Complete and utter boredom

[shorton]

So here I am, sitting on a barge, off the coast of Brasil, pondering the origin of " goat cheese ". Suddenly it occurs to me that I would look absolutely badass with a small frame 1911 that is color case hardened on bottom, then the slide blued and polished til you can see it from space! Actually i just saw a picture and thought it was cool, but none the less. Buy moderately cheap and it make look expensive, or sell body parts and children for the ultimate gun?

Uh, ok. Welcome to the forum.

What!? I'm sitting on the same barge, in the same room… No mention of goat cheese was made to my knowledge….. I feel cheated as I have been left out of a quest for answers that seem to be more meaningful than the supposed attempted "work" around here…

oh yeah… the pistol… I say buy something well used and go from there when it comes to a project like that, but you already knew that.

I think I've seen a 1911 similar to what you describe. If Traxxis is listening he may have a picture.

That's what I was thinking.

Actually I saw a picture of a slide done by Franson Firearms on the website and it looked fantastic. I had been discussing color case hardening with my cousin who is also on this forum, so we looked it up and it just looks phenominal on the 1911. My thing is, I don't want to take my 1911 that has a lifetime warranty and void that by modifying it. I am always up for buying another gun, so what I was thinking about was either buying a used gun, or one that doesn't have a lifetime warranty and modifying that one. I am thinking of a small frame 1911 for a carry gun anyway, and who says your carry gun can't look good? Any suggestions on the gun? I like the brand names as much as anyone, although I think a lot of times you are just paying for the name.

CCH and super high polish blue are high dollar finishes if done right. I wouldn't have it done on a cheap gun, I'd at least start with a quality base.

[shorton]

when I say cheap I don't necesarily mean cheap quality, maybe just a good gun that someone hasn't taken care of or maybe the finish is worn away.

Why are y'all eating fetas cheese? Someone will be mad...

With the whole lifetime warranty thing, every reputable 1911 manufacturer has a lifetime warranty. Even well used guns will retain their warranty unless they have had a certain level of frankensmithing done to it or had been abused abnormally.

I read that Oly Arms produces guns that come CCHed but their warranty is only a year. Ppl speak highly of their 1911s but they are produced slowly, the wait list it lonnng and it will probably cost you around a grand.

You guys should google "1911 color case hardened", that gun pron gave me the heebie jeebies!

Sounds like quite a barge. Is it hauling Cheetos?

Buy a Springfield TRP, have it finished the way you want and call it good.
