Looks good Walt, your grip work?

Yes all the cast offs get put on my guns.But i an going to make a set of ivories for my 27no dash 3 1/2 barreled blue.
I will post pictures when it is done

The gold Peso is a nice touch! You need to find a Colt 1902 for a set of grips like that, they were very popular in Mexico.

I think I have finally found a 1911 I like. And it warms my soul. S.A. RO 9mm. Planning an AllenM build for single stack steel and USPSA over the cold months, but for now it's a fun factory gun. really easy to learn and correct mistakes in my form with this pistol being sa and having excellent sights, fighting some npoa demons currently. At 15 yards it should probably be a single hole gun, but I'm not a single hole pistol shooter.

Good choice. We have used the RO platform for more than a few builds and AllenM has been my guy.

Your AllenM builds influenced this whole crazy path. The more I look at this thread the more expensive this gun gets lol.

Dang! That Wraith is a beaut!!! I have seen them on the DW web site, but never seen one in the wild before. That is sweet for sure.

Night Watchman

Very nice!

 

[Leadeye]

Picked this up for a good price, it's coated with something that flips from blue to nickle but looks good. It needed better grips so I found some in the parts box that were whiter. It shoots well, now I have to scare up a good holster.

I'm a fan of the SR1911 series, and the Night Watchman is a really nice looking piece.

I'm probably saying this wrong, but I've always really liked the old-style spurred hammer on older 1911s and CZs. Everything seems rounded and skeletonized nowadays, but the vintage look of a spurred hammer looks classic to me.

Thanks, it’s much better with a can mounted.

Congrats, looks like an interesting one.

Here’s the custom one I made, it’s a volkmann custom slide and frame, hand fit, the grips are made from a piece of English walnut, trigger is colt, and most the other parts are Springfield or Wilson combat, cerakote is sniper grey mixed with crushed aluminum, Tiffany blue trigger, and graphite black
