Wife took my favorite 1911, so I got a new one!

The Classic Custom I had (1988 build if I remember correct) was an amazingly well built, great running and accurate gun. Out of all of the govt sized 1911’s I’ve had in .45 it was my favorite. I really messed up, getting rid of it recently. That’s it in the pic behind the K9. I am already keeping my eyes open to find another. I should not have sold it!

Darn, that's a good looking pistol. I have to agree that you "really messed, getting rid of it recently" Hopefully, another, in just as nice condition, will come your way.
If it's any solace, the above makes me double determined to keep my Classic Custom Target.


The new grips look good on your Springer

FWIW, the magazines that work best in my 9mm 1911 are Metalform 9FR-794

Thanks for the kind words. Your target version is a beaut! I am becoming a big fan of the target rear sights. I know some don’t care for them, but I’m not sure why. They sure do make me more accurate!
I’m already hunting for another locally. I have seen one, but it has a bit too much “honest” wear for the price. That one I had was about 97-98% if you ask me. Plus, the local one for sale has that plum finish on the slide.
