Savage 1911 Rail Adapter prototype

by

Got myself a nice birthday present - stainless steel Savage 1911 automatic colt pistol.

Savage 1911 Stainless Steel + Tymbark Colove Cherry.
 SAVAGE 1911 GOVT STYLE STAINLESS kal. 45ACP

Initially I've wanted a very classic 1911, without any "tacticoolness", but after few shooting sessions, It struck me - what IF i want to mount flashlight on it, even if i don't carry it or use it in anything-but-perfect shooting range light conditions?

Gotta model some plastic cancer growth for it, obviously!

After some measurements, quick prototype was made:

3d project, of course in 3ds max
3d print project savage 1911 colt automatic pistol rail adapter
printed dummies for measurement adjustments

After getting an OK fit, some re-designing, details and adjustments were applied, so its snug and functional. As well possible to be milled on my friend's CNC, as I dont trust 3d printed plastic on .45 that much.

pretty happy with the design, allows for comfortable finger placement during gripping, lets print it!
And after several tweaks and a handfull

of prototypes, it became a thing that might have a potential. Here it is, mounted on the gun itself, not screwed in together yet (Waiting for proper screw lengths).
