Personality and style definitions exist in guns too. If a gun does not fit the style or personality the owner aspires it to, they can have it changed. The requirement shall be that the owner has a clear image of such a version. Experts whose speciality is colt 1911 customization are numerous. These professionals may remodel the weapon as along as changes maintain safety and feasibility.

Most customers choose to make changes on their firearms for better targeting, personal defence, carrying, hunting, plinking, war, presentation, adoration or simply collection. Gun customization centres on three fundamental premises. These include beautification, accuracy and reliability. The foremost gunsmiths aim at finding the perfect balance from these. Where guns and their uses feature function reigns supreme over form or form becomes useless.

The Army and Air Force wings of the US military commissioned the initial modifications upon the colt 1911. They intended to get better performance at war competitions for their own teams. All the other developments in this regard arise from this first customization with the intention of obtaining more accuracy and weapon reliability.

The activity is two pronged. First is making a firearm accurate while making it friendly in the hands of a shooter comes second. If an accurate gun is hard for its shooter to make a shot with then it will not give peak performance for such a shooter. Addressing this kind of problem is what customization is about. Guns are required to have sights that allow good and repeatable picture sights. The trigger pull has to be light. The reason is that heavy trigger pull moves sight jumps from targets on squeezing of the trigger. The firearms ergonomics must not be painful or increase shooter fatigue with consequential shooting.

Addition of accessories appearing on various media and magazines is usually feasible within the process of customization. Two categories feature here. It is either integrated to the firearm or an extension. Examples include rubber grips added on and gun stippling or checkering. A challenge to this is that an accentuated grip may impede shooting for small-handed shooters.

Getting mechanical accuracy is a much easier concept for the gunsmiths. With the sole objective of making a gun function properly, a gunsmith has to make the firearm make a shot from the same place mechanically each time the shooter squeezes the trigger. If the barrel is undamaged, attaining accuracy becomes the least complicated area here. In time, high quality sights have evolved; better triggers have come up as well as superior lock up barrel systems. Most of these have trickled down to the current carry guns, which are versions of the customized full size 1911.

Accuracy, at its most basic form, refers to the performance of the same thing every time. Making a gun accurate means it does this leaving any anomalies in the hands of the shooter. Having achieved this, the challenge proceeds to ensuring a shooter perfects their shooting to an art.

The industry in this field has changed drastically centring on evolution and not revolution. Better optics, electronics, finishes, new alloys and CNC machines in their entirety have brought changes to operations. A popular restyling form revolves on finishing. Digitized finishes and colours such as Digital Desert Sand Camouflage enables environment blending for such weapons. However, the US military maintain their lead in as far as customization goes. Combat situations will not let them take chances.
