A Basic Introduction To Colt 1911 Customization

By Phyllis Schroeder


Personality and style definitions exist in guns too. If a gun does not fit the style or personality the owner aspires it to, they can have it changed. The requirement shall be that the owner has a clear image of such a version. Experts whose speciality is colt 1911 customization are numerous. These professionals may remodel the weapon as along as changes maintain safety and feasibility.

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.

Firearms need to have sights allowing good repeatable sight pictures. Trigger pulls must not be too heavy. This is because it would make sights jump away from aiming points when a shooter squeezed a round off. Ergonomics should not add to shooter fatigue or cause pain when the shooter is firing.

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.

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.

Accuracy, at its most basic form, refers to the performance of the same thing every time. Making a gun accurate means it does this leaving any anomalies in the hands of the shooter. Having achieved this, the challenge proceeds to ensuring a shooter perfects their shooting to an art.

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.
