That is too cool!

Yeah after all your advice, I'm not gonna have it refinished, but probably gonna have them fix the timing issues, as its not that fun getting lead fragments in your cheek during firing. There is zero rust, and the pitting doesn't bother me that much, as it has definitely improved since I have...

Sportster, the previous owner's father (both ex-leo) kept the gun in a Bucheimer Sheriff holster, for many many years without any maintenance. I have the holster and the inside is rough and dry, texture like sandpaper. There is some pitting where the trigger guard meets the frame, and some...

Thanks Marshal. How does the SW compare to your other 1911's? Would you recommend another brand?

Like the thread title says, I am thinking of purchasing one of these. It will be my first 1911 and I am torn between this one and a full-size. Will be CCW'd in winter time if it proves reliable. So what do you guys think? Anyone have one? The guys at my local shop keep trying to steer me...
