Bobtailed S&W 1911SC

[lsbbigdog]

Stopped over a friends house (jim42)and we set up his Bridgeport with the Ed Brown Bobtail jig and drilled out the frame for the new location of the MSH pin.Everything was real easy to setup ,but good thing Jim double checked me because I did center the drill bit properly in the chuck and what a f-ed up that would have been.
I cut off the corners about 1/8" longer and just filed away until everything fit up nice.
I just touched up the frame with an airbrush and a bit of black Duracoat.

I thought a lot more of Remsport before I saw that pink, ugly trigger.

Idbbigdog,
Other than looking cool, and it looks really cool, what does giving it a bobtail do for you?

The theory is that it conceals better.

The theory is that it conceals better.

And it doesn't dig into your fat roll. If your a "pretty plus" fellow.

Exactly! Couldn't have said it better and that's why I did it. Of coarse I like the way they look.
