1911 Custom Work

[horkz]

I have a series 80 1911 Gold Cup that Id like some custom work done on it. Trigger, hammer, etc... IPSC stock/classic and as a target pistol. To whom would people suggest?

Try Dark International/RK Custom Guns.

My Norkie 1911 Sport was customed by them, Rodger Kotanko.

It’s one of my 3 never-sell pistols.

I had my Kimber tuned up by Matt at Forge and Facet in High River Alberta. Spectacular work. I took that gun to 11th place overall in Alberta classic division.

Got mine back from Rodger today.
Overall,I'm happy with it.
Had a new trigger installed,it breaks at 3 1/2 lbs.
New beavertail and larger hammer.
Dawson adjustable sights.

Theres a couple of scratches around the front sight,but I'm not to concerned with that.

The only other thing I'm not sure of,is the front spring plug.
This one has a hole in it and is jagged and sharp.
My other spring plug was solid with a rough finish.

Does this mean that Roger scratched you gun installing front sight ?

 

[45C]

Yes, it wasn't like that when it left here.
I wonder what's up with the spring plug.
Feels like the top of it was cut off some how.

I bought the gun for my son to use,he wanted a nickle gun with pearl grips. Hes 14,what can I say..lol
It's only an RIA,so I'm not bothered by the scratches,but am curious about the top of the plug,being cut off?

Your spring plug could be one used for a FLGR. Full length guide rod.

Yes now I remember, I asked for a FLGR.
Thought is was messed up ,as it's all jagged around the edge..

Double Tap Sports is worth a mention. They are an excellent shop in their own right for anything 1911/2011. Josko builds some fantastic pistols and does really nice work.
