Smile Make it Stop!

Greetings,

Ok, so recently I "had" to order a set of ivory grips for a 1911 (in large part due to all you'ze guys/gals nice grips that you post!). They should be here sometime this week...

Well, of course we can't have a nice set of grips on a Colt 1911 and not have a similarly nice "rig".

...my new Galco "Miami Vice" style shoulder holster outfit should be here this week...

Make it stop!

Additionally, I thought this would be a neat opportunity to post pictures of some of your favorite accessories, custom grips, holsters, or anything that you just "had-to-have" to compliment your firearm or EDC.

I like your choice of accessories. My Miami Classic handles my 1911 very nicely while I am feeling comfortable.

Show us some photos once it is all together.

When I was buying my first handgun in November of '08 () the LGS owner told me "Buying the gun is the cheap part."

He was right!

Here is my favorite accessory... Hopefully it won't be long before I have some use for a holster as well...

This is a pre-Series '70 Combat Commander in .38 Super.




Same gun with Rafter Leather accessories in full-quill ostrich and alligator trim.




A 1950 post-war commercial,also in .38 Super,with ivory and an old Heiser holster.





A brushed-blue 1950 Target with ivories,leather by Heiser.



An El Paso Saddlery rig with a 1st Generation Colt Bisley. Unfortunately,the Bisley ain't mine,but I'm workin' on it hard.

You started this.
Are you happy now?
All this envy and it's your fault!
It will all end in tears, I just know it!

I can't wait to post pictures later in the week!

I guess it's cheaper than a Corvette or something though!
