Found this old girl in the safe tonight, I forgot I even had it! I think I bought it because it had a set of WW1-era DD stocks on it, paid about what they were worth for the whole thing. Maybe I shouldn't say that, I think I bought it on CGN.
It is a pretty clean pistol, smooth and the trigger breaks at just under 3.5 lbs. It has the original S70 bushing but a straight msh (which I prefer) and Wilson rear and unknown front sight. I like the front but should swap in a simpler no-snag rear. Never fired it, but just might have to now that I found it. It just got put in the safe and forgotten after I swapped the wood.
It has an "SM" serial number, so either started life as an Ace or was one of the oddball .45s done with an Ace frame. Might do a switcheroo with another pistol I have, a proper .45 S70-marked frame fitted to a .22 conversion unit.

Those sights take me back...that looks like a matched set of old Wilsons. I mean not way back in the deeps of time, but maybe twenty years ago is about when I remember those being the hot sights to own. You'd get a gunsmith to stake the front in and half the time it was brazed as well.
If you were somebody you'd put them on a Colt Series 70, have the barrel throated for hollowpoints, put in a commander hammer and maybe try to get a beavertail on. That was the total gunfighter package when I was a teenager to maybe 20. Glocks were still unreliable and if you wanted to shoot europellets you bought a Smith and Wesson wondernine.
God damn it

20 years ago I was 20, I owned no firearms other than a Cooey 64B and a win 94 my granpa gave me. I wouldn't have known S70 from Shinola. Still don't really, but I'm trying. Rear sight available if you're feeling nostalgic, I still prefer a basic GI type sight. Can't give you the front though, looks like the slide was worked on a bit to fit it. Gonna leave that one alone and just match a rear to suit.

Oh, I'm probably going to get a little heat for posting a .22 here, but for the record, I do own 3 other 1911s in .45a

Just a quicky cell phone pic of my 2 Norc 1911's.
Left - NP29 9mm
Right - Sport .45
Cold Steel GI Tanto blade.
The 9mm is stock, the .45 I've polished every surface where parts move, replaced all the springs, pachmyr signature grips, wilson combat mag flare, hammer, trigger and extractor are factory for now.....
Very easy to get carried away just tinkering away with these guns.

I was playing with reflections on a dark sheet and a piece of glass. I did a few in this series, but this one is of my engraved 1911. I changed the grips, so they are not original. Canon 6D, EF100mm f/2.8l IS USM Macro

Thanks, I just posted two pictures in the revolver pics as well. Same deal, different guns.
