Where in Canada can I get 1911 parts?

[frankcastle]

I'm looking for skeletonized hammers and triggers and extended slide releases for my Norc 1911's. What stores in Canada carry them? I see them online in the states but they won't ship here. Can anyone tell me of Canadian specialty shops that carry them other than Armco?

Brownells will ship to canada as long as you keep firearm parts <$100.

Dlask Arms makes their own.

Personally I would stay away from the Extended Slide release, but you should be able to get what you need from Sean at Freedom Ventures http://www.freedomventures.ca/gunparts.htm,

I would think that just about all of the banner advertisers at the top of the forum would have or be able to source 1911 parts.

Thanks for the rapid response. Why stay away from extended slide release? I have medium sized hands and don't want to shift grip to release the slide. Skeet I checked the banners and they didn't have what I was looking for other than Armco but they lack pictures of the specific items I want. Skeet will you be at the range on the 26th 27th of April?

P&D Enterprises up top has parts as well.

Personal preference really, I never use the slide lock to release the slide and I think that the Extended ones are a waste of money and can cause function issues depending on your hold.

If you are looking for pictures of specific parts, go to ww w.brownells.com
and just switch between Armcos, or Freedom Ventures pages to see what the items look like

Thanks JohnnyMac, that Brownells tip was gold. Found everything I was looking for. Just hope the customs officers don't have sticky fingers.

Marstar offers a variety of 1911 parts for a good price.

Online inventory can be poor, I find it best to call them for the smaller parts.

Possibly. If the wife lets me come out and play.

epps will order anything you want out of the brownells catalog, they have an import licence, and with thier discount the prices are about the same, but they only do one order a month, so not a good choice if your in a rush.

1911 Parts & Extended Slide Releases....

Ix-nay on the extended slide release-say........ that said, personally I've found the EE here to be an excellent source for 1911 parts [well, except the putz that tried to sell me the broken Colt slide stop as an "as new" part... ]..... Back to the extended slide stop thing... the one that came on my Norc NP-29 9mm is in the parts box with the other 'stuff' I swapped off my 1911's for better stuff obtained off the EE here.....

Any left handed shooters tried an extended slide stop? Wilson Combat sell them. Not sure if they ship outside the USA though.

What's wrong with Chi-com parts?

I think you should stick with the original factory Chi-com parts. What's wrong with them anyway?
I see lots of guys on this site replacing the factory parts with aftermarket parts not Chi-com. Why?
They end up with a parts gun.
The bottom line is, if you have to replace parts on a Chi-com, reverse-engineered gun, what do you have left?
Doesn't that leave the slide, frame and barrel as parts, suspect too?
