1911 holster goodness from P-F members. I need a fun time range trip so I have a reason to put these things to use!
My well worn STI 45. Parts gun with SA slide, KART Match barrel, Briley bushing, recently added Warren sights.
"When the phone rang, Parker was in the garage, killing a man."
So per request, more pics. I bought this STI 2011 45 about 10 years ago off the Brian Enos forum - do not remember who but think it was active industry insider. No idea who built it but is seems to be a limited edition with a "vanity serial number". It was a package deal with multiple magazines - some STI some SV, some 10, 12, 14. It was worn when I got it and a previous owner apparently coated it with some type of spray on finish that did not wear well. No idea about round count - a bunch. I have put a few thousand through it - all 200 SWC over Clays or Bullseye. It is very accurate - most accurate pistol I own (no, I do not have any measured groups at 50 yards etc.). It has a ramped KART barrel with a Briley bushing barrel with a replaceable bushing insert. Very nice trigger - do not have a trigger gauge. It came with an "Infantry Blue" aka light blue STI grip but I replaced with a black STI Grip. Came with Novak "half moon" rear sight and an XS big dot front sight - I upgraded to Warrens with black front blade. Only issue is sometimes does not lock back on empty mag - I replaced followers and that seemed to fix it - may swap mag springs soon. I have a Para P14 and P16 that I used for USPSA Limited - always wanted an STI and bought this when I got the chance. It is "ugly" but frankly I like it as I just shoot the heck out of it and never worry about cosmetics.

Love, love that classic two tone look! I can't make out the words by the muzzle, who did that pistol?
