My TM 1911A1
Just received it today from Marksman. I have plan for this thing, though how far I can get with it will depend on a lot of stuff......

After installing the SD stainless barrel, the slide sticks with it, so I need to do some fitting still....also installed is Pachmayr Signature Grip with finger groove. These are drop-in. And they are rubber with lead weight, so it does not feel much lighter if at all compared to the weighed Stock grip...and they provide a similar feel to my Hi-Capa in terms of width....Next step is to put in the 3 hole Nine-Ball trigger I have sitting around...and I have to decide on whether to go ahead and strip the controls of their paint and polish them...

Found the NineBall trigger that I bought used for Hi-Capa before I got the KM one so I threw that on the 1911 too....

Hmm, I have a Tanio Koba metal outer barrel, my slide sticks as well, like 2mm from full return. Its annoying as hell as you have to literally PUNCH it to make it move.

One thing I just did to help that was I removed the insert inside the barrel bushung....its like a C-clip to prevent the metal bushing from scratching the plastic barrel...the gun can cycle now....
Other stuff I'd do is maybe take a file to the barrel lugs portion for the slide and maybe chamfer those out a bit....I had to do that for the Hi-Capa when fitting the barrel to the slide... |

some additional observation and notes after been able to fiddle with the gun and shoot off a mag. take down of the 1911 is similar to the Hi-Capa, some parts are more fiddly, others are better designed. The grip safety for whatever reason works better than that on my Hi-Capa. It was never that functional on it, maybe because I bought it used, I don't know. But this actually works. plastic slide cycles pretty fast with propane, and no problem with my SD barrel now, and all I really did was taking out that clip in the bushing. GI sights aren't as bad as I thought provided there are enough lighting. Gas capacity is a joke compare to Hi-Capa, but its not hard to see why compare the size of the mags. The finish of the gun is very nice for plastic, and a big improvement over TM G26, the last plastic TM I had. Though the KSC G19's HW frame still feels the best. And I still like to eventually get a metal kit for this somehow....

Glad to hear you like it. I've always thought the 1911 was functionally a better than the hi-capa too. My Delta has zero play in the slide to frame fit, it just feels like a more solid gun. What kit are you gonna get? Nova?

If I can source it in Canada, a Nova Springfield kit...debating still as to what I want it to look....
