I wanted to try making a excellent 1911 from a good basic pistol;
1. Purchased a Ruger Commander frame 1911 at a gun show for $650
2. Installed a Cylinder and Slide TAC 4 parts set for $140.
3. Installed Pachmyr wrap around grips $29
4. Installed a Wilson combat Bullet Proof slide stop which I had in my parts box
5. Got two Wilson Combat magazines for $25 each at a gun show.
Result is a excellent pistol for less then $900
Only gunsmithing required was a tiny bit of stoning to clearance the safety stop stud with a stone.
I will try and get a picture...The grips really make this pistol look and its shoots so well...crisp trigger right at 4 lbs.
