Before you haters start in - this was a used but unfired pistol I picked up for under 900 dollars, and I did all the work myself.

Looking Good Bro,

What was the total cost of the parts?

I might have to send my warrior back to Indiana to get that package done.

3

Oh…you’re looking at about $250-300 or so, IIRC.

4

Nice… Very Nice…

I hate you.

5

Very nice, but put some decent grips on it :wink: That needs some black gunnars…

6

Now THAT’S a large group of folks, indeed.

:smiley:

7

I confess…I prefer the Hogues to Gunners and everything else. I shoot better and faster with them. -5 cool points, I know, but I’ll make them up on the range:D

8

Just razzin you, they are comfortable. Make it -4, they kinda go with the overall package :stuck_out_tongue:

Exactly which parts replaced the MIM? All of the ones you listed? A MIM barrel bushing? I’m not calling you out, I just don’t know. I want to get rid of my SW1911 and pick up a Kimber and I’d like to replace the MIM myself as well…

10

All the parts I listed with the possible exception of the firing pin and barrel bushing were MIM.

11

Thanks. I was really wondering about the bushing- seeing how it had to be machined to a great extent to begin with- not much point in Mold Injection and then doing all of that machining…

12

That turned out very nice Generic. Does the Warrior have the Series II firing pin safety?

I’m pretty sure that Kimbers use a MIM barrel bushing. I know the earlier ones did.

13

No, they are series I.

14

Hey SuicideHz - Who’s your daddy??!!

15

That question seems to come up a lot. :smiley:

16

Hey now! Dave- It’s “Hoosier Daddy” not “Who’s your daddy…”

17

I wouldn’t claim it with that football record :stuck_out_tongue: …he he he…Fight On! A-roo, A-roo!

Sorry for the interruption. We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

18

What record? The Colts? 8-0, right? I’m just outside of Chicago so I root for the Bears even though they are 7-1… :frowning:

19

No, I meant the Indiana University Hoosiers. They’re not exactly a “football powerhouse.” Never mind, it was a bad joke.

I got tired of the slop in the barrel fit, and fitted up a new Bar-Sto barrel over the Christmas break.

I encountered some problems with the SS Wilson Bulletproof slide stop, so I fit a carbon Bulletproof stop, and the problems went away. I also added a set of Gunner Grips.

340 rounds fired today on steels. Life is good.

My LMT/Colt shorty and a friend’s 16" with the Warrior down on the range.

That makes about 490 rounds without a hitch since all the refitting. About another K or so and this may be my new EDC.
