GORGEOUS! Does she shoot as good as she looks?
Just got to dance some cans across the desert floor so far.Quote:

But yes, it's a shooter :cool:
Update:
Close to 1000 rounds down the pipe.
Shot 200 Federal HST 230 JHPs this morning at the break of dawn.
Punched a ragged hole out of the bullseye :D
Functioned perfectly.
This thing is a winner!
Really like being able to disassemble with no tools.
And the factory slide release has that modification to push straight in with no idiot scratches :D
Only issue was the safety drew blood eating the web of my hand :mad:
Emailed Dan Wesson and they said there was nothing they could do to resolve that :mad:
Had my gunsmith fit a Wilson Combat Bullet Proof Tactical Safety.
Problem Solved :cool:
If I get a second 1911?
It will be a Wilson...

That's Colt's "Royal Blue". It's done with modern bluing salts, so I'd say the color is blue-black.Quote:

The "Royal Blue" polish was first done on the Python in 1955. It's available as a refinish option from Colt's Custom shop today.

Greg since I'm living vicariously through you.. Think you need to get a pair of those grips. Have got to be the best I've ever seen. Surely you have something you can put them on.. don't you? :behindsofa:
Not sure those are grips my style, but I do know I don't have any 1911's with that nice of finish. If I did the grips, I'd probably need to go ugly and put them on my EssexQuote:

Barth for those that possibly don't know, can you show the slide release mod so they can do it. I've done it on all mine
