Serial number puts it at 1919. Colts .22 conversion to go with it as well. Haven’t cleaned it yet.. still has a cobweb in the barrel. Shop scored a good deal and then I snagged it up afterwards.

Picked up #3 in my collection yesterday. TALO distributor edition Ruger SR1911 in 45.

I was looking for a .40 and man did I find one! Had the box, manual, 4 mags and the takedown tool! Looks like it was made between 98 and 01 so hopefully not a clunker.

Picked up this rock island tac ultra a couple weeks ago used. When I got it i noticed some peening at the slide stop so i had the shops gunsmith take it and clean it up. Think he did a pretty good job. Also got in the valkeryie designs compensator so I threw that one when I got home.

So excited about this grail pickup. Anything I should know, being a new Staccato owner???

Got this at a local pawn shop. Never been fired according to the clerk. Put about 250 rounds over the last two weeks.

Hey guys I got a CMP 1911 with a colt frame and Remington Rand slide. Any possible chance anyone here has one and can trade maybe there’s is mismatched? If not anyone know where I can find one that’s not super expensive

I recently acquired this 1911, I've never seen another like it. Does anyone have any idea how hard they are to find ?

Google didn't know or help much.

Edit : Let me clarify... nothing in stock anywhere, no information on production count or rarity.

To any gunsmiths, or people with more knowledge out there:

is it possible to remove front slide serrations on a stainless slide, but without reducing the slide profile in that front area? Like filling the lines by tig welding, for example... Or is it basically get a new slide at that point?

There are still a few minor things I pan to change on this one but hot damn is this DW Valor sweet. Also, pic 2 is why nobody can track down a Stan Chen SI magwell right now.

My first Springfield Armory

The upper photo is a 2013 Hunter, and I’m wondering if those earlier models with two port comps were one solid piece with the barrel.

Wilson still makes an awesome comp gun when they want to.

Dont like it? Tough.

I like it.

I’m looking at getting a Wilson Combat high ride grip safety to replace the super sloppy grip safety that came on my newly acquired Colt SE-A1. Does anyone have experience with how these fit on Colts? Are they oversized and meant to be fit or can they be, “drop in”? It says on the website that fit and refinish are required, but in my experience that’s not actually the case for a lot of 1911 parts I’ve installed (other than thumb safeties). Thanks all.

Red dots are only for people who don’t know how to shoot?

Swapped the slides to see how they look but I would NOT fire them in this config.
