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 you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts Bin" forums, not in 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. |

My 1911 commercial
Okay, I've got to be honest, I got a really nice 1911 Commercial Model a month or so ago. It had the HP barrel but it was nasty, it looked like a lava flow, I sold it to a guy of ebay, he was as happy as a man with two pec&ers, he said it was better than he expected. I put a wilson barrel in the 1911, I worked the hood and took out all of the wilson roll marks, the thing is that it works really well, it's not beating the slide and it fits perfectly, I wasn't expecting for it to work out this good, I do have another HP barrel in better condition on the way. My question is? Can you all forgive me for putting a high tech barrel in a classic 1911 or should I head out to the desert for 40 days and 40 nights?

I have a Schuemann in my Commercial
Slabsides:
My Commercial has a Schuemann barrel, FLGR, Wilson beavertail (old style), Brown extended thumb safety, combat trigger, bobbed hammer, checkered front strap, Novak combat sights, and is finished in hard-chrome. I feel great; the pistol is beautiful. |

I'm not taking it that far but, I wanted to keep it origional, but the barrel was really a mess, I'm surprised that the guy I sold that barrel to was so happy with it, I was honest about the sale and I didn't make a bundle on it but it just looked like the bullet would skid down the barrel and not grab the lands and grooves, I know there is a certain amount of origional that makes a gun but I'm sort of torn between origional and one that works, I went for one that works, I guess I'll never be much of a collector of old 1911's cuz if they are broke they really don't trip my trigger, (get it? trip my trigger?) |

That's nice
Slabsides:
That's a nice Commercial. I would like to get another one to customize. Unless it is a true collector's item, I don't see any point in not shooting, repairing, upgrading, and/or carrying the pistol. My Commercial was manufactured in 1969, I believe, and I carry it almost daily. I like it as much or more than my Wilson CQB, so why would I shoot or carry it less? When something wears or breaks, I'll repair or replace it. |
