Oh, I believe it. (Heck, most folks have no idea how much time just a basic job like hand-checkering a frontstrap takes.)

That square triggerguard goes well with the longslide. Schweet gat!

Dude, I say go for it... but do it with the understanding that 1911s are a study field in and of themselves. I don't know a fraction what Jason does and still managed to talk Caleb's ear off on the...

It's the little things like that that show that the dude who screwed the gun together cared about doing things right. :)

Sadly not mine.

Hoag/Auto Shop longslide. A friend let me borrow it for a couple weeks, which... I'm not gonna lie, it's a rare gun that I'll just sit there and contemplate for the better part of...

Because few things are a PhD sheepskin in Gun Nerd like a Coonan, that's why. :D

(On the same note, I was actually looking at an IAR Grizzly in .45 Win Mag at the fun show today. It sure was neat....

Me, too. Obviously this doesn't apply to you, then.

Make sure you keep an eye on the tack welds on your mag floorplates!

My current favorite is "Point it at something you don't like and pull the trigger." :D

Welcome.

(I also really like the spurless hammer for the incredible scope in smart-arse responses it offers for when people ask "Well, how do you de-cock it?" :D )

The gun on the far left is an Argentine Sistema from the last batch that came through what's-their-faces in Louisiana, the ones that raised a stink because they'd been advertised as "NRA Very Good"...

Officer's-size guns are more reliable than generally given credit for, although even the good ones eat recoil springs like popcorn.

It's the sub-Officer's 3" guns like the Kimber Ultra and...

A Springfield V-10 from back before I knew better than to buy bitty little chopped-down "1911s". STI trigger, Wilson beavertail (kinda mandatory on a factory Springer because of the contour on...

I'll note here that, once I'd gone to carrying 1911s every day, pictures of 1911s with the hammer down started to look weird. ;)


:D

Heh. You'll need to put on asbestos gloves and snap it up out of the burning longship when they shove my flaming carcass out to sea. ;)

Colt Series 80 Enhanced in .38 Super with much the same mods as the Delta Elite above. Except for the sights... Much as I hate the "surface-mount" Novaks, I hate grinding on and rebluing a...

Since everybody's doing it now...

Baer Concept III and "P-stamp" Sebenza.

Delta Elite with a bit of work. Novak night sights, STI trigger, Brown Hardcore lockwork, some other...

The Coal Creek Armory custom 1911 I took to AFHF in 2010:

I did pretty good on walk-back drills in that class. I may be a mediocre shot, but a pistol that will shoot under an inch at 25...

Hot and cold running FP-10.

A Porsche 911 GT3 isn't cheap, either, relegating it to the hands of the few. What's your point?

Anyhow, gotta go clean my Springfield Professional. You know how those finicky match-grade 1911s...
