Nice looking GM. I have 3 from 1914 but none are in as good condition as that. If I could stop collecting the beaters maybe I could afford a nicer one!

Sell a couple beaters and get a nicer one..... But then you may worry about every mark and ding and not enjoy it as much.

As long as you shoot them collect away

 

[Magellann]

I wonder how the ne ones shoot compared to the originals.

 

[silverfoxdj]

Better

 

[Magellann]

Someone should do a test and compare them.

 

[silverfoxdj]

There are lots of tests available just Google them

 

[Magellann]

I'd rather hear them first hand here.

 

[silverfoxdj]

Okay but there is a ton of Brand specific reviews on the 1911 forums if you do your own research.

 

[Magellann]

It really doesn't interest me that much to bother looking.

 

[silverfoxdj]

Hmm, Okay you may change your mind when you want to purchase one though.

My beaters:

A 1914 Government named to a member of the 1st CMR





Another 1914 in somewhat questionable condition, also with an owner's name engraved. I bought it for the barrel and slide stop which are now obviously missing:





And my most recent, slightly abused but sort of restored by yours truly. Currently awaiting barrel install and original style trigger:

The bottom pic looks already restored.. nice

 

[deadman]

They are works in progress, but thanks.

This is probably one of my favorite shooters, an older Springfield NM serialed pistol. It came to me with a little bit of work done, and other than the trigger being a little sticky on the reset, it didn't need a thing. After dealing with that, I swapped on an old set of horns I had and called it a day.

 

[Magellann]

A couple of those do look rather well used. That Springfeild looks pretty clean.
