Sometimes I can't leave well-enough alone. This SR looked good bead blasted, but when I started polishing, it was no return.
I do love polished stainless.

I'm REALLY on a roll! New (to me) today; a 1978 Colt GM with Bomar sights...

Recent 1911 addict. Never really cared about the 1911’s until I got my first one. Now it’s an obsession.

Here’s the two I currently have with two more in the works.

Have you been in my safe?

I have nineteen 1911s; seventeen are Colts, all are classic Series 70 or pre-Series 70, and all function perfectly. I have one Ruger SR1911 LWC in 9mm that is simply a dream to shoot and a 1945 Remington Rand that I shoot occasionally but mostly have it on display.

I think I may be obsessed.

Cheers

Just picked up a new full size Garrison in 9mm. Seriously thinking about getting a Commander size Garrison.

 

[USMC6094]

Picked this up earlier this afternoon.......
And for the price I got it, it was almost stealing it.

Its ATIs Commander length M1911 GI.
Made a quick range trip and it shoots, it doesn't like SIG magazines, one of my Wilson Combat magazines lets GI ball ammo nose dive into the frame.
It'll get a good cleaning and lubricated tomorrow.
It'll also feed 185 grain hollow points with no issue.

I do love my stainless Garrison ! (Kinda wish they’d had the Commander size when i got it , not long after the model was introduced)… Not as ‘smooth’ as my Ronin - there’s a diff in fit/finish between the two - but thoroughly reliable. Love the grips, too.
U made a good choice

Here is a couple of my 1911s. Both are Springfields in .45ACP with the top one being the Champion Operator and the lower one being the Trophy Match.

Nothing is too good for the troops so nothing is what they get.

The only reward for a job well done is no punishment.

OK…all you fancy boys with your fancy .45s. Take a gander at some working .45s. Three Ballesters; one Riguad, and 2 Molinas. Bought them in the 80s for $100 each, when Century was importing them from Argentina. All work well, the Riguad, bottom was used by Customs, the Molinas were by the National Police. Originally made in the 30s, they soldiered on until the 80s when replaced by the Argentine version of the P-35.
