Not terribly different from some others I've seen posted here, but it's everything I want or need in a 1911.

Basic stock MC Operator with 10-8 Performance Gen.2 slide stop and magazine release, S&A magwell and VZ Grips Operator II grips in 'Dirty Olive.'

Pat, I love the leaf covering the vitals. Who do you think you are, Adam in the Garden of Eden?

Hi PatEgan, it looks like it has a thicker barrel bushing. Or is that the factory one? Nice fightin' 1911!

Thanks. That's the original bushing, no aftermarket stuff up there.

Yes, the little oak leaf was perfect for covering the serial number...No, I wasn't trying to get all Old Testament on you...

But come to think of it, maybe I should have staged that shot on top of the bodies of some fallen Philistines or something...
