Looks great! No chance of that rusting.

Nice Colt^^^

Here's a crappy cell phone pic of my Wilson Combat CQB. Bought it new in '06 at P&D. Many-many-many thousands of 230 gr slugs over W231 later and it still looks and shoots like brand new. That Armor-Tuff finish is amazing! Needs new sights though, the Trijicon inserts are kaput:

Still looks like new.

 

[northlane1]

Wow , that Armor-Tuff has held up, looks great , is it Wilson Combats own finish they apply in house?

 

[armorman]

I believe it is their own finish....but I could be wrong. It's been holstered quite a bit too but in a leather rig. Ran my BB course with it a few years back and still do holster drills from time to time at the range. She's semi-retired now, duties have been relegated to more of a range and safe queen...hahaha. But in defense of other finishes I'd say the Armor Tuff wouldn't hold a candle to the finish that Glock uses on their slides.

Nice grips deadman; is the strategically-placed bottom stock screw intentional?

No, unfortunately it was necessary. Ruins an otherwise perfect image. To answer another question, they are made from lexan. The screws still need to be countersunk a bit but other than that I'm happy with how they turned out.

1 more 1911 to my collection, picked it up from a fellow CGN'er.

Picked up another one tonight, Kimber Super Carry Custom HD and again from a fellow CGN'er.

Way back on post #2522, just over a year ago, I put up a picture of my stock Ruger SR1911 and said "Looks and works great, no need to change it"

That was then...

...but this is now! I'm going to shoot some IPSC Classic Division with it so:

I fitted a bunch of Ed Brown guts -
-slide stop
-extractor
-mag well
-19lb mainspring
-extended oversize mag release
-ambi safety

Also added-
-STI titanium mainspring cap and hammer strut
-2.75lb trigger job (stock trigger group)
-EGW fiber optic front sight (green)
-14lb Wolff recoil spring
-VZ Operator II G10 grips with Super Scoop in Cherry colour
-deactivated grip safety
-a bit of skate tape to the front strap
-a stack of 15 Wilson Combat magazines

I tried to keep it looking as stock as possible because I think it's a handsome 1911 but I also wanted it to be ergonomic for IPSC and less likely to break than it would be with the stock MIM parts.

If I hadn't already had a stainless Ed Brown slide stop lying around I would have gotten the blued version to match the stock one.

Now I have a gun that is IPSC ready, looks sorta like the stock version, and has it's own Ziploc bag full of MIM spare parts!
How'd I do?

 

[Skinny 1950]

1943 Remington Rand...war time production, doesn't look like it saw any action in WWII or if it did it was well taken care of.
The blue tint is due to the LED lighting, need to take some pics at the range.

 

[gravel]

Nice unfinished example. These guns will do better then the Dow.

 

[red_star]

looks like the hammer, grips and front sights were not original to that gun, but it's nice though.

 

[jcbruno]

my only one, took it to the US and carried it, loved it. one day I may compliment it with a real colt.

[Trinimon]

My Springfield 1911 in 9mm. Tuned down to a 4lb trigger. Replaced the SA ILS mainspring housing for a standard one with a 19lb spring. I might pickup a magwell/mainspring kit but on the fence.

 

[yohann160]

Good show!

 

[MartyMorningwood]
