It is my lowest cost 1911! My only 9mm 1911. But it functions well. I had sight issues with it. So, Tru Glo Fiber Optic sights. They made a big difference. Bought some Camel Bone Grips. Did not my Colt Commander, so did a little Dremel work and put them on this. Have 5 1911's in all. Bob

Went to Lansing Mason Gun Show today. Haven't been finding anything worth buying. Had a trade that I just didn't shoot. So traded into this new Colt Commander. It goes with my full size Colt trophy and 3 others. Of course I changed the grips. Show was not that good, put prevailed! Bob

Always liked contrast on guns. My 17-2 from 1964 wearing plastic/ resin stocks. Even show a yellowish cast as Ivory can. Picked them up here on the Forum. Had to minor alterations, and buff them a little with fine rubbing compound and a soft rag. Thanks, offroadmania! {Matt} Bob

Went to the fairgrounds today where every Saturday they have livestock, vendors inside & out. Got there early. Saw this on a table and had to have it. Asked the seller price. Everything on table is $1. Couldn't resist. Bob

Always looking for some good looking grips. Picked up these sets up about a week apart. 1 set is wood with a bone insert. {Sig} The other is Elk Antler. {Gold Cup} Who has interesting 1911 grips??? Bob

I have been thinking about this a while so going to present the question on 38 Super. What seems to be the advantage to owning 1. Have 2 45ACP's, a .40 Commander, and a 9mm. {1911's} I hand load, so not too worried about ammo price. Are they far more accurate? Any input would be appreciated...

Just wondered if you could shoot 45 Auto Rim in 45 Colt Revolver brands? EX: S&W 25 and Ruger Blackhawk. Have not heard it ever mentioned. Bob

My wife usually buys me strange presents. So, I offered to pick out something for myself. It worked! Haven't used yet, but a slick combo. Have 1/2" thick, 4" and 8" gongs. Bought a stencil to paint lines. Bob

A Friend of mine gifted this mint Winchester 62A around 3 years ago. {1951} Have never fired it, and not sure if was ever fired. So since it is a wall hanger. I needed something to shoot 50 yard targets. My choice was a Savage MarkII heavy barrel target. {not fired yet either}. But that will...

I like 45 caliber as many do. These 2 are kinda of cousins. 625 JM, and 25-15. One is ACP, and the 25 is Colt. Thought I would take some pics of them together. Nothing rare about them, and they both have the HOLE. {Doesn't matter that much to me} Kudos to those of you that take great pictures. Bob

I picked up these 1911 grips on that site because price was right, and love the grain in the wood. But I am curious as to what type of wood it is. No marking on them except pencil 751 or 757. If you have any ideas let me know. Thanks, Bob

A good friend of mine from Illinois gave me this 62A, Oct. 2020. Posted it before, but was tired of it just being in a soft rifle bag. So..... he shamed me into getting my case up. Hate making holes in the walls. Bottom line is that it looks much better like this. Bob

Guess I bought a horse and got a *******! Purchased a 15 rd. Hellcat magazine. It just had the flat magazine base. My 13 rd. has a grip extension on it. Is there a filler piece I can use, or a magazine sleeve? Had zero luck on internet. HELP! Bob

Bought a Hellcat at Cabelas the other day. Just for grins I went to see if they had any Small Pistol Primers. They had CCi's at $154.99 a box. Just can't believe people would pay that! I sure didn't. {Not desperate} Bob

I turned 70 last month. Always wanted a Colt 1911. Have owned other brands. Sig is super nice. Thought about it and sold another 1911 for money. {did not have enough} So in the meantime bought a Gold Cup Trophy on G.B. Decent price. Has not been to the range yet because picked it up yesterday...

Bought a good looking set of K/L r.b. grips at the gun show Saturday. I knew the screw and stirrup were missing. Thought I had a set at home. Once again I was wrong. All I have are the larger screw ones. Does anyone know where I can find them? Thanks, Bob

Just wondering if this would be a decent for CCW? I know that it is heavier than plastic guns and it is 8+1 capacity. It has tritium/ fiber optic sights. what do you think? Bob
