I see that pistol all over the internet, and I always say 'There's New Yawk'!
Gorgeous 1911!
Checkering is fine but the next class I take I'm bringing a smooth frontstrap gun. My office worker hands were pretty smoked on the second day of shooting 25 lpi checkering.
Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.
Picked it up today. Popped it open to take a look, looks exactly like it did last time I saw it.
I forgot this pistol had a 19lb mainspring in it. That's not my style but I think Rob put it in there so I left it. The hammer, sear, and disco are the USMC parts and have the indenter marks from hardness testing. Trigger is luscious!
I finally joined the 2-tone club, which is a requirement for all 1911 guys over 50. Mid 1980s Colt Combat Elite worked over by Wilson.
Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.
That is sexy.
Nuthin' says luvin' like blued over hard chrome with rosewood grips!
