MIM mostly.

I think I bought a thumb safety once. It didn't quite cover the hole in the frame beneath it when it was clicked up.

I've used a few sets of the Klonimus grips and have been very pleased with them. I also have 2 pistols using their mainspring housing/magwell combo. No complaints from me.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Purchased a mainspring housing/magwell for my Springfield and it works great.

That looks pretty good. I haven't seen one other than checkering. How's the grip? It does look little slippery.

 

Received the Klonimus aluminum alloy MSH in the mail today. It installed easily with no filing required. Compared it to the S&A that I had in the gun, and a new Wilson. Bought the Wilson thinking it was checkered 20 LPI, but I was wrong. Looks like 30 LPI. So when I saw the Klonimus listed at 20 LPI, complete with 23 LB. spring, pin, plunger and the other part which I can't recall the name right now, I thought it was worth a try. Looks to be made close to the same quality as the wilson, and far better than the S&A. The one drawback is the bottom edge is very sharp, where the Wilson has a beveled edge. If I find this uncomfortable to shoot, I may have to change to the Wilson. The first and third pics are the Klonimus next to the Wilson. The middle pic is the Klonimus next to the S&A. So the bottom line is, the part is exactly as advertised, fit the gun perfectly, but not quite as refined as the Wilson.

 

On anything I build , I will only use Name brand parts from "Known" companies.
I may have to bet my life on that gun and saving on the price of a small parts isn't worth it.

 

I have bought a LOT of stuff from them. Slide parts (extractors, firing pin kits... spring, pin, and stop) bushings and frame parts of all sorts over a few years and never had a problem with fitment or wear. I don't build carry guns so the bet your life issue won't happen. For anyone building their own carry gun they have issues to defend in court I think.

 

Bought a couple of 9mm mags a while ago. A little cheaper than MecGar, so I thought I'd try them. Worked ok, probably won't buy any more.

 

Buy cheap, get cheap.

 

Hi,
Have used some of their parts and have been satisfied, although most are MIM seem to be good MIM.

They seem to have some connection with BUL out of Israel, which seems to make a fine product.

You guys might want to either do some research or try some things for yourself, before you go on a Forum and start trashing someone's business!

Guilty until proven innocent, I guess???

I have read this thread with great interest. What 'trashing' do you speak of?

 

Hi,
For the OP, here are some pics of a Klonimus 1911 disconnector I used on my last Commander build.

You can see the part lines, but it polished well and fit and operated no problems.

The pistol has now had over 600 rds. through it with not one FTF OR FTE.

Time will tell?

 

seagiant, Thanks much for the pics. Looks like there is no reason to be hesitant to try them. I was looking at their aluminum MSH kit with a 23 lb spring and the other parts needed, for a very attractive price.

 

This post is an interesting read. I just spent all of $40 on a SS MSH with magwell, shipped eco. Looking forward to checking this out.

 

I have been happy with them. The triggers are excellent!

 

Sounds like some kind of Russian trap.

 

Or Russian Clap...

Dose of it on 'ya.

 

Ask ANY top gunsmith if they use their parts. I know the answer.

 

Hi,
I don't know, BUL Armory might and their 1911/2011's are being used in competition and have a very good name.

A lot of the upper gunsmiths "make" and use their own parts...

NH, Wilson, Harrison, ect.?

Just sayin?

 

I lost a recoil spring plug. Ordered some of their stainless ones. Im happy with them. If i recall they have a website too. Sometimes it's cheaper that way. No ebay fees. Ebay charges 10%,

Have used a couple of their MSH Kits with no problems also my buddy has used them without any issues

 

Toby Barrett, thanks for the photo. I am no expert, but the MSH and magwell look fine to me, but those grip screws sticking way out from the grips would drive me insane. And it would be a short drive.

 

Lol, yeah they stick out a little far. The grips are homemade out of Birdseye maple. I shaved them a little thin so I could reach the mag release without changing my grip too much.

 

I installed the Klonimus skeletonized hammer on my Mil-Spec when I added the Wilson Combat beavertail. The hammer certainly looks quality and the resultant trigger pull is indistinguishable from factory stock.

The hammer is definitely lighter than stock with the center section cut away.
