A Basic Guide To Colt 1911 Customization

By Phyllis Schroeder


Your gun has a personality or style. If your gun does not have the right one, you can have it customized. All you need is having a clear recollection of what you need it to feel like. Numerous professionals exist specializing in colt 1911 customization. These professionals will work on your gun if the changes will be safe and feasible.

Most clients opt to adapt changes to their guns based on targeting, carrying, personal defence, plinking, war, hunting, collection, presentation or simply adoration. Customization of firearms revolves around three basic premises. These are beautification, reliability and accuracy. The best gunsmiths aspire to find a perfect balance between these three. Where firearms and their basic intentions are concerned, form needs to follow function otherwise form is pointless.

The Army and Air Force wings of the US military commissioned the initial modifications upon the colt 1911. They intended to get better performance at war competitions for their own teams. All the other developments in this regard arise from this first customization with the intention of obtaining more accuracy and weapon reliability.

The activity is two pronged. First is making a firearm accurate while making it friendly in the hands of a shooter comes second. If an accurate gun is hard for its shooter to make a shot with then it will not give peak performance for such a shooter. Addressing this kind of problem is what customization is about. Guns are required to have sights that allow good and repeatable picture sights. The trigger pull has to be light. The reason is that heavy trigger pull moves sight jumps from targets on squeezing of the trigger. The firearms ergonomics must not be painful or increase shooter fatigue with consequential shooting.

Addition of accessories appearing on various media and magazines is usually feasible within the process of customization. Two categories feature here. It is either integrated to the firearm or an extension. Examples include rubber grips added on and gun stippling or checkering. A challenge to this is that an accentuated grip may impede shooting for small-handed shooters.

Getting mechanical accuracy is a much easier concept for the gunsmiths. With the sole objective of making a gun function properly, a gunsmith has to make the firearm make a shot from the same place mechanically each time the shooter squeezes the trigger. If the barrel is undamaged, attaining accuracy becomes the least complicated area here. In time, high quality sights have evolved; better triggers have come up as well as superior lock up barrel systems. Most of these have trickled down to the current carry guns, which are versions of the customized full size 1911.

Being accurate literally means doing the same thing each time. Making your weapon accurate therefore means it will do this, which leaves any anomaly in your hands as the weapon operator. With this achievement, the process moves from the weapon to you in perfecting the art of hitting your intended target.

The customization industry has drastically changed based not on revolution but on evolution. New alloys, new CNC machines, better optics, finishes and electronics have all brought changes to the manner things are done. A popular form of restyling centres around finishing. Digitized colours and finishes such as desert sand digital camouflage allows the firearm to blend into the terrain. However, the military still lead where customization is concerned. This is because combat does not allow taking any chances.
