Mailman finally started dropping off the parts to build out another one of my PSA 1911 frames. These carbon steel ones have been sitting in a baggie in a drawer for a year. They develop surface rust just from handling them. I'm thinking a trip to the cerakote guy may be in order once I get it all together and make sure it goes bang.

I had my carbon frame blued but even then it wanted to develop rust spots, mainly under the grips. Ended up coating it. Now my 9mm is shiny.

Wanted to get a sense of how they were wearing...I haven’t heard any reports of galling or anything.

These were a remarkably good deal. Got a stainless/checkered PSA frame in 2015 or 16 and a GI replacement “hard slide.” Have a few parts on hand, just got a Stan Chen ms housing.

Plan to get a Bar-Sto barrel and have it built up like the Pachmyer signature two tones from back in the day 😎

@OODA_loop That's beautiful! I need to find someone to finish my slide and fit my sights, I haven't had time and probably won't for another year.

Bought mine in 2015 as well. Got the frame built, then slacked on the slide and got caught up with work, school, and having a kid.

Yeah, I've been hoping to see some movement on the PSA 1911s. I would think they have more resources now to keep this project going. I hope they get back into the 1911 business.
