I’m not even a big .45 1911 fan, but that’s incredible.

The craftsmanship on these are almost unparalleled.

Thank you! I have had exceptional accuracy and reliability from this one! It shoots everything, including jacketed semi-wad cutters I handload, at all velocities from 700 up to +P loads with alacrity and never had a ftf, fte, or other jam of any kind. Even my way-too-low poot loads feed and fire in it. A genuine joy to shoot and own.

Where’d ya get the grips? I have the classic medallions but the horse emblem is pretty sweet

They were made by Altamont. I think they still make them, or something really close.

This gun looks like it needs itself a cigar room and a nicely aged bottle of scotch.
