Ok M1911 fans, what Model M1911 clone do you carry? Make and model? When I carry a M1911 it is normally a SIG C3 in .45ACP.

I have an old Charles Daly, a Rock Island, a Para Commander Elite and a Nighthawk Custom that I built myself.

Did you do a build on a Nighthawk frame?

CW5 Jack Cardwell - Yes. All Nighthawk parts. I looked at EBW and a few others but I kept it all from one place. Shoots like a dream. I guess for $1,500 it should. I still need to cut the front serrations.

TSgt David L. my most accurate M1911 is one I built years ago on a Springfield Armory frame. Kart barrel. Set up as a bullseye gun. Years ago ! Back then from Ransom rest it would group 2 1/2 - 3 inches at 50 yards with Federal match ball. I was building Match M14s and M1911s for the NC National Guard at the time.

CW5 Jack Cardwell - Sounds like a nice gun. I'm considering a Kart barrel for my Para 1911 rebuild. Trying to tighten it up a bit.

Remarkable to see some of those illustrated (including my Colt Gold Cup) have the flat mainspring housing of the 1911. The 1911-A1 was supposed to have been improved by the arched, knurled addition to fill the hand better.

Many like the flat mainspring housings. Yes, GI M1911s had flat housings but many in the Army inventory had the arched housings installed in later years.
