Wilson Combat CQB and Wilson Combat Stealth

I sent the gun to Wilson and had them install a front sight to match. Its well regulated.

Wow. Thats cool.


Last time I talk to them, they were really adverse to installing any parts that didnt bear their name.

You're too kind. But you should feel the trigger ... Ed Brown barstock hammer, EGW competition sear, Cylinder & Slide match disconnector and King black short match trigger ... about 3.5# and consistent after 4,000+ rounds.


Also ... Wilson drop-in beavertail safety, Ed Brown Hard Core firing pin & stop, Ed Brown Hard Core extractor and Ed Brown 20 lpi checkered flat MSH, Ed Brown match bushing, Novak Lo-Mount sights.

I fit everything except the sights, which required milling.

Damn Ron I didnt know you were over here too! Glad to have you Brother! Oh Yeah Love that damn 1911! Thanks for sharing!

Grunt Out!

This is my second 1911 in almost 22 years. It is a Colt 1991 series 80 with the new roll mark and polished sided. It is stock, for now, except for a nice Videki speed trigger (remember those?) I found recently and a pair of Esmeralda double diamond cocobolo grips with border.

The vintage Milt Sparks holster was a gift from a good friend of mine who found out I was getting back into 1911s. The holster is so old that it isn't even listed on Milt Sparks' website anymore.

Here are my two contributions. The pistol on the top is a relatively new (few months) Colt Series 80 that has a C&S Tactical II trigger kit, C&S thumb safety, and a S&A grip safety as well as a pair of Gunners. It sees use as a carry pistol (hence the crud all over it...). The pistol on the bottom is a 1917 made Colt that my uncle gave me for Xmas. He doesn't know much about it other than he bought it and a can of ammo from his buddy 30-some years ago for $100. Once he heard I bought my other 1911 he figured I should have it. I plan to get it checked out by a smith and then I'd like to take her out and see how she shoots.

On with the pics...
