SAM Military 1911A1!!!!!!!

[Bittereinder]

All Steel, but a few Colt's in the past had plastic trigger pads, and a plastic mainspring housings.

Don't worry, lots of manufacturers use plastic parts and I never had a problem with any parts that I had.

Thanks. I may want to swap out with steel some day but that's more aesthetics to be honest.

Edit again: I was probably mistaken.

i had the lads from Wolverine replace the front site on my polished stainless with some FO.
LOVE IT!

in fact i have a date with this gun at the range tomorrow to end my work week with some 'getting my gun off' fun!

cant get enough of this SAM.



and the new FO front

I have been eye balling one of these for a while. Is there a comparison chart or matrix somewhere that would help me pick out which model to get? My wish list is 5 inch barrel, and extended mag release and possibly mag well. Is there a model that has all,of these or do I need to customize it myself?

None of the pistols have the extended mag release. The thunderbolt has the magwell and the 5 inch barrel.

Start off with the base model and build up from there.
Honestly I have had mine for 2 years or so? First run I believe, still works great,
By that I mean double digit seiral number. And I love it, eats anything. Very accurate and reliable.
Would gladly buy another.

They are very good and reliable pistols. I'm looking at adding one into my safe this summer as well (cause the good Lord knows I don't have enough 1911's now). I just don't know which one I'm going with.

Are you sure the grip safety is plastic

Are you sure the grip safety is plastic

I think you're asking me. At first I thought so, but am now editing my earlier post which was probably quite wrong.

I think I was just confused by the feel of the finish on the grip safety. Taking another look, I think I was probably wrong about the other parts as well. In fact, there's a bit of wear where the hammer touches the top of the beavertail, and I can see a bit of shiny metal underneath.

Apologies to Mr. Wolverine and others for my misunderstanding.

Good morning David

Please confirm if SAM have used any plastic parts in any of the gums that they have supplied to us?

Thanks John

Hi John:

None of the models you are buying or have bought in the past utilize any plastic parts with the exception of the two SAS12 shogun samples you bought, but none of the 1911’s have plastic parts. Why do you ask?

Thanks very much. You can tell him it was a customer buying his first semi-auto handgun who let himself get confused! Turns out the only thing I was slightly unhappy about was wrong, so I've gone from being quite happy to thrilled about my SAM 1911!
