"Quality has no regrets" has been our motto from day one at Pilkington Competition.  We now extend that offer into the 1911 competition pistol world and offer the finest accurized 1911 on the planet. It is not cheap, but it’s the best there is.  It will shoot better than anything else out there and it will maintain that accuracy without needing rebuilt every few years.  Typical groups out of a Ransom Rest will be 1 3/4s inch group or less. The the gun will actually shoot better than that for two reasons. First, any gun’s  potential accuracy will improve with the first 500 rounds as the barrel smooths out.   Second, because the 1911 is a recoil operated action,  where the slide and barrel operates independent of the frame,  it is impossible to measure  true accuracy with a Ransom Rest or other similar systems because  the  Accu-lock  lockup is between the sights and barrel inside the slide and not dependent on the constantly moving (and wearing!) slide rail fit as in most other accurazation processes.  The gun will always shoot better out of the hand because the sight picture is a truer constant than the slide to frame rail fit that is the determining factor from a 1911 style gun when shot from a Ransom Rest.

We will offer this gun with a normal stipple grip or handcut checkering. Triggers will normally be glass rod breaking crisp. If you want a buttersmooth roll trigger, that can be done too. Case lots of ammo matched to the gun are available as well.  Guns are sold through Pilkington Competiton on a limited basis for those not wishing to wait the 2 -3 months for a normal production gun. Please feel free to visit the Accu-Lock page as well.

Here the slide stop pin is fully up into the locked position, forcing the barrel locking lugs into the slide lugs. Notice that the front of slide, which is solid with the barrel and the front sight, is locked firmly into place with the Accu-lock teeth. This mechanical lock-up by its very nature, will not wear out its precision fit, unlike traditionally accurized guns using a fitted barrel and fitted barrel bushing which will begin to wear almost immediately and may need to be redone every season to maintain top accuracy.
