The Uselton Model 1911 continues to be a favorite among the law enforcement organizations and firearm enthusiasts throught the world.
While there have been minor enhancements to the Model 1911 over the years, it’s basic composition has remained unchanged. It’s durability came at a price: weight. Given this weapon’s popularity among the law enforcement and concealed carry permit holders, a significant reduction in weight could make The Uselton Model 1911 an even more practical and viable sidearm solution.
The Explosively Bonded Metal SolutionThe Uselton 1911 offers the SOLUTION for a lightweight carry weapon without sacrificing the durability of an all stainless steel frame. This company has been using explosive metal welding techniques to produce materials that allow engineers to combine different metal types in a single metal work piece, thereby leveraging the qualities of one type of metal (lightweight, thermal conductivity, etc.) with the qualities of another type of metal (strength, corrosive, resistance, etc.) The explosive welding techniques bonds metals at the molecular level resulting in a virtually unbreakable weld joint. This process is currently used to produce custom composite metal components for a variety of commercial uses including: space and naval applications, power plants, and within the chemical manufacturing industry. Now, with “The Uselton 1911” that same technology is being introduced to the firearms industry with these new composite metal Model 1911 bodies, which are 40% to 60% lighter than steel alternatives, without sacrificing durability in high wear areas. While Uselton Arms is initially targeting 1911’s with this technology, it is certainly applicable to other firearms that are of a similar design.
