Has anyone here build one themselves?
Well I've kicked this around for a bit, years ago i figured it wasn't worth it, probably still isn't. But with a email from Brownelles, a promo code, and an ok from the wife, i have a 1911 frame on its way to my FFL. We'll see how this first one goes but end goal would be 3, one for me(practice one)and each of the daughters. Im going to start with a standard 5" 45 government size for mine on a brownells stainless steel frame. Slide and barrel, I've come across a deal on ebay that seems to be new-old stock liquidated remington parts. The plan is not to rush and hold off on ordering the next pieces until the previous is fit, so i dont get in a hurry and say "good enough" just to get to the next step because the piece is sitting there waiting. Im really excited for it, sure when it is all said and done i will have been able to buy any Kimber or Springfield and been money ahead or take one I already have and switch out parts...but what fun is that!
I'll keep updates posted along he way.
