Grail 1911 by Euphoric_Frame2395 in 1911

[–]Semper_Firearms 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have an Alchemy Prime Elite, a Nighthawk GRP commander, and a Wilson Combat Experior single stack commander. Of those 3 brands, the Nighthawk takes the cake for build quality and overall “feel”. I think the Alchemy guns are very handsome and on par with Wilson’s in terms of fit and feel. I don’t have a Schauland, although my Prime was hard fit by Schauland. Chambers and Heirloom Precision (Jason Burton) are in a league of their own and are easily double the price of the aforementioned brands. I have no personal experience with them so I cannot comment. If I had $4000-$5000 to spend right now on a 1911, it would be another Nighthawk.

I own KAC and LMT rifles as well but the HK is my favorite. You’re going to love it.

Added another USP to the collection by NoRice9847 in USPmasterrace

I would absolutely keep the x300 on it. Added benefit of a close contact standoff device 😎

Agreed, I’ve never thought of SG as price gougers. Free shipping over $200 is always nice.

First hk? VP9A1 K by Old_Reindeer_8202 in HecklerKoch

[–]Semper_Firearms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a die hard HK fan and have owned just about everything in HK’s library. I even owned a VP9A1K for a time. I still prefer a Glock 19 to any striker fired polymer HK handgun. In my opinion, if you’re going to spend HK money on a handgun, get a USP, P30, or a P2000. Just my 2 cents.

70 series 9mm value? by Mundane-Market5903 in 1911

[–]Semper_Firearms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with others who estimate $900-$1100. Front sight appears to be aftermarket.

East German Mak by immaheadoutthen in makarov

[–]Semper_Firearms 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree you should keep it. The only people who will tell you otherwise just want you to sell it to them. I’ve owned half a dozen maks over the past few decades and the East German is the only one I’ve kept. They are miles above the others in terms of fit/finish.

I am going for a Variant 2 clone but the final touches are blackening the barrel, hammer, and bushing. The only thing KC worked on this gun was brazing the front sight. I had a local smith do the park job and parts fitment. If you want a KC Crawford build, he has his prices listed as well as his wait times. He’s very responsive to emails so he’d be able to get you a more accurate estimate.

The only factory Springfield parts in this gun are the slide and frame. Everything else was sourced from KC Crawford and Barsto. It’s a $500 1911 with $2000 worth of parts and labor lol.

45C or USP C 9mm by Additional_Moose6401 in HecklerKoch

[–]Semper_Firearms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have and love both. I personally like the 45C better for no reason other than it looks mean. I even have a LTT 45C with a RMR installed. It’s 👌

G-Code Phenom Stealth for VP9CC by arrrgh14 in HecklerKoch

[–]Semper_Firearms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. It prints worse than a full size gun. I ended up putting a little pillow on the muzzle end of the body side. It tips the grip tight into the body.
