good 1911 to use with a Mech CCU

jeffryb
What would be a good reasonable cost 1911 for use with a Mech CCU carbine and also stand alone for carry. A full size is not out of the question ,esp a high cap like a Para, but a smaller model would be nice as well. I don't want to spend more than $600 or so, would rather a little less if that is feasible, but I realize it may take 800 or more. Ideas?

    Maybe you should take a look at a Springfield Armory GI Model 1911A1. They are justa basic, no frills .45, but are super reliabel, and high quality. They are also around 400-450 dollars.

    I have a carbine upper like that with a Springfield milspec, and it's one of the most fun things I shoot. Very reliable.

    i would def go with the mil spec but get the the "MIL SPEC" not the GI model. it is basicaly the same exept there are a few reliabiity enhancements.


    also
    how much would one of these units cost? i have a mil spec that i hav e highly customized and this would be another cool thing to have around (.22 conversion upper is prob first on the list though)

    I bought one of these at a show in Reno 2 years ago.
    Price was $175 + $15 for the stock spacer.
    I sold it because it's illegal to own in California with the 1911 frame attached.
    I may have the dealer's name somewhere if you're interested.

    Very nice carbine. And very accurate!!!!!

    You can use any 1911 frame you have, just make sure it does not have a "ramp cut" like the Para has. I have a great competition set-up with my Para, pound and a half crisp trigger, "high capacity" magazines etc., but only works as a single shot, because the rounds will jam against the frame's ramp cut below the barrel.

    It would be nice if they offered this conversion kit with ramped barrels.
