Well Ive been so busy with work and life in general I havent had time to get out to the range so I decided to go ahead and install all my goodies even though I havent even fired it yet. A few beers later, 30 minutes worth of youtube videos and bam, its all installed. Wasnt too bad at all really, if I had to do it again it would probably only take me about 30 minutes. Some people have said they had problems separating the grip from the barrel but all I had to do was give the back a swift little hit on a stack of paper on my desk so it didnt get scratched and it popped right off. Anyway, on to the pics

All broken down

And all back together


Everyone says the hogue 1911 grips work fine but I really dont like them but Im extremely **** though. I had to shave off a good bit around the bolt release which was enough to get into the plastic backing so it looks like crap and there is also a notch at the bottom that doesnt follow grip right. I will be ordering the 82080 grips which are actually for the 22/45. Other than that I love the grips, SO much better than the standard grips. I dont really have huge hands but definitely not small so they fill the palm of my hand up plus I really like the finger grooves.

After setting the overtravel and takeup screws the trigger resets very fast and is 100 times better than the factor trigger. Im very happy with these mods, and the BAM bushing is awesome. The mags literally fly out of the gun now and I can actually seat a mag full of bullets without worrying about it falling back out of the bottom.

Now if I could just decide between an SWR Spectre II and the Silencerco Sparrow Id be all set.

Went ahead and ordered me a compensator for it, should get no muzzle rise with this thing. I see mag dumps being quick and accurate with all these mods

how long did it take you to get your suppressor stamp. It looks like in Bexar county we have to go through some hoops as the Sheriff will not sign off on any.

I went the gun trust route so I don't have to deal with fingerprints, passport photo and a CLEO signature. I haven't bought a supressor yet as I haven't made up my mind on which one I want. From what I've read if you submit your paperwork with a trust you get it back a hair quicker which right now seems to be 6-7 months.

Got my compensator in today, I really like the quality and the way it turned out. Aside from a burris fastfire III this one is done.



I may keep it like this for a range toy and buy one of these
Ruger® 22/45™ Threaded Barrel Rimfire Pistol Models
To put the suppressor on and be able to mount the light on the chin picatinny for some night time fun. Need to decide if Id rather have the red dot or fiber optic front sight for night time shooting.
