Nyles, while GM's .45 is a hybrid of a 1911 and an A1, the frames still a 1911, i hate seeing that done. Now if it was an ARMSCOR or RIA .45 I wouldn't care.

BTW, I planned to put the nickel comp on the Cara gun and refinish "gladys" as a display piece. I'll put all original M1911 parts on it and reblue it with milspec. It won't be original but it will look nice. I never planned on selling it anyway. The compensator is actually quite different from the Punisher '04 style, because those were two cut comps that threaded to the front of the barrel. Mine are three cuts that replace the barrel bushing completely. Makes the slide a little heavier but it still functions fine. And why a Colt slide? My dad has plenty handy, I'm using what I have to work with. And I like Colt, I trust them and they work.

Like I said though, I was given it as is. Once I build the Cara gun I'll make the pistol an ALL M1911 and give it the respect it deserves. I've felt the newer A1s and they indeed feel better in the hand than the hybrid. And god I hate hammer bite.

I've seen a 1911 make where someone turned it into a full auto weapon with a wooden stock attached and a 15 round magazine

Yeah, I saw that video a long time ago. In fact, it's what led to the 1911 being fitted with the slotted mainspring housing and being fitted with a stock. Then we pulled out the 15 round magazine (although mine has last round hold open unlike this guy's). Then to make it legal we needed to buy a 16" barrel.
We can't convert it to full auto but it is still fun to shoot. I wish I had a full auto M1911A1. The fact that it is select fire is the neatest.

Personally, I want an AMT or Springfield Longslide, with the .460 Rowland conversion. Make it my hog gun. :]

This guy my dad knows is having a liquidation sale of all of his guns and one of them is a franken gun with a Colt frame and an AMT Hardballer longslide. I'm interested and he may buy it in the future.
And a .460 1911? Sounds like a beast.
