The DIY 1911 thread... I think I'll call her Becky

i have no way of measuring the pull weight, but yeah i'll agree that it's fucking light. the only other gun in my house that i know the pull weight of (approximately) is the tavor, and that's supposed to be about 12lbs... i'd say it takes about a third of the force to pull this trigger, give or take. so somewhere around 4lbs is my guess

What's new?

aside from me being a lazy sack of shit and not taking progress pics? not much :)




as of now it's like, 90% functional. i only say 90% because a fully functioning gun should have a safety, which i haven't gotten around to fitting yet. i haven't bought any dummy rounds yet, but i bet it'll fire bullets just fine if i tried :D



at least the grip safety "works" (right now it requires only a feather touch)

also, sorry about the whole lack of updates thing... shit's been crazy around the house lately. either that or i'm crazy busy. for the past couple of months i've been renovating a house to prep it for sale, i'm finally at the home stretch and will probably be done in the next week or two. after that i'll have ALOT more free time, i PROMISE i'll take some pics and document what i did (some of the processes were... interesting)
