Colt Combat Commander Project Update

[doc540]

Finally got the Barsto match barrel and custom bushing properly fitted and worked the recoil spring back up to 16lbs.

Brass is ejecting 3-4 feet to the right even with lighter target loads.

White dot front sight is about as close as Dawson can get without having to custom machine it. Close enough for IDPA work.

For those that missed it the first time:

Congrats! I love bringing back a "mud puppy" to shooting condition, and you made that one a very pretty pony!

[Bawanna]

Yes indeed. Very very nice.

[PYROhafe]

Thats the same gun??? Wow! Looks amazing! Ive never done the 1911 thing, but some of the pics ive seen around here (like that one) are starting to make me drool over them

Awesome looking pair of 1911's...i bet they shoot as good as they look.

Very nice.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

Sold the .45 a few months ago, but the 9mm really shoots well now.

With low power target loads the recoil is super light.

Double taps and the Mogadishu drill are a breeze.

The CCO in .45, though, is on the snappy side.


"Doc! The holster wear on that 9mm is just gorgeous."

Good eye....gotta appreciate honest wear on a shooter.
