Before I begin, a quick word about me and why a 1911: I don’t consider myself to be a firearm or shooting expert, but I am an unusually well-trained up user with 20 years of shooting experience, and I’m definitely not a Fudd.

Installation onto my Kimber 1911 lower was quick and uneventful thanks to an install video on the Nelson Custom website.

Even today, this 100-year-old design goes toe to toe with Glocks. There is an old belief that 1911s will only work with ball ammo and to avoid putting hollow points through them.
