The Main Features Of 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 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.

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 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.
