Hello,
My future wife has hinted at getting me a custom 1911 as my wedding gift and I'm very excited. However, there are some things that have caught my attention. These are just my opinions from looking at various pictures so please do not take them too seriously.
Chuck Rogers: Beautiful 1911's and I would love one but unfortunately he is not taking anymore orders. That soft melted look is what I am looking for. I've seen several of his builds that I would love to have.
Wilson Combat: I love the brand but the guns look kind of "messy". Like there is too much going on. I can't pinpoint everything that contributes to the messy look but I'm sure someone will know what I am talking about. Even with a naked slide they don't have that look I'm going for.
Ed Brown: Nice clean guns but they don't have the same melted look as Chuck Rogers' guns.
Les Baer: Guns look too sharp and unrefined.
So my questions is, what are my options in order to get a gun that has that Chuck Rogers soft melted look with the gorgeous finish? I would love to have a customized Series 70 Colt but I like the idea of the Wilson Combat guns because it doesn't involve revamping a mass produced gun. I would rather have a gun that is built from the bottom up as a custom gun. Here is an example of what I am looking for...minus the springfield armory logo. I like naked slides.

I would never sell this gun and it would mainly be a safe queen. I would shoot it a few times just to shoot it.
