Paladin's 1911 if he had one!

[Greg Derr]

Was watching some old Richard Boone episodes of Paladin and got to thinking what he would carry in a 1911. This started out as a factory fresh Series 80 Colt. As you can see almost every surface and part has been changed. New sight, flat top and serrations, magnificent checkering by Single. New Kart barrel with EGW bushing. Extreme trigger group. Finish is a high gloss deep blue with matte rounds. Nitre blue accent pieces. Genuine ivory grips.

Very nice indeed!

I used to really enjoy that show.

Oh Gawd.

How could anyone actually SHOOT that ?

It's a work of art.

 

[smokey-seven]

Not meaning to be nasty, but could you ball park the parts and work cost?

I Have a pristine series 70 Nat Match gold cup I am contemplating doing. I could also just buy a run of the mil Colt and do it to that one. Money is not the problem, it's just getting off my butt and doing it to it.

Thank you- a great ballad.

With all the controls on ivory, how did you get the grips, and won't selling the gun be a problem?

The gun owner in (Ca.) provided the grips. I was a NIB Colt to start with, from him.
