No, not going to conceal it. I have a Glock 30 for that.

Post by: Bofire on January 19, 2011, 07:37:25 PM: :) Yep it is possible but unless I was buying a stripped model to build I would not. If you are intending to use it "as is" just go buy a Glock.

Post by: GlennGTR on January 29, 2011, 06:40:48 PM: Not possible unless you find someone that will part with an old used one. Save a couple hundred dollars more, then go get yourself a decent 1911. You wont be happy with anything else. :twocents:
