Opinion on Custom 1911 decision

[rockhopper46038]

Looks like a very fine choice!

Beautiful 1911. Full rail is not my personal preference, but I bet it is a tack driver thanks to weight of bull barrel and rail. Congratulations on a fine acquisition!

Wow that is one slick 1911 and a great choice for an investment piece. I have a full rail springfield operator but it's nothing like that. Let us know how it shoots.

SWEET................

A little high for a springer.

A little high for a springer.

Maybe but it is a very nice Springer.....yes.....

Yes, but still a Springer billboard.

 

[churchmouse]

Yes, but still a Springer billboard.

Not in love with that but I like the gun.

Yes, but still a Springer billboard.

Since he started with new mil-spec full-rail operators, not much you can do with the billboard... If you check out his gallery, he does have some that he added his own logo to, but he did not do that on his latest batch...

I agree, would prefer just his logo or none at all... But that would just add to the cost that much more with a new slide and fitting of it...

Not as bad as the obnoxious "COLT 1991A1 (tm) -STAINLESS-" billboard on the side of my custom Wilson Colt...

So . . . are you going to shoot the crap out of it, or shoot it a little, or let it rest gently in the safe?

 

[mshogren]

It will get shot...but not abused. It will likely end up doing night stand duty...and an occasional carry situation. It has 4 brothers and sisters competing for attention...and the family always seems to be growing...

Where are the pictures, noob?............

 

[mshogren]

Ok, Ok...finally got around to taking a couple of pics.

I swapped out the VZ thin grips that came on it for some Wilson Double Diamond full thickness grips. It feels better that way to me.

First pic is the Benchmark with my Wilson Elite Professional. By the groups, you can see I was shooting the Benchmark a little better that day.

Here is a pic closer up of just the Benchmark.

Mmmmmm, excellent.

If you want real custom (not that the others are not) look up D&L Sports (The Home of Quality Custom Firearms, Tactical Training and The Tactical Marksman's Match...). Look at the Professional Model. Dave Lauck is the owner/operator. One man shop. I have two of his pistols. One I carry on duty currently, the other off duty. No offense to the others, but Lauck's pistols are reliable and bank vault solid. Hardchromed to boot.

Another vote for Ed Brown. If I had the money, that's what I'd go for right now.
