDALLION SERIES

[gotangco]

armscor added new 1911s in the lineup. It comes in standard and hicap. does anyone know how it shoots? any feed back on the gun?

[geneh]

I bought one just over a week ago, have not had the chance to shoot it yet. Mine has a fiber optic front sight. The blue finish is very high polish compared to my CD and Rock Island. The only concern I have is the LPA rear sight blade seems loose. It came with two 8 round novak mags. The slide to frame fit is very nice with just a small amount of movement. Hope to be able to shoot it before the week is out.

[gotangco]

novak mags! thats good, they use to come with MECGAR mags.... tell me how it shoots ok...... :)

[geneh]

Finally made it to the range with it yesterday, didn't have any time for bench rest. It seems that the extractor maybe to tight, had to push the back of the slide several times for it to go home. Used wolf 230 and armscor 230 ball ammo. My target was the dangerous 20 oz coke bottle at 25 yards. It was hard to miss with that pistol, I didn't do quite so well with the Rock Island, I think sights had a lot to do with it.

[gotangco]

Thank you very much for the info. I'll be getting one soon. I'll be testing it out on when i get it. i'll be shooting on the a coke bottle to :)

heres my baby...well for me its very satisfying kinda tight at first but as soon as you exceed 200 rnds its smooth as silk. havnt jammed since day one, well atleast 200 rnds of fmj....and the rest 1800 rnds or more reloads cuz theyre much cheaper...hope to try atleast 50 rnds of hollow point once i get the chance to fit it in the budget...or maybe i just got lucky...

like labuyo said it cost only arnd $280...well i guess its a different unit, cuz i got mine for arnd PHP 42,000 including paper work thats arnd $764.00...well if his right than i got ripped of majorly by my gun store....GRRRRRRR!!!!!(:

Hi all,

Newbie here. Got one from the last gun show at Megamall. It is the standard model. Have to wait 3-4 weeks though before I get my hands on it. Have any malfunctions or broken parts so far? What ammo did you use to break it in?

[valor1]

aj acosta,
what is that rear sight? is it a bomar? do they come with pachmayr grips nowadays?

[1911 9mm]

valor
not all medallions are fitted with bomar and pachmayr grips, i think its only the medallion tactical now are fitted with bomar adjustable and pachs, some are fitted with optics

[valor1]

thanks for clearing it up 1911 9mm. nice gun aj acosta

[kutsero]

The standard model comes with fiber optic front sight and novak snag free rear sights. Standard wooden grips. At least that was what was on display at the gun show.

[kutsero]

Does anyone know if these have a firing pin block safety? Or any other Armscor pistol for that matter.

[valor1]

kutsero,
Armscors are based on the Series 70 pistols (meaning they don't have firing pin blocks or safety).

[kutsero]

Thanks for the info valor1.

[kutsero]

will be getting the gun after 3 or so weeks of waiting. can't wait to test it out. hope that i don't get a lemon :)

[kutsero]

Finally got the chance to fire the gun. 150 rounds (so far) fmj with no stoppages. Hits are on POA. Expectations met.


http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a148/kutsero/Medstd.jpg

[kutsero]

All clean and shiny again :D


http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a148/kutsero/Medstd2.jpg

[kutsero]

one of the mags got a crack on the feed lip. noticed it during a range session. more or less 250 rounds has gone through the mag. brought it up with armscor and they say it will be replaced. no idea though if it will be the same model (novak's by act-mag). anyone else suffered the same problem with their novak mags?

[SUPERMAN .45]

Nnice gun you got there.

[kutsero]

Still no replacement mag. Don't even know if they are going to replace it with the same model. :mad:

[Tokarev]

Hey, gang!

Any more owners of the Medallions on here? I've got a line on a hi-cap .40 and will get some pictures and info posted as soon as I can.

[Wasatch801]

Hey, gang!

Any more owners of the Medallions on here? I've got a line on a hi-cap .40 and will get some pictures and info posted as soon as I can.

