Just hit 1k thru it, so I thought I'd pull the grips off and snap a few pictures.

Overall, I'm happy with the performance (well, since it was mine, it's awesome ;) ).
In case you are familiar with this 1911, she is a 2001 build, with just over 50k through it. Has been refinished...a few times. Most recently in Cerakote by NIC. By far my favorite non metallic coating. I wish I had kept all the FTF/FTE data, but I did not in the early years. Suffice to say, it like all WC products, has been wonderfully reliable. No parts failures during the entire duration, sights upgraded to the new Battle/Gold Bead setup. My only complaint is the 30lpi checkering. I like it a bit rougher. (A thorough history of the gun, with lots of dirty pics, can be had over at 1911fourm.com, my user there is blr).
Cheers
Bill
