4 reasons
1 BUDGET
2 I still can't decide on what to do :( go cheap and use a Norinco as base gun OR get a Colt and leave it as is then make it into a heirloom piece
3 Budget
4 Budget
:rofl::rofl::rofl:

edtf,

if panglaro..norinco or armscor, ok na.just replace the internal parts

pang-altar - colt siyempre..hahahaha

bro elcapitan...from what i've heard...long dust cover is not allowed in the proposed IPSC single stack division..

Dati yan rin problem ko... after consulting with mtho,nawala na yun budget problem ko, sumabay na pati bank account ko! :rofl: pero at least i'll cry only once :supergrin:

Heard from a reliable source yesterday na S/S division will be any 1911 or single stack configuration gun that could fit in the box and must load 8 rounds only. hope its true para pasok yun long dust bull ko :supergrin:

Zen,
meron akong lagaring bakal dito. padala ko na ba dyan?

sounds to me that you want 2 guns, go to federal they have both :tongueout:

Naku looks like a Colt - dahil pang range use lang pero not that often too - patay matagal tagal na ipunan ito :)

OK rin ba yung 1991 commander sized pistols or is that the only commander sized Colt available here?

hahahaha yan yung nakakatakot sa grupo na ito kaya ayoko masyado sumama - madaming BI :D

mas sosyal naman ako pala meron ako dremel with cutting wheel instead of lagaring bakal :supergrin:

I was thinking of that too..... but quickly dismissed the idea baka magamit sa akin ni Boss or magkakaroon kami ng miscommunication din katulad ni Bro Pot :supergrin:

I haven't seen Colt Commander lately in stores. but if you seen one of that a 1991 Commander, yes it is the same size, all Colt's Commander has the same barrel length at 4.25". the difference of the latest version (Series 80) from my commander and drhiredguns' (both Series 70, rare to find) is the firing pin safety block of the series 80 which the 70 doesn't have.

Hmmm... I was checking out the colt site and there aren't any commander sized models except for the 1991. How come there were commander Gold Cups before?

Only 500 units of Goldcup Commanders National Match were produced for each finish (blue and stainless). These would make such models rather rare and hard to find.

i'm also awaiting my 40 trojan, ill post pics as soon as it arrives...exciting ang SS division hehe, ang daming change mag hehe.

where did you order your Trojan and how much?

Been there and done that bro.. Trojan 40 cal... be ready to Tune the crap out of it. Feeding problem yung sa akin... i had to get TRIPP Research mags for that matter. and loading length is crucial :)

When i had the single stack na, damn!!! hahahahahah... sakit ng ulo ko sa game plan, but it INCREASED my accuracy and mag change, so now, im back with a vengence, 2011 na kasi.. so nag.balik sa 2011 :P hehehe

Got myself a Norinco 1911 single stack, the enhanced version. Bukas ko makukuha.

weapons system corp sir, 80k. there was another unit at magnus, but it was hardchromed, 110k... ouch! if that price does'nt bother you might as well go with the USPSA also at magnus at 130k. cheers.

post a pic or two when you get your unit :)

you got a good price at 80K.
for 110K or 130K, i could build a nice hi-cap .40sw na :)

sir, what length worked at what mags? feedback im getting is load long when using 10mm mags and short when using 40mags, thanks.

you might want to try the wilsoncombat mags na 45, according to the litreture its for 40 also

just got the unit yesterday, heading to the range today, i hope i end the day with a smile on my face.

im smiling now hehehehe. maybe sti improved there products once they became an employee owned company. she was flawless all afternoon, ammo was factory oal, not long loaded, crimped around 2mm w/ lee fcd. mags used were the original and 3 mecgars i bought at twin pines also during the gunshow. all 8 rounders. i just had to get used charging her, medyo maganit kasi bago pa, grabe ang fit ng slide and frame. i also tinkered with the elevation setting of the rear sight, but i have a feeling its just my hand hehe.

Andrew, bakit wala kang pics?

:needspics:

hahaha tinatamad pa paul..... sometime this week hahahaha.

andrew, yung nabili mo na mecgar mags pang .40 talaga or .45 cal?

onga, pichur, pichur!

I saw a picture of my next project gun...ang mahal nga lang!!! Argh...

What to do? Sell some of my other toys to buy one single stack 1911?

my way of commemorating the 100th of JMB's classic design,

locked and loaded hehehe.

doc,

pang 40 sya talaga, meron wilson na 10mm sa ke laiza pero ang feedback ko is you have to load long and rim the barrel for 10mm to be reliable....i see headaches!
