This is 1911 thread

[Deadreckonin]

I was just curious. How is it that most of the pics iv quickly scanned through all seem to have metal frames, mainly the digital cam pics of personal 1911's. Im still a bit of a nub to all of this so if someone would so kindly help me out please

No one will help you regarding this matter until you get age verified. There is a age verification info thread in the FAQ section which i would recommend reading. Everything you need to know is in there. OH yea i almost forgot. Welcome to ASC.

I am soon to join the 1911 club Have ordered a SOCOM Gear MEU. But I have two questions...

1) Where can you get custom grips?

2) Are there any for the MEU, or only the standard 1911 style grip?

MEUSOC is a type of 1911...and should fit any grip design to fit a 1911 government frame.

Commonly seen MEU grip like ones on this page:

Is the Pachmayr Signature Grip:

Sweet, I had guessed that most 1911 parts would work on the MEU, I was just curious because the MEU has more of a wrap-around grip then the standard 1911 if they were interchangeable.

Thanks! And I will post picks of mine when it comes in I am getting an OD MEU.

for future reference, if you get a clone 1911, atleast get an ARMY or Meister, the WE 1911s are shitty, and have proprietary magazines that hold half the number of BBs that a TM holds, and STILL sometimes wont get a full mag off before running out of gas, not to mention broken spring plugs and barrel bushings

Duly noted, but every review I read on the SOCOM Gear MEU's said they were really nice guns.

Yeah, I have a SOCOMGear MEU; I wish I'd done more research before I bought it. Half the mags leak, and it didn't last 4 months gamed lightly once a week before it broke down. Pull the trigger and the hammer doesn't drop, or half drops and empties all the gas. Or it fires 3-4 round bursts. Now I have a KSC 1911A1 and I couldn't be happier with it.
Still trying to decide if the MEU is worth the trouble to mail it to a gun doc to try and fix it.

[Thenooblord]

give it to me for cheap

Really sweet looking 1911s here. I will be posting as soon as I locate mine

[Jsofter]

heres mine, sad to see it gone, had a blast with it though.

I got my 1911 MEU and I love it, can't wait to game!
