[QUOTE="okiebryan, post: 1745423, member: 24457"] I've learned a bit since I posted this. Apparently, Chris McCormick made a lot of high end 1911 parts. Competition grade stuff. This gun started life as a matched set, frame and slide (with McCormick grip safety and safety). The trigger set is McCormick, the barrel is Kart. The frame and slide sets were offered for about 2 years back in the early 90s. The Chip McCormick Corp was owned by Tripp Research, or Virgil Tripp. After being sold several times, the company is now STI International. I was also told that Chip helped get Kimber off the ground. I don't know whether this is true. If it is, this gun might be something of an ancestor to the Kimber 1911 of today. At any rate, it seems to be a neat little conversation piece. Had the slide off earlier, and there looks to be zero wear on the rails, slide or hammer. This thing hasn't been fired much at all. The parkerized finished is in really good shape. Does anyone else have any information they could share? I'm really getting interested in the history of this thing.
