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.

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 United States Air Force and Army were the original institutions who commissioned modifications on the 1911 colt. Their objective was attaining better performance in competitions for their respective teams. Every other development stems from this first attempt at attaining extra reliability and accuracy.

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.

As part of your weapons customization, you may have accessories you see on the media or your magazines added. You have two choices. You can either have them integrated onto your weapon or have them as extensions. Some examples include adding rubber grips and firearm checkering or gun stippling. A challenge could arise with accentuating your grip because it may impede your shooting if you have small hands.

Attaining mechanical accuracy falls into a much simpler concept. With the objective of allowing a firearm to function properly, the gunsmith needs to make the firearm shoot from the same spot mechanically whenever a shooter squeezes a trigger. Should the barrel remain undamaged this forms the least complicated area of attaining accuracy. Over time superior sights have evolved, better triggers made and so have superior barrel systems of lock up. Much of these have drizzled right down to today carry guns as versions of a customized 1911 full size.

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.

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.
