  1. Talk to Highpower. He can clue you in on my high powers. Back in the day if we were carrying 9mm anywhere in the world it was a BHP. Carried by more countries military and police forces than any other auto... FBI, HRT, USSF, SAS The alphabet goes on and on. The main modification is taking out the Magazine safety to improve the trigger pull. I used an Inglis with shoulder stock for an entry gun at one time. Still carry it often as a travel gun. You cannot go wrong with a BHP.

     

    That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

  2. still waiting for parts that I ordered 3 weeks ago. Not a long wait but longer than most of my orders from other companies. I do not find their prices to be that good most of the time. I get email specials from them every day. This is the first order I have given them. It was for a part a client wanted for a custom build. I have already finished his gun except for that one part.

     

    I won't be ordering from them again.

  3. We just built a commander bobtail at the shop.and it fits my hand well enough I am considering doing the same thing to a couple of my full size guns as well.  I have all three sizes of Colt 1911s in .45/9mm. I only have one 38 super in Government size, 

     

    You should shoot the smaller frame 1911 to see if it works for you. I have gone back to a full size pistol for most of my carry. The New detective specials ride in an ankle holsters as a backup.

     

    If you want a short frame 1911 you should buy the smaller frame pistol. It will be much more costly to convert a full size.

  4. As a gunsmith I cannot recommend one. They are serviced by Taurus. In a year we have had five com in for repair and of those four  could not be fixed. They offered to replace them. They charged full retail for the replacements and kept the original guns. I would suggest you look for a good used older revolver. BTW thier warranty starts at manufacture date, not sales date. A couple of the guns were purchased within 3 months of them being brought to us but had manufacture dates more than a year before.

     

    Sorry about that.

  5. Go for a  type II receiver. I have two matched sets for future builds.  Most of the sales that are on now are for type I receivers. One is going to be in REM .260 for long range and suppressor use by a friend. He plans on using his 6.8 can. The other will probably be in .338 for heavier projectiles closer in. 

  6. I have an Inglis Highpower with correct shoulderstock. There are specific serial number ranges in the ATF book that delineate what is allowed with out being an sbr and what makes an sbr. I have the proper page xeroxed and in the stock that pertains to my pistol. As to original and repro stocks you will have to check the book. Direct copies of the original stocks are often allowed on curio and relic guns. All this info is dated several years ago when I got the gun so you will need to see the up to date regulations.

     

    When I can set the money aside from buying parts to build other peoples guns I plan to get a repro Artillery stock and trammel mag holder for my Luger.

     

    BTW the Stocked HP was my entry gun in another lifetime :cool:

  7. I have quite a few of the gun mags from the '50s and '60s. One thing you notice when you get the cover pictures all together is the Hollywood stars that  are on many of the covers. A far cry from today when most of them are anti gun hippocrits.

  8. I can highly recommend his builds. I have one of his  full production rifles. They are all metal with a billet lower to replace the plastic Bushmaster. I also have a M17s sitting in the safe to convert to .458 SOCOM when I can get a barrel made.

  9. Sam Hoster  in Gallatin he has been doing 1911 work since the '70s. Look on Oleg Volk's blog to see the pistol He did for his daughter.  Also we have been talked into participating in the next M'boro RK show you will be able to see a couple of his guns there on display.

     

    I'm still of two minds about doing another show. It's been over a year since the last one but we will have several custom AR builds there for sale along with some of my personal guns for sale.

  10. I was at the shop checking emails when the computer stopped working. So I built another rifle and finished customizing a pistol. The time was better spent and more relaxing.
