CMD...Two-Toned To All Stainless

[eo1bart]

Well Mac A, you've inspired me to change the black parts on my full size sr1911. I just ordered
an Ed Brown mag. catch and thumb safety from Midway. I'm probably going to go with the hard chrome on the grip safety and mainspring housing, in order to avoid having to fit those parts.. Still undecided on the slide stop and the hammer.

MacA....You just saved me money/work. I was going to buy SS parts for my CMD and fit them but why do that I`ll just have them Hard chromed and be done with it.

I mailed Chris at Metaloy. Looks like the time frame will 4-5 weeks for the work. I'm going to do a little shooting this week and then strip it down next weekend and send out the parts

Did they give you a price for all the parts ? And if so what was it if you don't mind saying ?

This is what I'm sending him;
- Mainspring housing
- Beavertail Grip Safety
- Hammer
- Slide stop

The price quoted was;
$11.00 each part and return shipping is $6.50 without insurance, $18.00 with insurance.

Unless he has gotten extra busy, I bet you get them back faster than that. Good luck! and POST PICS!!!

I am looking for a SR1911 commander. I think I have a SS slide stop around here and I will replace the mainspring housing with a SS arched one just because it seems to fit my hand better. I may have to keep this thread in mind for when the rest of the 2-tone look wears on me. Right now I have two full size Springers, one SS and one parkerized.

Just a quick thought.
If you have a new gun you might want to shoot it a little before you send the parts off to be refinished, just to make sure you dont have any problems that might have to be fixed by Ruger, they may void the warranty and not repair it or you might get the gun back with black parts.
Just a thought .
Im thinking about having the black parts hard chomed also but going to wait until i'm sure the gun shoots ok.

I checked out Metaloy and they seem to do nice work. Considering getting a frame and slide done.
