Help with new Caspian build
So I just got an update that my Ti frame is in, and the machining on the Damascus slide will be starting shortly, completion somewhere around 3-8 weeks. Just looking for some opinions on components for this build. I've got two other 1911's (both 10mm as this one will be) , a Delta Elite and a Fusion Scout both with Ed Brown and Wilson components. My 1911's are more collectables, I don't carry them and only shoot them maybe once a month. With the Ti frame and the damascus I want this one to be really tricked out. I'm not huge into all the custom components that are out there so I'm just looking for suggestions.

Schuemann Ultimatch AET barrel. The 10mm Ted Yost made for me years ago had one and even he sort of stunned by how good it was.
If I was starting over I'd probably spec a Harrison Design trigger. I'd rather not have serrations OR the little overtravel screw all the other triggers seem to have. I like the look of their sights too but I've never tried them myself. Oh, and an EGW oversized FP stop. Always a good idea, especially for a high pressure cartridge like 10mm. Other than that it's hard to go wrong with Caspian or the other usual suspects (Brown, Wilson, Cylinder & Slide, etc.) Last edited by CastleBravo; 03-28-2012 at 01:23 PM. |

Personally I like kart barrels, I have a kart, schuemenn, Wilson, Baer, colt and a nowlin. The kart is excellent, though they all are good. Least favorite is the Wilson, even the colts is a fine shooter.

Well here is my short list so far. Nothing is written in stone though.
Sights: Novak night Hammer: Caspian Damascus MSH: Caspian Damascus Magwell: Wilson , jeweled Trigger: Caspian Damascus Barrel: Nowlin ramped bull barrel beveled, jeweled hood, fluted barrel and hood. Guide Rod: Gemini custom fluted full length Grip Safety: Caspian Haven't decided on slide lock, safety, and mag release.. either Wilson ,Ed Brown, D&L Custom , Baer ... or open to suggestions. Small parts EGW or SVI, or open to suggestion. I actually have been talking with a blacksmith/knife maker on making a slide stop, mag release and thumb safety out of damascus, that depends on cost. |
