Got 'er back! Pony up!

[metaldog]

Got my Colt Commander (1st Colt!) back on Friday (just now posting). Bought this lil pony off gunbroker.com for $700 & she went straight to J.M. Gunsmithing. Had him do the following:
1. Polish all internals & smooth action
2. Dehorn (deburr) the internals.
3. Bevel the magwell
4. Install Trijicon night sights (love em)
5. Smooth & lighten trigger pull (from 5.6# to 4.1#)
6. Minor touch-up bluing
7. Replaced smooth Colt grips with RAASCO double-diamond silverwood.
This 1974 Colt is all original, except for the work done. It does show a fair amount of holster wear, but I'm fine with that, as this will most likely be my new EDC.

I love Commanders, and you have a great one! The honest wear looks good.

Enjoy!

Nice! Except I'm offended you would sweep us all with pic #3 on post 2. How rude!
