I am looking into getting one of these so I have been doing some research. Since I was unable to find any useful central repository of info I will include the useful links I found here.
I had them swap out the rubber grips for the service grips so the gun could be carried.
First of all, he fit and finish is absurd. The blueing makes my old 70s python look like an RG. It is just so ridiculously deep. The straw on the trigger and hammer looks like something off a $6000 custom shop gun.
The trigger is technically perfect. It might be a bit heavy but it really doesn’t matter because 1. It is so roller bearing smooth and 2. It is fully adjustable.
The lock up is perfect. Everything is perfect to look at. It reminds me of an Old Model 19 if God had a custom shop.
I did find one downside. The rear sight has two dots and the front sight is a serrated blade. It’s fine, but it looks odd to me. There is a definite contrast but I guess this French site setup is weird to me. Almost the opposite of what I like. I may have to blank out the rear. Interestingly, the front sight is roll pinned on so I guess I could order a replacement and have it sent to tool tech and have them install a gold bead for even, blasphemous, tritium. More likely I will just blank out the rear dots. I am too used to the other way around.
I CANNOT wait to shoot this thing. If I can get in tomorrow afternoon I am going to sneak down and test fire this gorgeous beast.
It’s definitely got to be something you really want. I would rather have this than another fancy 1911, but let’s not pretend any of this makes sense! lol
I shot 50 rounds this weekend. The trigger is amazingly smooth. It reminds me more of my Langdon Tactical 92 DA than my Smith revolvers. I want to find some clear instructions on how to adjust the trigger before I get bold.
I fixed the rear only dots by filling them with a black crayon. That should do and be reversible down the road.
