How does it feel to own THE FINEST Turkish made 1911 ever created?
(That's kind of like being the best looking guy in the Physics Department)
Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.

It's a Beater pistol. A turd I polished. Still less than $350 tied up in it. But it's been fun so far.
I have to pay to get the new front sight staked on, as I don't have a staking tool. But that will be the last expense.

No doubt, have fun with it.
Did you ever get the skeletonized trigger you asked about? I'll contribute.

Whew ! With that red stuff, thought you mighta pistol whipped someone for making fun of your gun.Soooo, time for an update.
I finagled a free refinishing through my buddy Jeff. He has friends at IA Coatings in Houston. I requested a simple black finish for the beater.
He took it upon himself to "expand upon my request". And since he was getting me the hook up, he tops some "artistic license"... it has been out of my hands for over a month.
So, I open the box, and see exactly what I requested...
I flip it over...
Sooooo, the thought was, since it was beater pistol that was born again, its new and shinny on one side, and old and distress on the other.
The logo... a Bunny. My nickname is bunny, so the shop added a rabbit to the front.
I was taken aback at first, but it's growing on me, and it's a nice job on the finish, smooth and even.
It will soon be assembled. Will post more when I get it out together.

No, it's the stock turkey trigger... any donations you care to make are still able to go on!
If you decide to chip in, shoot me a PM.
Thanks!

Or just shorten it to Harvey.
Assembled! Well, no sights installed, waiting on a staking tool...
The look is starling to grow on me. The black grip safety did not want to work for some reason. Like, at all. Borrowed a friends spare SS grip safety and the gun ran great! Surprisingly accurate for a gun with not sights.

Test fire. A little over 5 yards. Considering no sights, I thought I did well..
(Side note: Some of the rounds on the bottom of the target in the photo?? S&W factory rep showed up with the new mid size M&P. I was very impressed with the size and trigger. VERY. The .40 was kind of a handful, but the 9 was just the all around best M&P I have never fired... it's almost identical in size to a Glock 19. The Rep said they joked about naming it the 1.9 instead of the 2.0)

That's pretty slick. I like the looks of it. Makes me want to go buy a used RIA to screw around with before I go and buy something nicer.
