"I swear Honey, two of the guns in my safe got busy and created this little one!" She didn't buy that and now I am in the doghouse but it is a sweet compact and perfect in everyway

more like a curse, wish I had the ability to be content and simply enjoy what it already in the safe. Enjoy your S&W, they are really good guns, and save your money for ammunition and shooting.

And this is my other Colt that Greg Derr just finished.

Congrats on the new Colt. It is a nice piece. But that Greg Derr Colt is a masterpiece.

Duty gun so took a much needed clp bath the other day.

Lately the idea of owning a Colt bit me in the brain and won't let go. This is not good! (For my wallet...)

Tasteful rig!!

 

[M60]

I have been wanting one of these for some time Finally happened. Did you know stainless rusts After 6 hours of tapeing , glass beading and hand rubbing she's done.......except for maybe a grip change.

Hey, that Baer's in my collection now. Thanks for that. Great 45 and yes, I changed the grips.

Got the same one with different grips. Over 2k rounds not a single failure or any kind. Love it.

What kind of grips do you use? I think these Houges are a little slippery for me.

Check out VZ grips.

I have VZ on one and a set of G10 starburst design I got from a guy off eBay for half the price than VZ. They are not AS good but are by no means lousy either.

 

[TheSimpleOne]

So I should go with g10? I have pretty big hands and I've tried 4 different sets and I'm still not satisfied lol.

 

[Lsgun1]

G10 is just the material. Supposed to be durable and not slippery. If you have big hands don't get the slim grips. I don't know if they make fatter grips than the ones that normally come on 1911s.

The VZ Alien grips on my 1911's are so aggressive that I'd cut myself if they had any more bite.

Posted this on another thread but thought it was appropriate here too. How a 1911 works, pretty cool:

I think VZ only makes regular or slim fit… If you want something beefier, you might have to go with a Hogue or some kind of rubber grip like that.

This started out as a well lightly used Colt LW Commander(aluminum frame) The frame has some issues as the previous owner had stippled parts of the frame, mainly the front strap. The new owner wanted some upgrades and finish. The slide was fitted with a new Harrison Design rear sight and an XS small plain dot front sight. I fit a new EGW thick flange carry bevel bushing to the original Colt barrel. I turned a spring cap to get it to match the face of the bushing for a flat look. Good friend "Metalsmith" serrated the front of the frame to 20 LPI. I fit a new MSH and beveled the bottom. The owner wanted to keep the Colt thumb and grip safeties. A new Wilson extended slide was added. The original ring style hammer was surface ground to relieve the side to prevent rubbing on the frame. A fresh Grieder trigger was added as well as a trigger job to 5# for carry. The slide was high polished and hot blued. The lower was lightly glass beaded on the exterior only and then sprayed with graphite black Cerakote. Grips are smooth light walnut.
