That white trigger says... Put your finger here :)

SEXY 1911

Postby gun_fan111 on Sat Nov 02, 2013 7:16 am

These pictures gave me an idea. I bought an amazon local coupon for an image on metal and will try to get a nice picture of one of my 1911s posted over my reloading bench.
Did you just buy that beautiful firearm, or are you trying to sell that piece of crap?

Beautiful gun! They have it sitting on a leather holster. After spending nearly $5000 for the build and an excellent blue job, why would you put that beauty anywhere near a holster so the blue can start rubbing off?

Definitely better off with Kydex :P

Edit: if anyone else was curious, my google-fu was good enough to find the maker of the trays. Apparently they're CNC machined billet aluminum. Seems like they're probably pricier than I'm willing to go for, but they sure are cool.

Yup, that appears to be the same guy. Like I thought, it's a little hard for me personally to justify the $ when basic plastic ones (arguably) do the job just as well, if with less panache. I still think they're really cool, though. :)


How about 100 round machined chamber checks? at least they do something other than hold bullets.

Regarding the gun...Looks awesome, but I just can't stand the grips. They are absolutely gorgeous! but I feel that they would feel too slick to shoot, and I would be worried about marring them. I don't know what's wrong with me, I've just gotten to the point where functionality IS aesthetics... :?

That's also pretty darn cool.

I agree and disagree. I don't think it's intended to be used as a competition or carry piece, so I think I could put up with the slickness in exchange for the beauty. I see it as a gun that you'd shoot occasionally for enjoyment rather than one that you'd put through hard use. I'd probably feel compelled to keep it OCD-level clean, too. Of course, for me, it's academic, as it wouldn't surprise me to learn that the gun that started this thread is worth more than my car.

I like the ammo blocks. I suppose if I had "Rodentman" engraved on them there would be virtually no resale value.

That said I don't know what HP uses.

I love how the screws line up. I've seen that only on very expensive shotguns at Puglisi's in Duluth.



Yeah-I noticed the grip screws lining up too.

That is just a touch of serious class.

That pistol is just plain gorgeous.

Look at this one. It has a lot of nice features and is a bargain compared Heirloom Precision.

Nah, the wood used for the grips is...well....ugly. Also, the bluing doesn't have as high of a luster polish to it.

The grip screws don't line up quite so well on the double diamond grips.
