Attach the slide just like the closed version, except now you need to position the barrel link so it lines up with the hole on the frame. You will have to tap it in with a mallet. Remember to use the 'barrel link to barrel' piece When inserting the barrel into the slide, the barrel will not go smoothly. I will be unable to complete the model the way I would like so the files I have completed are now available.įor the open slide option you should attach the barrel link before inserting the barrel into the slide. No sanding is required on any of the pieces. I edited the dimensions specific for this type of modeling. For reference, this was printed on a Dimension BST 1200es. For those of you who think they cannot handle the responsibility or plan on giving this to someone who cannot handle it or just have no need for a complicated replica, I have supplied a slide without a moving barrel. While no laws in the US prohibit having this model on your persons, there are multiple instances of people (especially children) being shot by police for waving around fake realistic weapons. If you do have the ability to print this, I Highly recommend using bright colors for the barrel or even the entire gun. I know that some companies that function like Shapeways are cracking down on the dangers of printing functioning firearms and may not allow you to print this file. If you plan to 3D print it, then you will most likely have to use your own.

I also had to change a few dimensions due to the 3D printer tolerance so if CNC'd it may not work together as well. The only moving parts are the safety lock, hammer, slide and barrel. Externally, the model is completely accurate with the exception of the slide stop. I did not use Rio's personal models Instead I used his drawings and made my own.

When I started this project, it was really just one of those things to see if it could be done. DISCLAIMER: I will not be held responsible for any damage done with this model. First off, I'd like to thank Rio Benson for making the absolutely amazing drawings of the 1911 which can be found here.
