Description

If you’re after actual TM snappy recoil and high end, reliable performance but in a heavy metal gun… this is the only way I’ve ever found to combine the two.

This pistol was built my Mike Cripps of Elite Shooting Centre fame back when he did 1911s as well as 2011s, though he stopped with the single stacks some years ago now to focus on the competitive sport market so this is somewhat a rarity now in that respect.

The metal kit is the HurricanE Elite Kimber Covert II, aluminium not steel hence why it’s actually still a very skirmishable gun. The internals are all TM, which again contributes to the aforementioned functionality; I believe the base gun was the MEU model. The only change to the original metal kit is the outer barrel, which is taken from a HurricanE Desert Warrior kit. Fits perfectly.

It’s been fitted with a set of these RS grips (with beveled bottom and thumb notch optional extras) I imported from the US not long after buying the gun: https://vzgrips.com/products/1911-simonich-gunner-full-size-grips.html
It has to be said these are quite aggressive and bitey grips, made from G10, if you like to play pistol all day and never ever wear gloves you’d maybe want to replace these or sand them lightly. VZ also seem to have discontinued the tan colour I have here.

Original purchase price for the gun from Mike (with some nasty TM faux-wood plastic 1911A1 grips) was £400, then I added the RS VZ Grips. It has been through 2-3 skirmishes though and got a couple of dings to the paint, hence the current asking price. Please look very very carefully at the attached pictures if you are interested. Total usage is probably in the region of 150 bbs at a guess, could be less.

Unless you want to collect from Harrow or Wallingford this won’t come with a mag, unless someone can show me a legit screenshot of the rules from a courier that will take pressurised gas containers. If anyone does collect though I’ll include a TM 1911 or MEU mag and can add more for £10/ea extra. Otherwise, the price includes paypal and P&P.
