korey_hofer Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) since the .45acp is a low pressure round is a 3'' barrel going to kick much at all? I've shot 5'' barrels but never a 3'' the gun I'm looking at is a kimber with a 3'' bull barrel Edited April 19, 2011 by wenn_du_weinst Quote previously known as wenn_du_weinst aka fucking internet coward supreme.

Bigsix Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 There is a slight increase in felt recoil, anytime you switch over to a shorter barreled handgun, although if you have shot a full size 1911 in .45acp and were ok with the recoil, then you will not have any problems with the commander or officer sized 1911's as well. The 3 inch barrel 1911s tend to eat up recoil springs a bit faster than the full sizes from my personal experience, although this is not an issue if you are only an occaisional shooter. And even if you wear out a spring, replacements from wolf are cheap and allow you the opportunity to play with the "weight" of the spring and tailor it to your needs. Often times a heavier spring can lighten the felt recoil while shooting, the only real downside being that there will be a slighty higher effort required to rack the slide, again, no biggie to me. And as for you wanting to upgrade to all wilson bullet proof parts, thats cool, if you want to dress it up a touch and spend money....I'd suggest you buy that gun, and shoot the fuck out of it before you go throwing new parts on it. The kimber parts are well made and will provide you with years upon years of service... that being said, one of my 1911s has nearly every wilson piece on it, they will require light hand fitting to function properly, and again, will give you years of trouble free service. More often than not, aftermarket pieces such as the thumb safety, the trigger, the slide stop, will require hand fitting to work properly, if you arent good with your hands and precise things, it is best left to a gunsmith, unless of course you dont mind botching a 45 dollar thumb safety a couple times before you get it right. Usually the material needing removed is in the hundreths to thousandths range, minuscule, so if you wanna fit them yourself, go slow and look up the how tos on you tube. there are also several books available readily to educate yourself on fitting and building custom 1911s. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to shoot me a message and Ill gladly do what I can to help you out.