Tokarev, please do post when you get yours. I'd like to see what the current ones look like. I'm also interested in purchasing one of these as well. Thanks!

[3006mv]

Are the Hi-Viz front sights dovetail bases? Or are they narrow tenons? How do the sights line up? Are they accurate/consistant, where do they print on paper, hi/low? and from what distance are you shooting?

[kutsero]

The frontsights on my medallion standard are dovetail base. Regarding the POI, it is dead on approximately 25 feet from target from my experience.

[KCboy]

is itr woth it to go and get the top of the line medallion or jst get a norico or cheaper armscor 1011s abd set it up slowly.

[Tokarev]

I got my Medallion Hi-cap .40 a couple days ago and took it to the range this afternoon.

I have to say that fit and finish is good. The gun looks much better than the run-of-the-mill Rock Island. Too bad it doesn't feed! I'll have to get some tweaking done.

[ArmscorBA]

Tokarev,
We ran 200 rds of our Armscor 40 cal ammo through your pistol, No problems! You using your homemade Voodoo rounds?
Ivan

[Tokarev]

Tokarev,

Ivan

Ivan,

I ran the gun with factory Federal ammo. Most problems came from bullets getting pushed into the case mouth or feeding about halfway and stalling just under the extractor.

I have some 1.2" ammo that runs wonderfully in my STI. I'll give that stuff a try as soon as I can.

[ArmscorBA]

Tokarev,
The ammo that we ran was factory lenght Armscor. Same as I run in mine! Are you using the factory mag? ;) We shot that pistol till the smoke detector went off! :D
Ivan
PS Truncated Full Metal Jacket Bullet.
I

[Tokarev]

Thanks, Ivan.

I am at a loss as to why I have problems and you didn't. The ammo I used is Federal XM40SWB. It's 155-grain and has a rather pointed ogive. I only have the one mag so far.

I am going to send the gun to my friend Virgil Tripp while he's still taking in custom work. I'll get him to take a look at things and tune accordingly. I want to get it chromed anyway, as that finish is unbeatable on a competition gun.

Sorry for the delay, guys. I'll get some pictures up one of these days.

[ArmscorBA]

Tokarev,
If you don't like the pistol, send it back! I will shoot it! :p
Ivan

[Tokarev]

Tokarev,
If you don't like the pistol, send it back! I will shoot it! :p
Ivan

Ivan,

I have no intention of returning the gun!

I planned on getting it chromed from the start. Virgil's chrome is top notch and it's all but impervious to holster wear.

[Tokarev]

As an update, the gun loves Winchester 165 grain "white box" ammo. I fired 100 rounds through the gun this afternoon without a hitch. Accuracy is good, the trigger is good and fit and finish is great. What more can you ask from any handgun at any price?

[ArmscorBA]

Tokarev,
How about the 180gr?
Ivan

[Tokarev]

Tokarev,
How about the 180gr?
Ivan

Ivan,

I haven't had a chance yet to shoot any 180-grain ammo through the gun. Hopefully weekend after next...

[ArmscorBA]

Tokarev,
Please let me know how it goes! Stop racing your limited pistols!!!! :D :D :D
Ivan

[AnimalKracker]

Well I have to say it, IF other companies took as much interest in their products and customers as the Reps. that hang out here do, they'd have a lot more repeat customers. To the customer reps. here. SALUTE!

[Tokarev]

Absolutely correct! Ivan's great about monitoring the boards and reponding to posts.

[ArmscorBA]

Tokarev,
Is that good or bad! In your case? ;) :D
Ivan

[AnimalKracker]

If the "other" companies took a look at this board they'd find out all the things that they'd ever want to know about their products and what the customers want in a product.

[ArmscorBA]

Yup! ;)
Ivan

[Tokarev]

Tokarev,

Ivan,

It's great that you're here. How many reps from S&W or Colt get on here and reply to complaints, questions, praise, etc?

[ArmscorBA]

None that I know of! :nono:
Ivan

[ArmscorBA]

Tokarev,
Are you going to the single stack match in CA.?
Ivan

[Tokarev]

I'd love to come out to the S.S./production match but don't think I'll have the time this year. Probably the only other big match I'll make this year will be Area II. And hopefully the Nationals.

[ArmscorBA]

Tokarev,
You should shoot the American Handgunner/ STI/ Winchester shootoff!
Ivan

[Tokarev]

Thanks, Ivan.

Sorry for the delay, guys. I'll get some pictures up one of these days.

Just a quick update if anybody is still following this.

I shot 200 rounds of various ammo types/styles through the gun yesterday with no failures to feed. I used two factory Para Ordnance P-16 magazines with Dawson extended basepads. Ammo capacity with the basepads is 21 packed rounds or an easily-loaded 20 rounds. That's as much ammo as a Vietnam era M-16!

I don't know if it was the Para nickle plating or maybe the rounds sit a little higher in the feed lips. Either way, the Para mags have made me one happy camper!

[ArmscorBA]

Tokarev,
Cool! :)
Ivan

[Auto Mag]

I hope to be posting a picture of my new Armscor Medallion when it arrives in a few days. It is a single stack 45ACP. :D :D :D

[Tokarev]

I'm happy to report that I used the Armscor at a local club match this morning and it ran perfectly. I had a couple brain farts but I can't blame those on the gun!

Get one while you can, guys. This is a fantastic pistol!

[ArmscorBA]

Tovarev,
Thanks! How is the battle at the border going?
Ivan

not all medallions are fitted with bomar and pachmayr grips, i think its only the medallion tactical now are fitted with bomar adjustable and pachs, some are fitted with optics

[eric_31571]

hi! to all Medallion tactical owner. may I ask if it is worth the price? I do like the black finish of the gun. can you tell me what are the specs that differ from the standard armscor.

[Sniper888]

Hi! to all Any feedback re tactical medallion i bought mine but it will take 1 mo to 2 before it gets into my hand, have 9mm millenium taurus already but i guess the tactical is better appreciate feedback re the tactical of armscor...

[dy3ris]

hi! i also bought a tactical medallion. i should be able to get it within two weeks. i'll give you a feedback as soon as i get.

[Sniper888]

hi! i also bought a tactical medallion. i should be able to get it within two weeks. i'll give you a feedback as soon as i get.

where did you bought your tactical medallion? what tactical did you bought? grabe ang tagal pala to acquire the medallion my friend have one he told me it comes with bomar sight & ed brown trigger. did you bought the pachmayr grip? imean the A1 fsfc style?

[dy3ris]

the model i bought is just like the one posted by aj acosta on page 1. it comes with a LPA sights, not bomar. the pachmayr grip is standard on the tactical model. i ordered it during the last gunshow at megamall.

[dy3ris]

hi! to all Medallion tactical owner. may I ask if it is worth the price? I do like the black finish of the gun. can you tell me what are the specs that differ from the standard armscor.

hi! considering all the extras that come with the Medallion Tactical, it is a bargain. the most important feature of the Medallion is that it is hand fitted by a resident gunsmith. as a result, the slide to frame fit is tighter than a normal fit for a 1911, among others. also, it has checkerings that are not found on the standard armscor. it also comes with an adjustable LPA rear sight. it is a bomar type sight. i've tried one and i would say that it has a crisp trigger compared to a standard armscor. again, another feature of it being hand fitted by a gunsmith.

i've been to all the divisions in practical shooting except the revolver division. it is in the standard division that i've decided to finally settle in. and the armscor Medallion Tactical would be my firearm of choice. all you need is to put in a magwell and that's it!

happy shooting!

[Sniper888]

thats the one i bought mine is hard chrome. The pics posted by acosta is pachmyr grip.

[Buddy]

Kutsero,
Like you, i got mine too at the last Gun show at Megamall. Its a 9mm 1911-A1 FS Blued for only $210. Ive shot 600 rnds & expecting some problem to come up but so far theres none. think Its a good buy & its really an inexpensive working man's defense pistol.

Hi all,

Newbie here. Got one from the last gun show at Megamall. It is the standard model. Have to wait 3-4 weeks though before I get my hands on it. Have any malfunctions or broken parts so far? What ammo did you use to break it in?

[Sniper888]

So what you have is the 1911 9mm? the one i bought is 1911 45 tactical medallion Fully hard chrome it cost me 45k + 6k for the lisence roughly $1000.00. i have also 9mm its taurus millenium series. but i guess the tactical is better when it comes to practical shooting.

Mine is the Medallion standard model. Caliber 45, single stack, novak rear sight, fiber optic front sight, no serrations at front of slide, wood grips, deep blue finish, 2 novak(by act-mag) 8 rounder mags. Got it during the July, 2005 gunshow. Paid $640 for gun + license + gun club membership. Gun itself was discounted by 30%.
The tactical model looks good but some of it's features I can do without. What I was after was the hand fitting. The difference in price I used to buy me bullets, holster, range time and additional CMC 10 rounder mag.
As it is, the Medallion is a very reliable pistol which would not need any further smithing (at least with mine :D ).
Only problem I encountered were with bad reloads and a cracked feed lip in one of the novak mags (by act-mag, seems to be a common problem-search the threads)that was replaced by Armscor under warranty. ;)

[Freedom]

How many rounds in the Hi Capacity Medallion? Springfield makes one with 13 rounds. Is the Medallion close to that?

[Auto Mag]

Freedom, not actually positive but I think it is 13 rounds of 45ACP in the Hi Cap and 18 rounds in the 9MM Wide Body.

[Freedom]

Does any one have a picture of the Hi capacity Medallion or a link to a web page?

[Auto Mag]

Freedom, on page 4 of this thread Tokarev has a picture of his Armscor Medallion Hi Cap. :)

[Freedom]

Your talking about this thing?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v221/tokarev/Medallion/972697542107_0_BG.jpg

How much did it cost?
I might be interested in one of them :)

[ArmscorBA]

That is a 40 cal Armscor medallion. $650.00 plus shipping I only have one blued and three two toned left.
Ivan

[Freedom]

:D wish I had that kind of cash on hand.

Maybe in the future. It will have to go on my wish list.

Hi! dy3ris did you get your tactical medallion? how is it?

[dy3ris]

the computer at the FED was down last friday. hopefully, i can get my hands on my medallion by tom.....
i'm keeping my fingers crossed. i'll give you guys feedback as soon as i get back from the range.
i had a chance to shoot the standard model .45 single stack last week during practice at the range. shot 2 stages with it. it performed well. i hit more alphas than i was expecting considering that i'm used to shooting a 9mm tanfoglio combat model. recoil was manageable.
i'm expecting that the medallion would perform even better than the standard model. i'll keep you guys posted...

Hi! got my new tactical medallion 45 yesterday although at first i got dissappointed im expecting it all fully hard chrome but when i got it the top of it was sun blast finish. i brought it to local gunsmith surprisingly he told me that the looks like mac4 finish he even show me the real mac4 own by afp general. he told me thats the best finish that he saw compared with the previous release of armscor. i had a chance to took it the range had a 100 rds of fmj And im hapi so say the performance does well compared to my taurus 9mm millenium and i can say the medallion really worth the price.

guys! here's a picture of my test fire on my medallion. the group on top has 8 rounds through it. i fired it freestyle, standing from 10 meters. the second group below has 9 rounds through it from the bench at 10 meters.

i would say that it is a pretty accurate pistol based on my group shots. i'm still getting used to its trigger pull so i may be able to improve the grouping next time. there are two flyers on the first group and another one on the second group. if we dont consider those, it would be a tight group.

[dy3ris]

be happy to

first go to photobuck.com and set up an account - its free.
then upload you pictures to the site - leave the site open on your broswer.
after the picture uploads then copy the url for the picture you want to post.

