It's a plain jane Commander with some mods but for the price I think I did pretty well and I'll finally have an iconic 1911! I cannot believe I was the only bidder - hope the rest of the gun world doesn't know something that I don't :D

Zane and I are already talking grips and I cannot wait for it to get to Miami! The FFL paperwork is squared away and I'm told it ships USPS tomorrow!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you ... now I'm REALLY done buying guns for a while!!!

I cannot do it anytime soon but I've been looking at the services offered by Robar ... I'm thinking about a NP3 Plus finish, a beavertail and solid trigger ;)

I'd say consider a Severns Custom "HardHat" finish.... have him fit a beavertail and install the solid trigger... but have him install a stainless sear while he's got it. Trigger to 3.5 pounds and you'll really be happy!

Thanks, the black finish looks great! Do you have experience with their work, is he/are they part of the COTEP family?
