Still in the ideation stage of a new build but wanted some feedback. Not sure if I should commit or not just yet as it might be a lot of work. The more I look into it it seems doable... Please convince me otherwise ------------------------------------------------------------ Been toying around...

Can I play devil's advocate here and maybe suggest changing the parts to aftermarket (ie. nylon fiber frames & alu slides)? I suggest that since cerakote is not permanent (esp. if you use kydex holsters) and you could just upgrade the shiny part itself for the same cost or just slightly...

Those are some nice looking guns. I also am thinking of getting a nice V10 build done sometime soon. Good news is Guarder seem to be revisiting some of the 1911 variants (govt / hicapa / v10) and creating new upgrade parts for them which is pretty nice. V10 slide & frame kit seem to be...

That's really nice. tbh I kinda like the current color scheme. It has the color scheme of a vintage muzzle loader with a browned barrel & blued frame - with a reddot.. lol Throw some wood grips on there and it will become even more confusing?

No worries man, thanks for confirming! That's great that the bureau model slides have bushing notches. Will keep note of that for future builds?

I had this issue too when I installed a magwell. On other forums I've found that guarder baseplates (both thin and extended) can solve this issue. I didn't want to spend any more money though so I just left it as stock and it somehow solved itself? I think the tolerance issue was really small...

I really like the color matching you did with the trigger. May I ask why is your dust cover so rusty though?

HA, that's a whole nother level of incompetence... noted and will avoid UPS Don't tease us. Show us how it looks like mounted!

Thanks for all the advice guys. Damn, that's a lot of options I can choose from! Will have to take some time this weekend to look into all the different models you guys suggested and make the call. Shame that FRV Tailoring is a no-go, as by first glance their belt seems exactly what I am...

Ugh. I hate when I'm all hyped up for a delivery only to see this. You should meet my local DPD, anything short of a full on sprint to the door and they say missed delivery.. everytime.

Hello! I'm looking for some advice on setting up a battle belt for a pistol only loadout. For those of you who run belts mainly, what brands would you recommend? Is there anything I should avoid? I'm thinking of going for something outside the waistband, with a velcro inner belt or just...

Ah I see haha that makes sense. Yeah mine was the first RS light I spent any real money on and it seems really nice. Kinda worried about the whole exploding olight thing though.. Maybe I'm just being paranoid

Damn! That's pretty light for a hi capa.. Don't tell me that's real carbon fiber on the tracer can??? Also nice to see a fellow chad Olight enjoyer The machine says that your hi capa is for £3.95, I can take it off your hands for an even £4 ?

Tried something new other than the usual 1911 stuff over the weekend and prepped my TM G18C frame before stippling. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The initial idea behind this build was strictly "form follows function", where everything on it would...

Just curious, about how long (time or roundcount, whichever comes first) does it take to wear out an aluminum hi capa slide to the point it's non-functional? I've seen on other platforms alu kitted guns with 10+ years of hard skirmish use and still kicking

I had to google this and boy I'm more confused than I was before I searched it xd

Ah I see. Didn't realize you could anodize in patterns like that! That loadout looks like something straight out of a videogame haha Please do share pics once it's finished!

Jesus! Those are some unique builds; I have so many questions  How did you get a patterned finish like that on the first gun? Is it hydro dipped? How/who/where is it possible to fit wood grips on hi capa grips?  I see. That's great there's someone akin to Mike from ESC, I initially contacted...

Limcat slides seem to be the end-all for quality hicapa slides. Never had the chance to try one before. Also, does the slide stop still function when you install those forward assist thingys (not sure what they're called)? Didn't even notice until you mentioned ?

That bottom one is really nice. Probably the aesthetic I'll be aiming for if I ever build one
