Hello CanadaAmmo,
I'm going to just come right out and ask the question on everyone's mind:
Are you ever getting more 1911s in?
I have a few suggestions/requests for what I'd like to see, and I'm sure others will chime in here - there would definitely be a market, not just for myself but many other Canadian shooters.
First off: Engraving. "Dominion Arms" is fine, a "Norinco" script is OK, "1911A1 .45" is great - but NO big Norinco Communist star.
Second, I know you have offered two-tone in the past (stainless frame, blued slide) - may I suggest a reverse two-tone variant? (Blued frame, stainless slide)
Third, is there any consideration for a longslide, or a Canada-legal Officer's Model a la SAM Commander Special? (https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/foru...mander-Special)
I have a few ideas floating around (a friend recently put me on to the joys of fitting custom parts to a 1911), which would require a half-dozen 1911s in various flavours:
- 2x blued, full-size, .45, regular (non-adjustable) sights, with the large, square, diagonal serrations on the slide (3 on the front, 7 on the rear)
- 2x stainless, full-size, .45, target (adjustable) sights, with the large, square, diagonal serrations on the slide (3 on the front, 7 on the rear), with or without threaded barrels
- 1x each:
Two-tone, full-size or longslide, 10mm or .45, regular (non-adjustable) sights, with the large, square, diagonal serrations on the slide (as appropriate for the size)
Reverse two-tone, Compact/Officer/hybrid, .45 or 9mm, regular (non-adjustable) sights, with the large, square, diagonal serrations on the slide (as appropriate for the size)
I can get any 1911 refinished and build what I want, but the frame dimensions and slide serrations are not so easily changed - hence my requests.
Please, let me know if there is anything waiting in the wings, or what you think of these suggestions.
Thank you!
