OK, I've seen a lot of pictures of those fine Fusion 1911's, and have read all the great reviews. It's time for me to find out for myself. I sent the specs for a 1911 that I'd like built - I went crazy, asking for my dream pistol. I might have gone overboard, but if you don't ask - you won't get it. I hope they don't think I'm crazy. Anyway, I await their response.

What all did you ask for? I'm curious to know.

OK, don't laugh. I asked for a 5" 1911 chambered for 45acp - and it had to be built for accuracy. Here's part of my email I sent with my wish list:

I would like:
5" match barrel, bushing
ultra light trigger pull
no rail
BoMar (or clone if not available anymore)
Rear BoMar deep buried cut
Plain narrow serrated front sight
25lpi front strap checkering
flat MSH 25lpi checkering
Serrated rear of slide to match rear sight
Top of slide serrations is decorative pattern
Recessed slidestop pin on right side of frame
Ambi safety - narrow left side, wide right (I'm a lefty)
Best hammer/sear/disconnector available (ultra light hammer)
Custom serial number
No front slide cocking serrations
High frontstrap cut under trigger guard
Standard (short) guiderod
Standard (short) mag release
Finished in deep, rich blueing

Nothing wrong with that Spec out List


the Deep Rich Bluing might be the prob though I haven't seen anything with that great Colt Royal Blueing or the Old School Smith Finishs

Nice list primers, nothing to laugh at in there at all.

Since you are going all out what about an egw thick carry bevel (I know not a carry gun but they look darn good) bushing with a thick initialed guide rod? Not saying you need it, just pointing it out.

 

[Bud White]

or just a thick bushing in general you can get it with out the carry bevel that would look good

 

[Mike G]

Sounds like a cool wish list to me.

 

[Primersinmyshoe]

Right Bud, no carry bevel as this would be a range gun - not for carry.

 

[Bud White]

That would like might cool .. no side views on Egw's sight though

 

[El Pistolero]

You beat me, the bottom one is the the carry bevel, looks better to me than the ones with the edge on any gun carry or not.



Here's the monogram version plug type with carry bevel but without the monogram.

Here is a carry bevel bushing with just the plain plug:

I thought I'd use one of my extra smiley plugs. You know the ones?

 

[Bud White]

The ones that say have a nice day ? or smile wait for flash ?

 

[El Pistolero]

Here is one on a gun without the carry bevel. I had beveled bushings before they came out with the monogramed plugs and those thick plugs are not beveled as they can spin. They monogramed ones do not spin and look really sharp as they are beveled and blend in good with the beveled bushings.:

 

[Primersinmyshoe]

The - have a nice day plugs

Or, maybe they have a plug with a fancy "F".

A little guy with his hands up would be cool.
