Calling All 1911's

[Hworth18]

2011's allowed, or does that get me a beat down?

Double stack 1911, go for it!!!

The .gov inflation calculator says that a colt delta elete for $400 back in 1992 should cost $792 today!

I'll take it... Make it an even $800. Where should I pick it up?

I’ve always liked full rail Springfield Operators. This is a Mil-Spec version that I’ve slowly been swapping parts on. Recently, put in new fire control parts (Apex hammer, EGW sear and disconnector), and a 10-8 Flat trigger. Previous changes were a Smith&Alexander flat checkered mainspring housing to replace the ILS unit, a EGW HD extended magazine catch, 10-8 rear sight. Grips are Simonich Gunner grips that came from Strider Knives.
The next modifications will be a new extractor, firing pin stop, and slide stop. It will mostly MIM free at that point.

Been too long since anyone posted a 1911 picture... Here are my latest:

CMP Service Grade. Got it in the 2nd go round last October. Took exactly 2 years from my application submission to get the call. Colt slide and Colt frame tho they're mismatched. It's in really good shape and shoots great. '43 production.

Other is a new Colt O1911C Classic. Nothing special other than it's a Colt 1911.

Keep your eyes out for the “correct” slide or frame for your CMP 1911.

I laughed. Cause it’s mostly true

HEY! As a 1911 guy I'm offended by that. I'm not salty...

I definitely turned a bare steel Caspian frame that color after a particularly hot summer trip to the range to test fire it.

Some people have unbelievably corrosive sweat.

Those are pretty much the same words my friend use when he looked at the frame.
