The 1911 Handgun Picture Thread

[snacks]

Nice Baer. I like the grips are those the green micarta grips. They have a bit of red in them i think.

rob_s - I'm not a huge fan of the way they screw heads stick up but I'm getting used to it. They are thinner grips so I can see why they do but I would also be interested in a set of thin, slotted grip screws if you find some.

snacks - They are the green/black linen. The hint of red is from the tablecloth. (not normall there we had a party ) I really like the color against the blued finish. Once I wear the bluing I'll send this off for either E-Treat or some type of melonite finish.

My first (and only) 1911 - a Series 1 Kimber Classic Custom Target.

Some close up shots of a Colt that Paul Liebenberg built for a friend of mine. The rear sight is not a Novak, it's Paul's creation. Also notice the uniquely contoured grip safety, thumb safety, square trigger guard and the slide stop.

great pics Sam, that is nice. Looks like a more subtle version (all blue, fixed sights) of Liebenberg's current Combat Special Classic offering.

This is a 1991-A1 that I committed some smithing on.

I took this:



Added these:



And somehow came up with this:



It's a fun gun for the most part but it does run 100%.

Good looking work!

I like seeing guns with honest wear on them.

Nice piece Boris!
