I almost dropped the envelope in the mail for a Wilson Combat ‘Sentinel ‘ that sorta kinda reminds me of your 1911. However, I simply got cold feet with the cost but I still have the requisition just in case. Anyway, your piece is very impressive.
I like it stock, w/o the wrap around grips. I'm not a fan of the mods you have chosen, and I've kept my mouth shut until now. Please stop new posts on this old pistol. ....PLEASE...
Stock Defender has a "PLASTIC" main spring housing (YUCK)
I can appreciate you not liking the final "LOOK" of the gun but every mod created a much more reliable & comfortable version of a stock defender.
It is the "Cat's Meow" of Mods. Barring the cosmetic slide work (which is or course subjective) who can argue that ED BROWN Everything, Wolff Springs and a faster easier to load Magwell dont improve this gun? Not to mention the fine tuning of an expert gunsmith!
I believe I had one FTE with a Speer Gold Dot. I haven't experimented with much hollow point ammo. Ball will run all day long and very tight groups. Over 1000 rounds without a hic-up!
I wouldn't want to remove any weight from the slide, so no flutes; and I don't want those holes in the top of the front of the slide - they look like another place for the leather particles that shave from a holster to get into.
The flutes do LOOK great, but I don't really like the skeleton slide thing. Small complaints, you know I'd carry that in a heartbeat.
i see the magwell is extended, can you fit higher capacity mags now or is it just for the sole purpose of quick loading? I heard from an unreliable source that you can get 8 round mags for the defender that fit flush.
I have a colt new agent, and was trying to find "upgrades" for it, but i cant find anything. Know of any good sites i could check out?
Factory recoil spring assembly with wolff factory weight 19lb recoil spring set.
As far as timing etc. Jojos did all the tweaking but runs like a champ!
