Hello,
I am looking to do a 1911 build. I've decided on a Kart Xact Barrel (similar to their EZ fit barrel, the bottom lugs are fitted and the hood and top lugs need fitted) and a Caspian stainless non ramped frame.
For the slide, I definitely want stainless. I like the brand "The Buffalo" stainless slide, made in the USA and it looks like good quality. However, Numrich has a Remington R1911 stainless slide for $90 less. Do you think the Buffalo is worth the extra price?
Also, does anyone have any slide recommendations besides the two I mentioned? I am hoping to spend no more than $250 on the slide, and the Buffalo seems similar to the Caspian except for the price.
Also, on a side note, where can I find parts kits for the small parts? I'm going to hand pick some of the small parts but things like the safety lever, springs, and slide stop seem like I could find a kit that includes them?
Thanks,
John
