Re: tribute to gun gurus
Is that an IOF Ashani transformed into a 1911!!
If so, I can just say - WOW! Who has worked on it? How does she shoot, etc.?
Cheers!

Re: tribute to gun gurus
Very nice indeed. The slide has been cut from the back and a new exposed spurred hammer (in place of the concealed,non-spurred one) has been added.Magazine release has been added behind the trigger. The slide possibly remains open now after the last shot is fired. Finish is very good.
Some questions ( I hope they are not too many) -
1. How has the muzzle end of the slide been modified ?
2. How has the barrel bushing been modified ?
3. Does it have a half cock feature ?
The overall effect is fantastic, I mean a la 1911 of that size - WOW !
Can you please share the modification details, the address of the gunsmith and the cost ?
best,
Rp.
P.S. Is it possible to post more pictures please ? Especially the back strap, cut slide, exposed hammer and the old magazine release catch part ?

It's always better to have a gun and not need it than need a gun and not have it !

Re: tribute to gun gurus
Looks good.However I have some reservations about what has been done.
1.The chop job at the rear means that the slide rails have been shortened. -accuracy (it is not very accurate as it is)
2.The mass of steel welded to the slide should slow down the slide and should impact the timing. -reliability

Re: tribute to gun gurus
Looks nice, I'm sure Browning is smiling in heaven seeing this modification proving the popularity of 1911 design. As WTP has pointed out, accuracy may suffer a little bit the beauty beats it IMHO.
BTW AFAIK x-rated stuff is not allowed in the forum

Re: tribute to gun gurus
Hi Friends,
Thank you all very much for your encouraging comments,i have got it done under my own supervision ,unlike the last time when i had purchased the modified one.this time around i brought an ashani and as i have owned several foriegn made pistols earlier ,i setteled on llama which i have with my friend(it was mine ,sold it to him)i have given a try keeping in mind a few comments i recieved last time and probably they inspired me to give it a more refined finish,like one of our friend said it looks like llamashni,this time i made sure it wudnt resemble ashani at all and u could be a better judge that i have succseded or not.and somehow i knew the concern our friend winnie would have regarding the accuracy ,like i said the last time also it shoots beautifully and i havent noticed any problem with accuracy .with time i will post more pictures cause these pic are not of the chrome finished i had gotten last week.i hope my learned friends would appreciate my effort after they see the chromed finished look
regards

Re: tribute to gun gurus
Winnie,
can you explain your comments? Since the barrel is fixed, how could shortened slide rails affect accuracy? And "timing"? It's still a blowback, despite its looks.
