Just got one in yesterday - a SIG 1911 C3 to replace the one stolen a couple of weeks ago. This is the picture of the old one but they're the same. Also will be ordering the Colt to replace a Loaded SA SS ultra Compact, also stolen. I haven't decided whether to replace the RIA nickel Tactical.
Wait! Jfootin does not have a stainless steel 1911 polished to a mirror finish?
Notables:
Kimber Custom II 1911 .45 ACP ("How sweet it is")
Kahr CM9 9mm - Trijicon night sights, Wolff 5# striker spring

Those are paper micarta grips from Cylinder and Slide. I don't see them on their website any more, but you can get something similar in G10 from VZ Grips: http://vzgrips.com/gun-grips/1911-pi...onds-black-g10
TucsonMTB,
That's a good looking Kimber you have there

I stand duly corrected by my work mates here. I guess Gerber is baby food, the carpet is Burbur or some such thing. Who knew. I do have a fine story about the carpet from my construction days. Maybe I'll post that over in the anything, holy crap, tomorrow is July anything goes day. I need more time, I'm not ready for July yet. ****(well dang, ok try) Richard Tracy, calling Go Go Gomez, stop the picture PULEEEZE!
Pima Pistol Club sounds pretty high class, I suspect it's the good stuff.
I've often wanted to buy a real basic cheap but solid base 1911 and build it a little at a time to acheive what I want. Just to accomplish like you said some shade tree gunsmithing skill on the 1911 platform.
I've had em apart but not adept enough at the tuning and correlation of parts to be very comfy inside one.
Fortunately my Cbob is about as close to perfect as I can imagine a 1911 being, although there are several others I'd like to call my own and play with. The Ruger, the Springer Rangemaster, the MRI, the list goes on and on and now they throw a HK P7 in my path to throw me off course.
