I would be looking at a Dan Wesson or a used Les Baer. Both can be had for around $1500.
The classifieds over on 1911addicts.com is where I’d direct you to (don’t break the rules, make sure you read them first).
It’s surely the best place on the net for what you seek.
The fact that Greg Derr is on this list makes it a totally irrelevant one. Chuck Rogers and Ned Christiansen are not even in the guild.
I know a bunch of the guys who are, and it’s a nice “club” to be in. That said, I put 0 stock in it.
I don’t have much time as life and work have me completely bogged down (have been slammed for the last 8 months). That said, I wanted to share pics as this pistol is a really special one to me.
This is the first custom gun I ever ordered… literally this is the custom that got me into customs...
Probably a long shot, but figured I would post to see if anyone had one. I have an OG restricted Mod1 and it’s misssing the wedge lock rail. I would prefer a 13” if I were to pick! Let me know if you’re holding.
99% minty optic here… out of the box for a short amount of time. Full disclosure, I had it mounted on my rifle, never fired.
These retailed for around a grand.

Although I like a curved trigger… I prefer a flat trigger over a curved.
A Rogers Precision semi-flat trigger is my all time favorite though!! Pics for illustration!

Yes on the Kimber , Chuck would require a base gun to do work. Although I’ve seen him produce a blues gun (many years back), most of Chuck’s guns are cerakote or stainless
Here is the Kimber.
Looking for a handful of Colt 1911’s. Would prefer 9mm or 38 supers, but 45’s are fine as well. Condition isn’t much of a concern at this point.
Please let me know if you have anything you want to move!
