My PT1911B dressed up

a little bit courtesy of R/T here on XDTalk.
He gave me a good deal on his used alumagrips and Wilson Magwell......
I'm sure he misses them, but they fit great on the PT. Thanks RT!

Pinedawg,

Nice lookin upgrades. I just bought the same gun today. I'm gonna have to steal the Wilson Magwell idea.

Are you running the stock Mags, or what are you going with?

Excellent, I love how you stuck with the black on black. Sometimes scrolling down frightens me from what to expect. People throw some interesting grips on 1911s.

Are you running the stock Mags, or what are you going with?

Funny you mentioned that, no the stock ones won't work without swapping the base pads or having someone shave them. I am using two CMC shooting star mags I swapped out for on here, but I have four other Novaks and the two factory mags that I need to get the regular drop pads for.

As for the gun itself, I'll put it up against any other on the market, especially at the price. Even with what I have in other mags, holster, magwell, and the grips, I'm under $700. It has over 1500 rds thru it and it has never missed a beat. I was even able to use the stock grip bushings which everyone said would break, and the grips and magwell fit like a champ. My only complaint is that it came with a cheap case when I got it, and now they sell them with a real nice hard case. I tried calling and getting one, but the CS person said it just depends on what they ship them with, and wouldn't sell me just the case.

I'd like to get a stainless one next.
