This is for the .45 owners.
In April 99 there was an article in Shooting Times about Jim Clark's custom "meltdown" treatment of the 1911. The article was written by Sheriff Jim Wilson, Handgun Editor for ST.
This "treatment" is a complete dehorning of the entire gun. It actually looks like it is melted. The result shown in the pictures was far out.
A lot more was done to the pistol besides the external radical dehorning. Trigger job, etc.
The question is, has anyone spent the big bucks for this treatment on their own 1911? It was advertised as costing $675 if you supply a basic Springfield 1911, $1350 if clark supplies the basic pistol.
Actually, I didn't know a basic Springfield 1911 cost $675. I can get one at the local gun shop for a lot closer to $500 (or less).
How about it? Has anyone seen one of these meltdown jobs?
