...for a 5" Colt 1911. Anyone know who makes one, checkered or serrated? I've seen stainless Arched, but no lanyard loop. I noticed a pic of one on S&A's website, but it's not listed as a selection.
Direct from Smith & Alexander: http://www.smithandalexander.com/spr-housing.html
At the top of the page "All Main Spring Housing available with Lanyard Loops.
Please add an additional $10 dollars to the price of the Main Spring Housing with Lanyard Loops. Lanyard Loops are not available on aluminum parts."
Actually, that's what impressed me the most. The lady who took my call was razor sharp, I said rather quickly, "I'd like to purchase a checkered stainless steel arched MSH w/lanyard loop." She didn't skip a beat, told me to hang on for a minute while she checked to see if it was in stock, she responded in less that a minute, took my contact info and let me know that she'll put it in today's shipment, which she was getting ready to send out.
I couldn't believe it hit my door in <48 hours, via regular USPS 1st class shipping. They're an impressive company. Although my MSH won't win any beauty competitions, it fit perfect with not the least bit of fitting required. I'll be buying more directly from them as the need arises.
Please don't take this as a condemnation of all things S&A, but their MSH checkering leaves a little to be desired. I'm thinking a few minutes (hours?) w/a file could make a considerable difference in the appearance, especially along the margins.
You're absolutely correct. I have a few of their MSH's, they all fit great (on a Colt frame), but the checkering is hit & miss. I have one with an integral magwell and it's excellent, several others are not.
The latest one here with the lanyard loop fits great, one side look very good...
Thanks! It's a nice range gun, but not a show piece, else I'd have to give that MSH allot more attention.
