I shoot it every so often, I bought it in 2009. I plan on handing down to one of my kids one day, so I want them to remember me shooting and enjoying the gun. By the way it is one my favorite shooters, very accurate and never fails.

They'll have it sold before you're room temperature. Kidding. That's a sweetie for sure.

Did the grips darken over time, or did you replace them?

Same grips, just the lighting. I used flash on the lighter pictures.

Almost built a custom on one. Went to pick it jp fro a friend and he jacked the price. I passed.

That's a beautiful thing. I'm glad to hear that you shoot it. Nothing pains me more than a beauty like that never being fired. I don't even know how some folks are willing to spend money on a gun that they don't shoot.

I missed the original run of the Colt O1911, Carbonia Blue pistols, so I jumped on the O1918 "Black Army" when it hit the stores. I bought two of them. One to shoot, and one to put away in my safe. They are beautiful pistols, and great shooters.
