I haven’t been this excited about a pistol in while. 5” Prime Elite, .45 ACP, Full Hard Chrome, Square trigger guard, Ball Cuts, HRT slide stop cut, Reverse Flush Barrel Crown, Ambi Safety, 25 LPI FS Checkering, Mag Well, Checkered walnut grips, Gold Bead front sight, serrated black rear.
It should be a Dandy.
Squared trigger guard can be an issue in acquiring leather/Kydex.
This is true. I’m already working on that. I may see how a Staccoto/2011 holster fits as most of them use a STG.Quote:

Gunbroker came through for me! New gun from a very reputable dealer I’ve bought from before for over $1k cheaper than optioned out at ACW. They had a make offer and I’ll be damned they accepted my low ball ass offer!Quote:

I would have preferred a round trigger guard, but for $1k off and immediate delivery I’ll take it.Quote:

FYI, Simply Rugged has a holster that will work with a square trigger guard and I also reached out and they said they could make any 1911 holster with a square trigger guard no problem. They also have a very short lead time.
The square trigger guard serves no purpose, other than aesthetics. But they are beautiful, and a tribute to some legendary pioneers/craftsman like Armand Swensen...

OP, it will serve you well and with class!

Well shit. Looks like I won’t be getting this after all. I had my suspicions that I would never see it after I saw it land in Memphis during shipping and as I predicted, it seems to have vanished off the face of the earth. Oh well, at least the seller is offering a full refund so I don’t have to deal with any other bullshit. Let this be a lesson to all. Never use USPS, and if anything you order lands in Memphis, just assume it’s already stolen.
