Just got done cleaning my $326.00 ATI 1911 from Grab A Gun that i picked up from SOONER STATE PAWN this afternoon Seems good to go. There was brown or dirty oil every where, but it is clean & oiled now.
Would one of those ATI 1911s be an okay CCW?
I couldn't pass this one up. They get pretty good reviews over on 1911 Forums and CS is supposed to be good if something is not right. Total was $336.99 delivered to my FFL. Add the $10 FFL fee and subtract the $30 rebate, it will run me $316.99 OTD. Not bad for a Commander length 1911 with dovetailed sights & beavertail GS. My thought is to test it with FMJ & JHP's. If it has no malfunctions, I'll use it as a gunsmithing project. I'm thinking round butt the frame, lower & flare the ejection port, carry bevel, then Cerakote it in Blue Titanium. Once that's done, stuff it with tool steel internals and top it off with a set of night sights & VZ grips. Something like this for a lot less $$$ is what I'm hoping for:
