The cutting of the trigger channel in the frame, It took me hours of hand filing to get what I wanted in fit and the slide stop could have been better but was ok. On the quality aspects, there were only two things that I thought could have been better. I will say that Walt and the support staff were responsive and treated me very well. In other post I have read, Caspian quality and customer support has been less than desirable. I had so much fun doing this I may sell the AXi to fund two more builds. It is now my primary gun and cost me half as much as my AXi which is now my back up. I completed my final testing yesterday and have a very nice gun that will hold Xring at 50 yards with 4.3g BE behind 185g Zero SSWCHPs. I took my time and hand fit all parts slowly and meticulously.

After reading these posts, I ordered all the different parts that I like and built the gun on a Caspian frame and slide and Kart Exact fit in. I have over the years wanted to build my own wad gun with all the parts that I like. In other words there are tradeoffs that are made during a build to get it just right for each pistol being built. Experience is what you’re paying a pistolsmith for! Their experience is what they base every portion of the barrel fitting process on no two are alike. So a true oversized match barrel (Kart, KKM, Barsto) lets the pistolsmith compensate for the differences from pistol to pistol. I probably didn’t make many friends saying that but I’ve seen a ton of custom pistols in my time and I know what’s out there.

There probably aren’t 10 builders in the country that really understand how to fit a barrel for a bullseye pistol. But the barrel fit is what governs a quality BE pistol. With today’s CNC quality parts I believe anyone could throw together a 1911. So I’m not trying to knock the KXF, I’m only pointing out what you’re really getting. That’s why 99% of BE pistolsmiths will not use them for a build. Nowlin barrels have a pre-fit upper barrel lug. In my opinion the upper barrel lug fit is absolutely crucial to building a BE pistol that will really be a shooter less recoil and consistent lock up. A Caspian frame and slide with minimal vertical play would probably work out fairly decent because the dimension is shorter than what I’ve already described.

If you have a 1911 with lots of vertical frame to slide play then you’re in the same ball park.

So you would have minimal lock up/engagement with the upper lugs. The KXF would probably drop in and be loose in other words you couldn’t fit the upper lugs. SA Custom shop pistols have an extremely long dimension here. So the dimension from the top of the slidestop pin to the radius of the slide locking lugs is what governs the fit. The bottom barrel lugs are pre-fit and has a correct barrel link for those pre-fit lugs. The KXF is designed so you fit the hood to the slide and then fit the upper lug tabs to the slide locking lugs. 1911 dimensions are all over the place when it comes to barrel fitting. So I thought I’d throw my 2 cents out there. I was questioned about the Kart XACT Fit (KXF) Barrel.
