PC1911, Product Code, 170243

[Dino44]

I saw this a few weeks ago, at a friend's gun shop. I asked if he could hold it, until I raised the funds for it. He did and I picked it up this afternoon. Serial number is JMB0507. "JMB" being a tribute to John Moses Browning. From what I've read these were introduced at shot show in 2004. My cost with tax included was $1200 OTD. I'm pretty happy with that, considering its high condition and the MSRP in the 2005 catalog was $2272.00. I only received the gun. There was no box, or other accoutrements that these originally shipped with. Tomorrow is my normal range day, so I'll be giving it a try. Here are a few pictures.

That a great looking PC1911.
I purchased the all stainless version on 11/08/2006 for a total of $1,454.
It was NIB and I have the PC case as well as the shipping box.
I changed to a Dawson FO front sight and shot it a few years in IDPA CDP.
It went over 5,000 rounds before the first malfunction and that was caused by several hundred rounds of cast bullet loads (WW231 & H&G 68) without cleaning it.
It hasn't been shot in several years.
When I get time I'll post a few pictures of it.
Cheers
James

Nice find, Dino! I've heard that was not only the first 1911 out of the PC, but also one of the finest! Mine is #1725.

Great looking guns. Mine is a 170243U, from 2008, JMB1889. It was a display gun at the 2009 Shot Show.
