Nice VZ Grips on even nicer pistols!

I hate you. Remington doesn't make one that small, so I can't compete lol. And the don't make a double stack so I can't go bigger.
Wish I liked the Commander size, looks so strange to me. But yeah I'd want a matching set for sure.
Ben, Remington sucks, why would they make a 4"? This is the company that charges $900 for a gun that "competes" with the SR1911. LOL

I'm talking about the Enhanced R1. And yeah I CC a XDs, so what? You're the one looking for a G30s/SF ![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")

Hey now... I really like my R1 Enhanced! It's really a sweet shooter.
They're gorgeous, I wish they could come down to the SR price though...
I see a SR1911 and 2 Smiths, what's the top 1911, 2nd one in? Solid collection you have there.
Finally got proper bushings and screws for my new ETC grips from VZ Grips.
For anyone who hasn't done this before, removing bushings can be a frustrating experience!

Started with a flathead, which promptly tore up the soft metal of the bushings. They seem to have some kind of brownish red loctite on them from the Ruger factory.

Here you go. Y'all are gonna be impressed with my newest 1911. Double stack, 20 round magazine... yeah, it's a 6mm.
Yes, that is an orange tip. [sad2] I never ever thought I would buy an Airsoft, but this is a full metal, gas blowback, full 1911 size.
All the controls work like the real thing, and it even has a nice crisp single action trigger. Ambi safety is a little soft for my tastes. Perfect for practicing grip, draw, aim, fire without going to the range. Much cheaper to feed, too!
"Ignite" brand "Black Ops", eighty bucks at Wally World.
Edit to add: the weight is pretty close to the real thing, but the balance is just a bit off because most of the weight is in the magazine. And, it's surprisingly loud... really caught me by surprise.
I don't know how long each CO2 cartridge lasts. I've only gone through two magazines. It will shred an aluminum beverage can at 15 feet.

A couple of small scores today; an original pinned two-tone .45acp magazine ($40) - early Springfield I think as it is non-keyhole - and an original B&B, inc., 1942 mag pouch ($30), to complete my 1917 M1911 rig. Trying to find out the company name for B&B.

bad news, red locktite is the permenant one.
probably going to have to drill them out and re-tap the holes
I was finally successful with a little luck and a lot of determination (and vise grips). I did read on 1911forum.com that a heat gun might have made my life easier, too, but I hope never to have need to do that again!
Here's my S&W 1911PD
Still looks awesome here!!
What are the odds............met someone to sell a rifle at my local FFL and while I was there look what came in 
I have been looking for one of these for 4 years and now picked up 2 in the last month!

Very nice. Did you happen to play the lottery as well?
