Back into the 1911s

Hideous.

Bill can comment. Hope he does.

I believe thats the "new" 2013 frame cut. Theres a bit of discussion about it at 1911 forum - Wilson sub group.

Some of us still like the 47D for non magwell guns. 500 tube is longer, more space for 8 rounds and stouter spring, but at the price of mag hanging out of grip, a bit. There is a very small ground swell of interest in the new square wire HD spring of the ETM adopted to the 47D for a more compact, better working 8 round version...

Hmm... didn't realize Wilson had done that. Cost savings??? The undercut trigger guard is one of their selling points IMHO. Why would they go away from that feature?

I gladly give up the cosmetic appeal of the shorter 47D for the robustness of the ETM +P square spring version. Ultimate 1911 mag IMHO. I drop the Tripp 7 rd conversion kit into my 47D's, which is a vast improvement in spring life and consistency.

Maybe they found the 1911 market doesn't like undercut? I don't care for it.

I don't care for the undercut either. I prefer the stock Colt shape

Sweeet. Reverse crown, FCS, thick bushing, light rail. Whoops, wrong forum.......

If that is a normal (non-undercut frame, like a Springfield) curve there, I'm finally interested in Wilsons.

Yes. It was that much of a killer for me.

I'm glad. I miss your 1911 posts.

Sweet...welcome back.

I am finally dabbling in 1911's and missed your posts on all things JMB.

No doubt a fine setup.

On the other hand, Wilson makes the standard 47, a full size 7 rounder (which of course, could be the mag in the gun pictured). They also offer the 47 HD/+P mag http://shopwilsoncombat.com/1911-Mag...info/47C%2DHV/
