As a matter of fact, I have one. Here she is:

Grrr....I'll post another right side up.


She was a great handgun right outta the box, both reliable and accurate. I like the Bobtail frame for EDC. She eats all the different ammo I've fed her no matter which company or bullet type. The fit and finish was spot on and I really like the Duty Treatment which holds up to use as advertised. She's a big hit at the range as most folks there have never shot .38 Super (or even a Wesson) before so she usually gets passed around. Have yet to have anyone unhappy with her performance. I purchase almost all my ammo online at GunBot....great selection at great prices, delivered right to my doorstep. Unlike what you often hear, ammo for it is neither hard to get or expensive (except, of course, for the typical match ammo brands).

Only made two mods. One was more grips but not because the factory grips were ugly or bad in the grip department but because I'm a grip guy who can't resist buying them. Bought a pair of VZs that were a little more grippy just in case I needed that and a pair of Esmeraldas cocobolo DDs because I love her cocobolos. Those are the grips that you see in the pict. The other is the replacement of the factory trigger. I have very short fingers so I replaced it with a Harrison Custom IonBond short trigger (also in the picture). It worked as advertised and I'm quite happy with it. As a matter of fact, I replaced all the factory triggers on all 12 1911s I own in my collection. 8 have the Harrison short triggers and 4 have the Dawson Custom short, flat trigger. These are on my competition guns so that finger placement on the face of the trigger is just one less thing to worry about. I do like the the short, curved triggers better, however, in terms of looks.