[Longslide]

old-lefty@sbcglobal.net

It says the same thing at the bottom of my browser for the forum also. It has to be some small issue with how you are doing it.

Hi! guys went to firing range yesterday shot again 200 rds of fmj... this time i had a problem with mecgar magazine last load of the magazine always jammed..when i used the mccormick mag dont have any prob at all... dont know if theres something to do with the magwel. the gunsmith made adjustment with the magazine for fitting after putting the s & a magwel...

[kutsero]

Hi! kutsero...have you seen my pistols longslide posted it for me i think it in the page 11 in the thread hope youll see for comment...

in time, i'll have mine refinished in hardchrome too.
regarding last round jamming, magazine spring may still be tight. did you dissassemble the magazine previously? if so, the spring may be in backwards.

thanxs or the info. the gunsmith disassemble the magazine they have to do something so the magazine will fit in the magwel i guess its something to do with the 2 mecgar magazine coz when i used the mccormick ( which is not touch by the gunsmith ) i didnt experience any problem with my firing. it never jammed.

[Tokarev]

Here are some pictures of my Medallion now that it's back from Tripp Research. Virgil is no longer taking in custom gunsmithing but he's still doing the chrome thing.

I had Virgil tune the gun so it'll run with hollowpoints, lighten up the trigger, install a big button on the mag release and install the Dawson mag funnel. I had some feeding problems with the Mec-Gar mag that came with the pistol but it runs fine with Para Ordnance mags and long loaded ammo. And now it runs with JHP's loaded to an overall length of 1.13"

This is an outstanding pistol!

HI, i have been lurking around for several months and have been drooling over a single-stack medallion at the armscor range/ being a glock shooter i am not famliar about what after-market parts is installed in the medallion. I notice that the grips are pachmayr and the mags are mecgar, are the sights made by armscor? What other after market parts are used? Is the medallion worth buying over the practical series? thanks

[Longslide]

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST LOOKING MEDALLION ON ANY OF THE FORUMS THAT I HAVE SEEN!!!

Hi! otaku, check page 9 of this thread so you can see the pics of my tactical medallion hard chrome, longslide posted it for me, the medallion came out with adjustable lpa sight ( bomar ) and dove tail front sight. however ive replaced the mecgar magazine to mc cormick chip. coz the mecgar does not fit well with my magwel. i can assure the price is worth for the medallion. ive been using it every week in the range @ least 70 rds till now no problem yet.

[Longslide]

Sniper
Seems your medallion is running very well!
You have a very nice one. I have the standard as you know, I would love to get a widebody medallion in 45acp blued or hard chrome but none available.

[thepresAPI/RIA]

ok looks like there is a big request for medallions. Ivan can special order it. 90-120 day delivery. he'll hate me for the extra work.

Sir,

What is the possibility of getting some custom guns brought in? I'd really like to know if it'd be possible to have a high capacity 9mm USPSA open gun made by the factory and imported into the US.

Thanks!

[thepresAPI/RIA]

talk to ivan. we'll see what we can do

[Auto Mag]

talk to ivan. we'll see what we can do

Alright guys and gals, with what other firearms company would you find a post by the president of the company about the possibility of a custom gun for a loyal member!!!!! None that I am aware of!!!! :D :D

You cannot go wrong with Martin, Ivan and the crew at RIA/Armscor!!!!! :) :) :)

Wow your hard chromed medallion looks outstanding Sniper888, The medallion displayed at the Armscor range at makati comes with blued finished, they told me i could have it chromed after i bought it/ did yours come in hard chrome already? how much did you pay for it ? i think the blued one cost around 38k pesos/ I am really getting confused on what to buy for my first 1911, the medallion, PT1911, or the Spartan ( once it comes out). If ever you will be at the Armscor range in makati pls let me know.

