A true 1911, Circa 1918.

It had no finish on it, and I had it re-blued just over a year ago. This gun is super-cool.





Kimber Stainless II that a custom shop up here near me has de-horned, and added a few other touches for me. I also had Metroplights put on it. She shoots real nice, and is my first 1911 'project'. I think I avoided putting do-dads on it, and have instead thought it through carefully. People hate on Kimbers, but this one is reliable, accurate, and I think darn good looking too:









This last one is a Caspian that I eyed at the same custom shop when I brought in my Series 70 COLT to get a different safety put on. I was not going to buy another 1911, but I had to buy this one. It is a full blown custom build and it is the best gun that I own. I am an OK shot, this gun levels me up with shooters a lot better than me. All top end parts, Caspian Frame and Slide, Kart NM Barrel, nylon Target Trigger. Great, great gun.





And an earlier pic with different grips and flat MSH from a little while back:



This Caspian fits my hand perfectly, and the trigger is amazing.
