The Rock Island Armory BBR 3.10 CS offers a subcompact 1911 experience with double-stack capacity in .45 ACP. It features a bushingless barrel, a dual-spring recoil system for managing recoil, and a crisp, adjustable trigger. The pistol is noted for its 'beefy' feel and aggressive checkering, making it a heavy-duty option for concealed carry.
The Guncrafter Industries Model 1 is a custom 1911 chambered in the proprietary .50 GI caliber, designed to offer increased bore diameter without significantly altering recoil or handling compared to a .45 ACP. Founded by Alex Zimmerman, the company offers various models, with the Model 1 being the standard configuration. The .50 GI utilizes a rebated rim for compatibility with .45 ACP slides and features a bushingless barrel and solid guide rod, reflecting its custom, high-end nature with a substantial lead time.
This review of the Kimber Pro Carry II and Pro TLE II .45 ACP 1911s highlights their accuracy, reliability with modern hollow points, and factory custom features. While acknowledging the 1911 platform's capacity limitations compared to modern designs, the speaker praises Kimber's execution, noting their bushingless barrel design contributes to tight lock-up and accuracy. The value proposition is strong, offering custom features at a price point around $900-$1000.
