Okay, the Armscor...well...let's just say that's not my area of expertise, LOL. I don't see many of them in my world, with the exception of being in the hands of brand new shooters. That being said, they have a fan base in the 'carry' world, but not so much in the bullseye world. Mechanically, it's hard for a manufacturer to really botch a 1911 - but I do know that, spec-wise, the Armscor's can be a bit off. That doesn't hurt them in their own right, mind you, but it can make accurizing it a heckuva pain. Apart from that I don't really subscribe to 'hi-cap' either...lest I fall into the same mentality as the 'more bullets = better' crowd. To me, 7 or 8+1 rounds means I can kill that many bad guys, not that I have that many presents for one enemy :) Sorry for the late reply, the bullseye season gets a bit hectic.

Negowski Thu, 17 Jun 2010 21:26:21 +0000 http://www.veritasgunworks.com/?p=14#comment-57 Hi! What do you think of the Armscor HiCap 1911? Is it worth investing in? Is it a good quality firearm? I read a review from a avid shooter on the internet and he was fairly happy with it. He said it handled as well as his colt. He said the trigger was sloppy and the finish had a couple of marks on it. He was going to replace some parts on it eventually. What say you? I left a message earlier today but when I checked later on it was gone. So sorry I am sking the same question twice. Stephen Hi!

They're mil-spec, so you shouldn't have any issues apart from what anyone who uses mil-spec runs into. Those should be fine; as a matter of fact – I still have a couple of those in my inventory.

I only do one or two guns at a time (maybe three), so I have no need for 'distributors', so to speak. Frames and stuff; again - purchased by the person I'm building the gun for...most of the time. However, I do take advantage of the Caspian 'second hands' at Camp Perry - outstanding deals! Last year I picked up 4 in one shot; and the 'blemishes' are VERY minor and easily removed. You CAN mix steels - but stainless is the worst to work with, period. You have to be VERY careful because it galls even if you look at it funny, hehe. You can't use a vigorous technique with stainless as you can with carbon. The best gunsmiths ARE machinists. In fact, let's take the Marine Corps (2112's) guys - more than 2/3 of their training are as machinists. You can build an outstanding gun by hand, without a single machine (that's how I learned - it sux, LOL) - but these days, machines make it a helluva lot easier. BUT you will absolutely, positively need more training as a gunsmith. Yes, the books and classes are good - but nothing beats apprenticeship. So many 'bad' "cough-smiths" read a book or two, maybe take an online class (these days) but never spend any time with a 'real' gunsmith - that's why they usually suck and I wouldn't let them work on my bicycle :) My point is, you can teach yourself to a point...for example; if you had a student and wanted them to learn something basic on a lathe, but all they did was read a book - would you let them near your machine? I wouldn't :) "head knowledge" is always different than 'practical experience', they're not always interchangeable - if you get where I'm going with that. In this particular case, the end result or end item can kill someone. I get 99% of my parts from Brownell’s, or the person I’m building the gun for.
