The Main Features Of Colt 1911 Customization

By Phyllis Schroeder


Guns too have personalities and style. Should a particular gun not fit into what the owner feels is the right personality or style, then they can have them customized. All that the owner requires is to have a clear picture of what they need. Professionals abound who specialize in colt 1911 customization. Such professionals can work on the gun so long as the changes are feasible and safe.

General changes to weaponry centre on obtaining better targeting, carrying, plinking, personal defence, war, adoration, collection or simply presentation. Customizing three basic tenets. Reliability, accuracy and beautification. The top-notch gunsmiths aim for balancing perfectly these three. Where your gun use features function is much more important than form, otherwise its form turns out to be useless.

The United States Army and Air Force were the first institutions to commission modification of the colt 1911. The objective was better performance for their teams in competitions. All other workings stem from these initial attempts at making it extra accurate and reliable. This rests on two prongs. First is making the firearm accurate and second making it shooter friendly. An accurate firearm that is hard for the shooter to operate will not meet its potential while in that shooter hands. Customizing needs to address such a problem.

This activity has two prongs. One is making the weapon accurate and two is making user friendly. Should the weapon be accurate but is hard to operate, it will not perform optimally. Figuring out this challenge constitutes the speciality of customization. A firearm is required to possess sights allowing repeatable and good sight pictures. Pulling the trigger needs to be light work. Should the trigger pull be heavy, move sights will jump away from targets on trigger squeezing. The weapons ergonomics must not cause pain and neither should it increase fatigue with each consequential shooting.

Accessories that appear on magazines and other media may be appended as part of the customization. These fall into two categories. They are either integral or made as part of the firearm. Examples are steel framing for gun checkering or stippling and added on rubber grips. Examples of challenges for this include accentuated grips that impede small-fisted 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.

In its most simple form, accuracy denotes performing the same action every time. Making a firearm accurate is ensuring it does this limiting any anomalies to human error. With this achievement, the problem proceeds to rest with making sure the shooter perfects shooting into an art.

There have been drastic changes within this field of the industry based on evolution but not revolution. There are better electronics, optics, finishes, new CNC machines and alloys, which have all brought changes into operations. One of the most popular area in restyling is finishing. Digitised colours and finishes like the Desert Sand Camouflage gives blending into an environment characteristic to a weapon. The United States Military do, however maintain a lead in weapon customization. Survival in combat situations demands that they do so.
