GSG 1911 - CW Accessories Shooter Special or ZRTS Ultimate Package - What's the Diff

[QuietOne54]

I have an opportunity to buy a CW Accessories Shooter Special # 2 private sale or I can get the ZRTS Ultimate Package from Blue Line Solutions.

What is the difference in these besides CW having the tap and screw for the frame. What is the difference in the components? Which is better or worse? I've heard great things on the CW Accessories kit and have seen first hand a Standard GSG go from 5" grouping go to 1.5" at 20 Meters in 5 minutes of installation. Reliability went up as well. I've yet to read a bad review on CW Accessories.

I have heard both good and bad about ZRTS so I'm just wondering what's the difference in the components? How are those that are using ZRTS truly making out?

Price on the two is about 15$ difference with CW Accessories being more. (130$ Cdn) vs 115$ ZRTS from blue line shipping include. But if something does go south Blue Line is known for standing behind the products they sell so ...... really what's the difference in the components. I'd really like to know

They're both good quality so you can't really go wrong. Tapping the frame to cover the front screw hole is more cosmetic than anything else.

Pretty much any guide rod is better than the crappy one from the factory. After that once you loose the superfluous front screw reliability and accuracy goes up.

A well fit muzzle cap and bushing tops it off.

My ZRTS kits work great, I have them on 3 of my GSG's. I only noticed a moderate increase in accuracy with them however. What was wonderfully apparent though was my GSG's now break down like a regular 1911 which was the main reason I bought them.

Interesting....I never went down this route, had to go through the 'break in' period.....lol.....polished the feed ramp, and worked the slide so it runs smooth like butter......but that's it....went shooting this morning, shot 2" at 10 yards, two handed standing....oh and I scored some fed bulk...always liked this ammo, just couldn't find any....150 rounds, not one issue....go figure.

and for me Federal anything gives 5 = 9 inch groups at 10 yards. Best I've had is CCI standard at 25 yards/21 metres rested and 2/5 . Nothing outstanding. My High Standard Sport King does 1" all day with every ammo I put in it. Go figure... but it is not a 1911

They're not target/bullseye guns. I use mine exclusively for 1911 .45acp practice on the cheap.
