The quality of finish is su-
perb. All the parts are work-
ing clean and smooth. The
G10 grips are well-made,
comfortable and profiled
for better reach to mag-
azine release lever. The
checkered pattern on the
grips looks pretty psyche-
delic, but still great. Front
and back parts of the pistol
grip are serrated for better
grip. The gun lacks the lan-
yard loop in the bottom part
and the beaver tails is more
extended to the back than
in legacy gun.
SVRN PAC911 features
lightweight skeletonized
hammer and mag release,
safety switch and slide re-
lease mimic the ones from
Colt M1911A1. Additional
safety switch was placed
on the right side of the
frame. Slide features addi-
1100 grams and 6-incher
is 1170 grams.
The PAC911 design fol-
lows the legacy layout
of M1911A1, except a
change of the front part
of the slide and the re-
coil spring rod. The bar-
rel bushing was removed,
which does not inflict on
shooting but does inflict
on the gun disassembly
procedure. The SVRN
PAC911 requires Allen key
to remove the barrel (front
part of spring rod must be
removed). The rod itself
is twice than in M1911A1
and it does not have the
barrel bushing. The recoil
spring assembly features
four parts (two parts of
guide). IMHO, the legacy
"forty-five" is easier to dis-
assemble.
