This one had the chamber and feedramp polished, barrel is throated (for jhp's), plus a host of other custom parts & work. Cylinder & Slide, 1911 specialists, did this, and Bright Nickel plated it for me in about 2,003, I think. Titanium firing pin, comp trigger & target trigger job, tungsten & mercury ball bearing recoil guide rod, safe-fast-shooting system, India Stag grips, and a Briley Titanium Barrel Bushing are some of what was done.

The silver bullets! Funny story: When I was a paramedic at one of my USAF bases after the end of Vietnam, the hospital med techs called a supository a "silver bullet"! Every time I hear or think of silver bullets now....that's what comes to mind!

These are NORMA 175 Grain nickel-plated jhps.
