Thread: "This old gun" question: anyone know anything about this Argentine 1911?

  1. #21
    Are Sistemas 100% parts compatible with 1911s?
    I keep thinking that they were not; am I getting them confused with Ballester-Molinas?

    ^^^What HCM said. It's the Ballerina-Molester that's only partially compatible.

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    Mine made it through about 4,000 rounds of mil-ball before the slide cracked...I don't know the round count before in landed in my hands.
