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 customers choose to make changes on their firearms for better targeting, personal defence, carrying, hunting, plinking, war, presentation, adoration or simply collection. Gun customization centres on three fundamental premises. These include beautification, accuracy and reliability. The foremost gunsmiths aim at finding the perfect balance from these. Where guns and their uses feature function reigns supreme over form or form becomes useless.

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.

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.

Obtaining perfunctory accuracy constitutes an easy concept for gunsmiths. As they aim at making your weapon function properly, they need to make it shoot from exactly the same spot whenever you squeeze your trigger. Should the barrel remain undamaged, hitting a target accurately is the easiest task. As time has gone by, precise quality sights have emerged. So have much better triggers with barrel lock up systems. These innovations see incorporation into carry guns that are customizations of the full sized 1911 version.

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 industry in this field has changed drastically centring on evolution and not revolution. Better optics, electronics, finishes, new alloys and CNC machines in their entirety have brought changes to operations. A popular restyling form revolves on finishing. Digitized finishes and colours such as Digital Desert Sand Camouflage enables environment blending for such weapons. However, the US military maintain their lead in as far as customization goes. Combat situations will not let them take chances.
