After another great day at the range with this big piece of stainless-steel, it's time to introduce you this .45 ACP-tackdriver. I've bought this pistol back in 1996,
because of the tight tolerances. Everything was okay, until the evening when my "reloadingroutine" destroys the part of the barrel around the chain-piece.
Because of its uncommon trumpet-shape wasn't it possible to use one of the myriads of aftermarket-barrels. Mr Crottet, a Swiss gunsmith-wizzard repaired the barrel.
That happened ca. ten years ago...
Since I own this gun, I can't go wrong with it, if someone want's to shoot a match against me. The only thing in this system, that got bigger tolerances is Swissman.
The gun comes with a fully adjustable TRT rearsight and a, from the inside of the slide, screwed on black frontsight.
The triggers breaks with ca. 2 kilogramms and there is no creep. The "free" way of the trigger to the "set-point" is 0.12 inches.
Please note the "special tool"
for taking the (main)recoilspring/(main)recoilspringrod/(main)recoilspringhull-unit out of the slide.
Then you pull the barrel through the frontside oft the slide..
The gun is taken apart...... and you can have another look at the uncommon shape of the barrel and as you see, it holds a 13 rounds container.
The wrong side......with an interesting view on NO BARRELBUSHING. The slide is drilled conically and sets the barrel in battery.
..and some braggin' is allowed with this trusty 1911... the very low "9" is the Swissman-tolerance.
The picture was taken today with a cellphone.

Thanks for looking. All questions and comments are very welcome.
