LTW (http://www.louderthanwords.us),
short for Actions Speak Louder Than Words, is a
consortium of custom shops from around the country who
specialize in the 1911 pistol. We collaborate 2-3 times
a year on a custom gun, raffle it off, and donate the
proceeds to a selected charity. We are proud to announce
that our first project for 2007 will be for the benefit
of
AmericanSnipers.org!
The package consists of much more than a custom pistol,
but let's start with that. The pistol is being
custom-built very much to a sniper theme, as if it
were going to be employed on the front lines by one of
AmericanSnipers.org's own. The base pistol was a
Springfield Mil-Spec, a perfect, quality
foundation for any custom pistol. This one actually was
provided as a "special" for this raffle by the
Springfield Custom Shop, meaning that the frame and
slide were factory-fitted to a level appropriate
for a duty gun, that is, not target-tight but precise
and rattle-free. From this rock-solid baseline, the
pistol is making its way through some of the finest
custom 1911 shops in the country, each one not
just "adding special touches", but effecting real,
duty-oriented modifications to ensure perfect
reliability, enhanced handling and durability, and
accuracy.
