Mil-Spec 1911 “Retro Custom”

[Warrior9(Ret)]

This pistol stated as a stock Springfield Armory Mil-Spec 1911 45 ACP. Nighthawk Customs did the work using Harrison Design Retro Custom parts. It looks Smooth and Elegant

It’s supposed to read “started”.

Not far off from my Baer Custom Carry.

As a minimalist when it comes to 1911's I feel the same way about my Tisas commander sized Tanker. Everything I need and nothing I don't.

I put Harrison trigger, sear, disconnect, hammer, and u'notch rear sight on Para ordnance LTC. It was a pretty good gun but really needed those upgrades. I traded it for a Ronin LW in 9mm.

Everything I need and nothing I don't.

And that right there is the real trick to owning guns. Change what will make it better for you and nothing else. Far too many people buy a new gun and then start hanging this, that and the other on it without any real reason.

I bet it’s a Sweet Shooting tack driver

Very much.

It’s guaranteed 3” at 50 yards; my best is just over that using carry ammo (Golden Sabers).

Unfortunately, it rarely gets shot or carried anymore; likely getting sold/traded soon.

3” at 50 yards? According to what I was taught in the Army, 50 yards is the Maximum Effective Range for the M1911A1 using USGI 230gr FMJ.

That’s fine. It’s a Sweet Looking pistol

I’ve put full mags on a silhouette at 100 yards with this pistol…

As for it being effective? Well, I’ve yet to meet anyone who’d volunteer to be on the receiving end at that distance to prove it’s INeffectiveness, so…

Here’s the one I really want but has been discontinued. Dan Wesson A2

Im happy with my 250 dollar Commander

Might get a Nighthawk Custom trigger pack in the future. Damn thing's more expensive than the gun........

Kudos to those of you that can focus or even see a 3" target at 50 yards. I can keep about 7 or 8 out of 10 rounds inside of a 3.5" shoot-n-see target at 15 yards with no problem, inside the 9 ring of large silhouette at 25. The Ole peepers ain't quite what they used to be.
