The Official 1911 Picture Thread

It depends on what series you are talking about. The SCW2 guns are way sold out. But WA has just released the gun in their "Carbon Black" finish in SCW3. I personally dislike SCW3 and won't buy them, but if you are willing to run 134A they are still high quality guns. I would look for a SCW3 LAPD Swat Custom II in Carbon Black or you are going to need to find a used example.

I wouldn't run propane through a SCW3 gun. The sear system is much cheaper and the firing pin design is more prone to "catching" and causing light strikes.

My WE Tech M1911 that will be getting many more parts over the next few months, depending on how fast I can get a new job and some extra cash, to look like the "Silverballers" from the Hitman games. I know it needs a little more work to be nice and shiney, but give me time... I've only had this thing for two weeks.

"Light striking" is when the hammer mechanism doesn't hit the valve on the mag hard enough to open it.

In other words the strike is to light.

Exactly, the WA either doesn't blowback or the slide action is very weak and doesn't load a new shot. It is a drag and makes you want to throw your $600+ gun at a wall, well that is what it make me want to do.

I thought that you're expert was more in the $800+ range when you sold it.

Still, it adds up to the same thing.

Have you heard anymore about the new magna guns, like the one "reviewed" on the PDI website?

Captain Plastic thinks they won't even make it out of Japan. I want one badly, but am way short on cash for one. They should be released in late December.

Oh yeah, these showed up today:

Wow. Those are beautiful customs hkssr20det.

(My stock response to all of hkssr20dets posts)

It will be fun to see what you can do with them when you get to the stage where you start to tweak them and dress them up.

well, I never had any trouble with my SCW2 1911 on propane. Dang I wish I had never sold my SCW2 Kimbers... Crying or Very sad

Anyway, hkssr20det, are those the WE 1911's you were talking about?

I need to start sleeping at night... I just took over 100 pictures of my 1911 out of sheer boredom, and of course improving my rusty photography skills that haven't been used enough in the last three years since I stopped going to car shows.

Anyways, here's some new pictures of the same old WE, but if all goes well next time I post there will be more goddies on her. Oh, and don't worrie, I'm not posting all 100.

I figured since everyone else has such nice pictures, I better step it up a bit... For having not slept yet and taking pictures from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. I think I did pretty good.
