Build No. 1

My Caspian slide arrived which allowed me to start fitting the barrel, or at least the barrel hood.

The first objective of the research I did into selecting parts for this build was to find a solid base for the pistol: the slide, frame, and barrel.

I don’t have all the parts for this build in hand yet. But I do have a bunch of the small parts and so I have started toying with them.

Perhaps it’s a rite of passage or just an itch I want to scratch, but I am going to build my own 1911.
