the thing with the 1911, it's the grip: it's like a sword.

Mine isn't something special compared to all these upgraded TMs T.T

At least it is all metal, even the outer barrel and feels nice :P

Where & how do I get my hands on a metal receiver for my kjw 1911. The gun has worked flawlessly since December when I got it, but you know plastic...

Your AV'd.

Look around the classifieds.

Still working on this one, sorry if I put up too many pictures. I need you guys' opinion on this. Since my controls are black and the rest of the gun is chrome, I think I need more black/grey to balance it out. It looks great when there's some shadow but otherwise its just a whole lot of chrome with a couple random black controls. (you can see the difference between the pictures with and without shadows) I'm thinking of filling in the trademarks, slide serrations, and the top of the slide like this real steel except without the black under the muzzle (i think it's too much):

I plan on using aluma hyde either black or grey. Has anyone done this before? Not sure if grey or black will work out nicer. Black looks nice in the real steel but a bit too bold, I don't know if grey will be a bit more mellow and blend the chrome and black together.

Open to suggestions/advice. thanks

Black is fine as it is. You don't want a all out chrome gun.. Nice Guarder kit.

I said I want to put more black in because most of the gun is chrome which I think is a bit too shiny.

Alot of beautiful 1911's, can't wait for my AV to go through. 2 thumbs up to all of you.

Well, it looks perfect with your current set up. If you need more black, I guess 2 tone slide..

My latest 1911 family and the grip got donate from a friend of mine.
