Thanks,

I need to find a correct hammer for it though. It should have the course checkered example. Yours is sweet!

Those Valtro's were nice guns, had one, but like a fool sold it, probably the best out of the box 1911 I owned. Have not seen a new one for sale for a while.

I also have a super secret 1911 project that I have been keeping under wraps for the last year. More news in the next two weeks.

Hi Danny,

Right here in Kanada I had to put some correct parts on it to make it complete. I have a course US&S hammer on its way. I decided to keep it as I figured I will never get another one.

Yes welcome to the club! What a gorgeous example. Where did you find it I must ask?

The grips look great. I'm not a fan of your version of "stainless" though...

 

[micSarfati]

I Still have a bit of work to do to get some little black spots off, but other than that i liked the look of it with the black safety/trigger/slide stop, to each their own i guess

 

[Pocketfisherman]

Grips are cool. Just my .02 cents but stainless (home brew) 1911's are for posers. I would get that Norinco parkerized. Just my opinion no insult meant as it is your gun. Also if you leave it bare polished metal be prepared to oil it every 10 minutes to stop the rust.

Make sure you lube and oil it well...or it may rust faster than you think now that you've removed the bluing...I like it though....
