    I have but it doesn't have all the features I'd like that the Thinderbolt does have. I was just wondering if it was a possibility in the future but if not that's fine.

    9mm 1911 mags are 9 rounds, and that's what my SAM of a few years ago came with, as well as a more recent STI

    You can have a rail in classic
    Go read that shlock to a soldier or a fireman or a football player or a bloody barber Theyll all knock your "this" right down your throat while sippin a beer and eating chicken wings.Then wipe their wee fingers on your pretty little pouch"

    Huh, is that new? I thought I read in the IPSC rule book that you couldn't but I see it indeed does allow it. Thanks for the tip.

    edit: I see it is indeed new for 2015.

    Thanks John for the Thunderbolt

    Just got my 9mm Stainless Thunderbolt. Very pleased with the fit and finish of this gun.
    Thought you might like to see it once it's cleaned up.
    Now, just need to wait for the registration...

    Yes, railed 1911's are now approved in Classic division as long as the dust cover lenght from the leading edge to the rear of the slide stop pin is 75mm or less. The measured length of the Tunderbolt's dust cover is 87mm, so unless you trim 12-13mm off the dust cover it's not allowed in Classic div.

    That is really good looking was that just cleaning or heavy polishing?

    I'm not a big fan of railed guns but could live with it. Do these fit most standard 1911 holsters or do you need to buy one specifically for a railed 1911?
