MGC Kimber swat custom

This is the MGC Kimber swat custom, well half of it. Anyone who has an MGC 1911 will know the barrels break real easy, so it came as a bit of a surprise when the barrel did not break but the slide broke in two whilst firing. This was some yrs ago and a new slide for this model is pretty impossible to source, so it now has a standard MGC 1911 slide, so its half a kimber swat custom.

As I said before barrels break real easy on MGC 1911's, so when I saw the Zeke aluminium barrels for sale I picked a couple up. This was again a good few yrs ago and I dont think they make them anymore, they were also very expensive about 16000 yen at the time, but no more broken barrels.

I used C-tec 45 rounds for this vid and they work well, they put less strain on the gun as they seem to be a milder kick than the old MGC 45 rounds, but that might be down to the C-Tec being aluminium and the MGC brass and a lot heavier.

I did have stoppages as you can see, a few were down to caps that just went pop rather than bang so no real blowback. But I think the mag caused problems as well as it failed to lock the slide back and got stuck in the grip, so I need to try another mag sometime.

Thank you for the video. I have really enjoyed it. The stoppages are strange tough, I had expected it to run better with the Zeke barrel and the C-tec rounds. Anyway I have never tried these myself.

I still like the good old Colt .45. I have to take my MGC M1991A1 Series 80 out ...
