Are there any updates, photos and what not with regard to this 1911??? I have been curious to see it after the slide crack and replacement and hear any other news

Ha, as a matter of fact this gun is in my very near future and i'll have an update before Christmas!

This has got to be the forum's most iconic 1911 thread.

It in part talked me into my Springfield.

My first, and cheapest, 1911 was a SA mil-spec lightweight. I did a trigger job, put on night sights, and shot the hell out of it. It cost about $450, it shot as good if not better than $1,500-$2K 1911s I have, and I have put thousands and thousands of rounds through it (NOT 88,000 though!).

Love this thread.
