Fusion Custom Bobtail Kit for our soldiers over sea’s

First a big thanks is in order to Bob and the fine folks at Fusion for the great work they did on this project of mine. I would also like to thank Larry Davidson for the wonderful grips he sent me for the gun. It is about 90% complete as I write this. I have some final polishing to do before I send it off to be Cerakoted. I ordered the kit about three weeks before I came home on my R&R from Iraq. It was sitting here waiting on me when I arrived. The build was very easy and required only the use of some small hand tools and patience. The only parts that were not 100% drop in were the trigger shoe and the ambi-safety. Bob sells great kits for anyone considering building a great 1911 to their own specs. I test fired it on Wednesday and ran 100 rounds of 230gr Ball through it without a single FTF or FTE. It ran flawlessly. I am using Wilson Combat 47D's in the pistol. I topped the slide with a set of Heinie Straight Eights. It shot to POA everytime I pulled the trigger. The trigger is breaking right at 4 pounds with zero creep or over travel which is perfect for a carry gun. 25 Yard groups off a bench with remanufactured ball ammo averaged 2.5". Once I get back from Iraq in June I will work up some handloads and I am sure I can get it under 2" with no problem. I will certainly be ordering a Fusion for my next 1911 build.

Thanks again to Bob at Fusion for the great kit. Below are some pictures
