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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
