Kensight Elliason rear sight...perfect for older Colts...
Written on Sep 13, 2026
I have an original Colt .38 Special Mid-Range slide and barrel that was missing the rear sight. The Kensight Elliason is a perfect fit for the original...exact fit and performance.

Outstanding amidextrous safety…
Written on Jul 12, 2026
The Wilson Combat stainless ambidextrous 1911 thumb safety looks and functions great. It took a bit of fitting but that’s to be expected in a 1911 pistol. Fast shipping by Optics Planet as well.

Wilson Combat Hammer Strut
The Wilson Combat hammer strut fits exactly and works properly. It’s hard to beat Wilson Combat 1911 parts. Optics Planet shipped it quickly as well.

Quality Bomar type sight...highly recommended...
Written on Jun 26, 2026
I've used several of these Bomar type sights from Kensight...excellent quality and performance. I build 1911 pistols as a hobby and have used a number of these sights and other model Kensight sights...both fixed and adjustable. All have been outstanding.

Fantastic 1911 trigger for the DIY’er…

Nighthawk Custom Drop-In Trigger System
This Nighthawk Drop-in trigger is one of the best modifications one can to for a 1911. While not inexpensive it’s very cost effective compared to paying a gunsmith to do an action job. The quality is excellent and performance is on a par with the best professional gunsmith job.

Wilson Combat drop-in match barrel...
Written on Oct 04, 2025
The Wilson Combat match barrel is one of the finest 1911 barrels I've used. It's not exactly drop-in...depending on the individual pistol. It did take some very minor fitting for the pistol I used it in. Some pistols it might just drop-in depending on the manufacturing tolerances. It's an excellent addition to any pistol.

Outstanding sight combination...
Written on Aug 03, 2025
This Kensight sight combination is fantastic...very visible...adjustable and looks great. It works fine on a 1911 pistol...it takes a bit of fitting but most everything on a 1911 does. You won't be unhappy with this sight combo.

Ed Brown Products 1911 SS Extended Ejector
This Ed Brown ejector is of outstanding quality. It took just a bit of fitting but not much. YMMV with that as the 1911 is not really a drop-in and go pistol. The price from Optics Planet was fair and reasonable and the service was fast.

Fusion Firearms .38 Super barrel...

Review for
Fusion Firearms UMG Barrels, Gov
Super nice barrel...tool almost no fitting in a 1911 pistol I built. The price was more than reasonable (a closeout from Optics Planet)...far less than from Fusion themselves. Fusion products have proven to be excellent quality for my builds and Optics Planet is a first rate vendor.

Nighthawk Drop-in Trigger System gets a thumbs up!...
Written on Jun 14, 2025
Review for
Nighthawk Custom Drop-In Trigger System
These are great trigger modules (for lack of a better term) for any 1911 build! I've done several thus far and...while not inexpensive up front...are a huge time saver and give superior results. Rather than spend time filing and fitting the sear and hammer hooks just insert this and get an instant 3.5-4.0 lb trigger with a clean break. You still have to fit the grip and thumb safeties but that would be necessary anyway. Nighthawk's trigger system is as foolproof a product as there can be for a trigger job. Comparing this to hiring a gunsmith to do a traditional trigger job would likely be a wash cost-wise. Even if you do your own trigger jobs this is a huge time saver with equal or better results. I have about ten of these kits just waiting for planned future 1911 builds as they're often out of stock at many parts sellers.
