Only two of these made. I know who has the other one, I don't think he's selling his, yet.

Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.
Wow. Def a Holy Grail of 1911s. Honestly, the opening bid is really low.

A true piece of modern 1911 history right there.
ETC (SW/AW), USN (1998-2008)
CVN-65, USS Enterprise
Might of been one of the few Vickers Customs in 9MM as Larry had mostly quit building 1911s before the 9MM became more popular in 1911s'.
I took a pistol class with him not long after Wilson started building 9mm 1911s. During breaks and after class he let me shoot it, maybe 100, 150 rounds. To me it was like butter, and I noticed he shot it in other classes later on. I don't know if that was before or after he stopped custom building his 1911s. His 1911 builders/maintainers class was one of the best classes I ever took.
I'm surprised it didn't do better. I would guess Larry could get $5k a gun if he was building them today.
I think the series 80 scared off some people. But at that time it was very hard to find a series 70.

I regret not getting one of his guns when I had the chance, but then, that level of money for me then was in the stratosphere.
