New Grips and Paint

I just got my 1911 back from the gunsmith Sunday night.

Now I just need to find some time to shoot it.

Well, you could have brought it to the Tuesday night shoot tonight....

<sigh>

I need to get some plywood on the roof of the addition before it starts raining tonight.

Besides, I don't have a holster for it and I thought the Tuesday night shoots required a holster.

[thughes]

I've got several 1911 holsters.

[thughes]

Get your plywood up and tell the wife you're going shooting next Tuesday night.

[WARFAB]

I'll be at Big Moose lake that Tuesday.

The way the trigger and sights are set up, it's only really good for target shooting. Since it's not a carry pistol I decided to have some fun with it. The original finish wasn't very good anymore, so I figured I wouldn't be making it worse.

I'm not sure why there aren't any markings on it. I don't really know its history. The one guy at Beikirch's who looked at it thought it might be a former military pistol that someone kept and ground the markings off. The grips that I got with it were pretty old looking and the traditional 1911 style wood pattern.

NAW..did my time in there...used to R.O. for those, and the Wed matches back in the 90's. Not enjoying the indoor ranges so much.


Former military pistol......HA! the last 1911a1 I saw in our armory (c1993) could be disassembled with three good shakes. My Co Cdr told me to aim it at the left hip (bottom corner of B27 type target @ 25m) to hit Center Mass every time... Passed inspection each year until we got the M9s. Good luck with THAT.

Former military pistol that someone did a lot of work on before I got it. The slide is extremely tight on the frame. It has a match barrel with match bushing, frontstrap stippling, and the internals have all been tuned.
