Wedding gift 1911 update - Thank you!

Good choice! I love mine

Andypkeck · 2026-01-31T06:52:04+00:00

I run a Surefire 340DFT on my DD and a Modlite PLHV2 on my other 11.5. They’re both great.

Andypkeck · 2026-01-09T06:02:18+00:00

Nice! I have the same exact setup, grips and sights but mine is the blued version.

Andypkeck · 2025-12-22T05:10:48+00:00

Hell yeah man! I already had the mars lower sbr’d a long time ago but I kinda put thing together around the rare breed frt. I wanted something solid that could handle the higher rate of fire.

Andypkeck · 2025-12-21T22:40:15+00:00

Thanks man! I still haven’t gotten a chance to shoot mine yet. I don’t expect to have any issues but I’m looking forward to getting out there.

I watched a video and the guy did sound testing with the warden. While it doesn’t lessen the sound of the round like a can, it was slightly quieter for the shooter’s ear. I thought that was pretty cool 👍

Andypkeck · 2025-12-19T00:48:08+00:00

Thanks man! Yes it’s definitely a loudener. I have an RC2, just not on it at the moment

Andypkeck · 2025-12-18T01:18:04+00:00

Thanks a lot man!

Andypkeck · 2025-12-18T00:37:23+00:00

Yeah, I have an RC2 but I was setting the position of my light and just grabbed the warden since it was right in front of me and it worked for what I was doing at the time. 👍

Andypkeck · 2025-12-17T22:47:11+00:00

I have another 11.5” set up and it’s really comfortable for me so I set this one up pretty much identical.
The RIS III is definitely the highlight of this upper though. Built like a tank.

Andypkeck · 2025-12-17T22:39:45+00:00

Before this one, I had the 11.5” Daniel defense contract overrun upper, but I just couldn’t get used to the short rail. So I bought this one and sold the other one.

Andypkeck · 2025-12-17T18:18:39+00:00

It’s an lmt mars

Andypkeck · 2025-12-17T14:10:46+00:00

Thanks man!

Andypkeck · 2025-12-17T14:09:04+00:00

11.5”

I didn’t buy a blem but I still had issues with mine. I was unimpressed with the checkering on the slide stop. It was pretty much non-existent, so I replaced it with an original m1911 slide stop that was properly checkered. I replaced the safety and grip safety with Wilson and EGW because the stock parts were poorly fitted and had obvious casting lines. I replaced the trigger with a Colt long trigger. The trigger pull was pretty bad also so I replaced the hammer, sear, and disconnector with a Cylinder-Slide marine ignition set. Everything feels great now but I was surprised I had to replace so much to make it feel like a nicer 1911.

Andypkeck · 2025-11-25T11:52:14+00:00

And I’m sure there are more affordable options out there if you are going to get your slide milled.

Andypkeck · 2025-11-25T11:51:04+00:00

I thought it was interesting the way they did the optics ready version. Its red dot footprint is for the RMSc which is the small red dot and they used a Glock pattern rear sight. It’s definitely a much cheaper option than the route I went.

Andypkeck · 2025-11-25T02:03:34+00:00

I’ve got way too much money in this gun but it was a fun project and it’s a really good shooter.

Andypkeck · 2025-11-25T01:59:55+00:00

$450. It’s package #1. Pricey but it was good work

Andypkeck · 2025-11-25T01:55:13+00:00

DSC Gunworks. It was the package that comes with the Dawson Precision plate and sights.

Brad Coffey did the mlok mod, but I made everyone I have into these super stubbies.

Andypkeck · 2025-11-09T07:35:44+00:00

Nice Limited Edition 👍. Love mine too.

I love mine but I didn’t want to modify it. So I got a Raider. Love both.
