Much more interesting than the 8mm barrels are these new controls for the TM 1911.

Since the Prime controls have disappeared these seem to be the only home other than modifying Hi Capa or RS parts.

Hammer
Beavertail Grip Safety with Memory ridge
Flat Main Spring Housing (with a stupid lanyard loop)
Ambi Safeties
Flat Sear and Hammer Pins

I hope these actually make it to Hong Kong.

That Kimber hammer is way too thick...

I was hoping that some of these would be silver....

Still, nice to see that others are making an effort to provide support like this for the TM 1911.

What the EFF kind of rear sight is that on their model gun?! Looks like a stubby Kimber rear...I might like to get one?

Those would be the Wilson Pyramid sights.

That grip safety looks like it might not fit a standard TM 1911 frame tang. Is that a different frame that Koba is using in the promo pics?

Argh... 16000yen! And here was me hoping that there was just a rear sight available, not the entire slide. >_<

Kiwis are boring.


Too poor to get even a Rent-a-Sig... or is that too cheap?

Is there a promo pic of the parts on a gun?

That grip safety does not look like it is intended for the A1's pointy tang. The grip safety's corresponding gap is too small.

Looking more closely it does seem to be on TK's heavy weight frame. Interesting, I guess I will have to use a Wilson Combat then.

That slide is awfully expensive for plastic.

We will see just how expensive it is, I have the guys at Poweredge USA trying to source it for me. I hope they can come through.
