Some of you guys followed my last post where I grumbled about 1911 peer pressure. I love the 1911 platform and carry one daily. This is about mine.
It took two trips to Don Williams, a trip to Steve Morrison and then finally one to Dawson Precision, but I finally got my duty 1911 just the way I wanted it.
This gun is very special to me. It was my first handgun and I bought it new in the box. Even prior to becoming a police officer I knew I wanted to carry it one day on a Sam Browne belt. When I bought it I never imagined that it would go through the evolution that it has.
Started out looking like this:
Now looks like this:
Rail added by Dawson Precision
What the bad guys see...
Yo-Bo Pro sight with .156 notch reworked by Steve Morrison
With Surefire X200 attached
This gun has received a lot of work. One thing that it did not have was the slide-to-frame fit tightened. I wanted it left loose for reliability. This gun is everything I need and nothing that I don't. It is my ultimate 1911.
Thank you Don and Steve!
