Product Information

A unique, patent-pending modification to your Government Model frame that transforms it into a Round-Butt handgun.

This not only reduces the weight, but drastically increases comfort and concealment during carry. Requires fitting and installation by quailified gunsmith.

Technical Information

Features:
  • A unique, patent-pending modification to your Government Model frame that transforms it into a Round-Butt pistol. It consists of a specially manufactured housing and frame modification. The Bobtail removes a full ?" of excess metal from the bottom rear of the gun, where the mainspring housing pin is located. This not only reduces the weight, but solves two well- known problems of carrying a 1911. First, it drastically increases comfort during carry. There is no sharp butt to poke you in the ribs. Second, it increases concealment during carry, because the hardest thing to conceal on a 1911 style pistol has always been the sharp, projecting butt.

    Gunsmithing Required: Yes

    Notes: Recommend Bobtail installation Jig 259-442