Hi! otaku! its a different thing when you buy a blued finished then youll have it chrome. i was also adviced by bengie of armscor of makati to do that but i hesitated & called armscor main they told me if you prefer the chrome you might as well order for a chrome finished, the process is different from other gunsmith who offer chrome finishing. fortunately i got my medallion hard chrome for 2 weeks only. 3 days for the ptc. armscor main refer me to squires & good thing they have delivery on that day.. 45k for hard chrome,top slide is already sun blast. my magazine release right now is left & right coz im left handed i also replace the green dove tail to red for visibility. put s & a magwell also. for pt1911 you might have a problem in case you want it to be customised have the specs check consider for possible upgrade as you know my pt 111 millinieum works well but the parts is always unavailable.

Hi Sniper888, thanks for the info, i was just at Armscor makati yesterday and the blued finished cost already 39k+++ pesos, might as well get the chromed one for the additional few thousands. According to Trust Trade the blued PT1911 will be on display next week and cost lower than the medallion, but your right, for a first time maker of a 1911 it might be wise to have a wait-and-see attitude to make sure all the bugs have been worked out. I usually shot at Armscor makati on mondays due to the cheaper bullets on that day, maybe you could let me shot a few rounds on your medallion :D

oh i see, so they already increase the price it used to be 35k only for the blued finish. why dont you wait for gun show this november @ least you will be able to get around 15 to 20% discount. regarding pt 1911 the problem with taurus is the trigger, its hard to use it in the range due to trigger allowance. im not sure if they are going to come up with combat trigger & hammer. ive seen it in the internet it cost around $700.

"WARNING TO ALL MEMBERS"

Guys avoid buying from MARKSMAN in makati cinema square they are selling defective merchandise and to make things worst! they will give you a hard time to refund your money! do you know their reason? they dont have money! Gosh what kind of business establishment is that! :mad:

[max_paine]

sir,what is the detailed difference between the practical and medallion series? tnx.

[Sniper888]

sir,what is the detailed difference between the practical and medallion series? tnx.


The practical series is just an upgraded of their GI series. The medallion is already customize, all you have to is break in the unit. however in my case i also made some changes in my pistol. the medallion came with lpa bomar sight and front dovetail sight, it also comes with combat trigger and hammer, left and right ambi, sun blasted top slide ( for fully hard chrome unit ) pachmyr grip, 8 rounds mecgar mags but i suggest you use mc cormick mags so you wont have prob in mag feed. check the pics of my unit longslide posted it for me i think its in page 11 of this thread, you can also check the pic of dyris unit for the medallion blued finish..

thanks for the warning, actually i am looking for a good pair of sights for my glock (sorry for mentioning the brand ) do you know any store selling HIVIZ or maybe a good brand of night sights.

yup! you can try in twin pines alimall or true weight araneta...

[max_paine]

sir sniper...what can you suggest? i'l get the practical series and customized it on my own or get the medallion?

[Sniper888]

sir sniper...what can you suggest? i'l get the practical series and customized it on my own or get the medallion?




well if you want it to be customized and you want to come up with a nice pistol i suggest you buy the GI series its quite cheaper compared to practical series anyway you will change almost everything. trigger,hammer,sight,magwell,checkering you can have it long gas too it comes with bull barrel. however parts and all the gunsmith expences to sum it all it might be expensive rather than buying the medallion series. for medallion series all you have to add is the magwell the rest is ok. you just have to break in the unit.

[dy3ris]

max_paine,

there's a gun show at megamall this month. why don't you come and check out the booth of armscor?

regarding your question, the answer really depends on your needs. are you going to use the gun purely for sports? if so, it is better to get the medallion and then just add a magwell. if it will double as a carry gun, i would suggest that you get a practical series and then customize it to your liking. the reason? the medallion's sights, the front sight with fiber optic and the lpa rear sights are not "carry friendly". the practical series has a novak type rear sight. snag free as they say. also, if you are going to use an IWB holster, a novak type sight is for you. i've tried using a fanny pack on my medallion and the front sight got caught on the built in holster.

hope this helps in your decision.
