This is NOT a photograph, apparently

If that is a photochop image then the guy must have spent a lot more time getting the look then it would have taken to cut away a real gun in the machine shop! ! ! !

We don't seem to see this sort of thing as much anymore but at one time folks were cutting away all manner of stuff from aero engines and turbines to coffee makers to use as technology/advertising displays. So I'm sure Colt would have produced a few such demonstrators as well. And if you think about it this would be a slam dunk natural idea to have for an armorer's course in the US military. So again I'd be surprised if there are not quite a few such cutaway 1911's out there for just that reason regardless of the truth or "fiction" about this particular image.

Nope, its still under the slide. Look at the chambered round, centerline it in your mind and go back...the slide isn't cut that far in. I was wondering how the ejector was being held, then I saw the back of the slide is un-cut.

Still not sure, I am not referencing the firing pin retainer, but the dis connector, it should be visible at the bottom of the sear in contact with the rear of the trigger bow, at the top it would project into the disconnector notch on the bottom of the slide, but the cutaway does not reveal that location. Would like to see another angle on it, but I don't suppose it was generated as a hologram.

I know what you're saying, the disconnector isn't visible at this provided angle. I'd buy one for desk display as well;) {not entirely sure how it would be received though!?:)}
 
Hey! Why not? When sliced up like that there's certainly no fear of it being an operational firearm. It's transcended to the status of Art. Just make up some oddball Art like bushwa about it being a colloquialism parallel on modern man's inhumanity towards the environment or some other crap that the artsy liberals will soak up and nod knowingly when they really have no idea what you're talking about..... which is pretty much the same thing with most of the last century's art that we see in any big art museum these days.......
