Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

How Radical is the 'Tactical' Option

I am going to be ordering a concept VII in the near future and am considering the tactical option where sharp edges are removed. It would be nice to knock off the sharp edges, but I do not want a gun that looks like an old bar of soap like some of the more radical 'dehorning' jobs. If you own a gun with the 'tactical' treatment, I would like to hear your opinion on this.

P-II with tactical option

My P-II came with tactical option, that was the way Sporting Arms had ordered it, it is not radical at all. If they hadn't told me in advance, I might not have noticed. of course I am a 'newbie', this is my first 1911, and I have never handled a 1911 that was badly in need of de-horning, so I'm not sure just how bad it can get. but this is a nominal cost option, go ahead and get it, it is certainly not a futuristic melted bar of soap look.

Life has enough sharp edges as it is.

Thumbs up

The Concept VII is a great pistol, ordered mine through Davidsons Gallery of Guns. I assumed they all came that way.

Les Baer does just a nice Breaking of the sharp edges. Nothing radical.
Don't lose any sleep about it.
I'm sure you will love it. Enjoy!

After reading other post, I was also looking to order from Sporting Arms as their prices seemed very reasonable. When I went to their website, they had the concept VII listed with the tactical option and without it. Since it seems that it just involves knocking off the sharp edges I will try to get the 'tactical' one. Thank you all for your help.
