| Has anyone here "bobtailed" their full-size 1911? If so, I'd like to see pics. |

I've a Ed Brown Class A Ltd Bobtail Commander that I sent over to the boys at Yost-Bonitz for a touch up. The Bobtail gives the gun a totally different feel. I kinda like it. You can see more pictures of my gun at LouderThanWords.us

Bobtails have a very different feel from a standard 1911 grip. Almost "revolver-like", for want of a better term. One of my good friends just purchased a new D.W. bobtail commander, and it is really sweet. I still prefer my standard flat MSHs, but it might be worth it to own just one round butt 1911. |

Can this be safely done to an aluminum frame? Is there a plastic or carbon-fiber MSH available in bobtailed confirguration? It's a modification I would consider if I could prevent switching back to an aluminum or steel MSH and gaining back that ounce of weight. (I'm thinking about doing this to an aluminum frame that currently has a plastic MSH, if that makes any sense...) |
