The pictures are off the Gun Broker page. No more 1911s for this year.

Best wishes.

That Colt is Beautiful...Great Find......But please shoot it and enjoy it...you can "crown it Later" and put into the "Tower" where it it wait for the next walk in the park
I Love Colts even if they are Cowboy Guns, but yours is a Special 1911..... Hay, you could join us for "Wild Bunch" in the Cowboy section.
You can finish your project with a "Special set of Grips" from
www.handmadegrips.com they did the grips for my Colt 45 (See Wheel Gun section)

Anyway just enjoy!

Thanks Gary,

That Colt Project is "finished" with a beautiful set of Ironwood Grips from Our Own dsparkie. I have finished a Colt Commander and a Fusion Longslide in 10mm since. I did look at the website and they are nice looking grips.

Best wishes,

You could do a lot worse than a "gct" in stainless. I like mine. Best wishes.
