firestorm 45 govt????

[col.klink]

Ok so I'm gonna try to make a long story short......a few months ago my buddy owed me 150 bucks and he ended up giving me a eaa windicator a blued6 shot 357 snub nose. So after the transfer I got 165 in the revolver. Its currently my edc, but before that I carried a para ltc1911 and I since traded it and have wanted a 1911 ever since. Well my uncle has a firestorm 45 govt 2 tone (I know its not a true 1911) but he wants to trade even up for that 357 so I'd technically have 180 in the firestorm. So I basically want to know if the internals, grip saftey,thumb saftey are interchangeable with regular1911 parts and if they're reliable? It appears to have a stainless steel frame can anyone verify that? Are firestorm frames any good? Would lets say a caspian slide fit on it? Thanks for any input!

If it's a Firestorm/American Classic II 1911, then it is a true 1911, and the parts will swap out like any other 1911. Is it Government or Commander sized?

Government full size

It's probably a real 1911. Take a look here and see if it's what you have:

Mine aint any of them 4 but I dont think its a real 1911 because it does not have grip screw bushings and it looks like the placement of the holes is wrong

Mine has a shiny frame I think its stainless and a blued slide it has go sights front and rear serations extended slide catch beaver tail grip saftey and a skeletonized hammer

Sounds like it is an older .45 made by Llama. Not a true 1911 as far as parts interchangeability and reliability goes.
The Firestorm name was acquired by Metro Arms in the last couple years.
