Soooo... whaddya think?
Hmmmm... maybe
not...
I
am getting it 'spruced up' however.
As our local cerakote outfit, I dropped it off yesterday. Hopefully... by mid-June... I'll have something to show off!
WOOT! Got an e-mail yesterday, that my pistol is now READY! Hope to pick it up tomorrow, and post pics then!
RAT FARTS!!!
After driving all the way out there (60+ miles round-trip), I find out... they're closed on Mondays (says so on their website - MY bad... ). And while they're open late Tuesdays & Thursdays, I have meetings BOTH nights. So it looks like Saturday morning, before I get my 1911 back...
OK... it TOOK a while, but it was worth the wait!
I had the controls an barrel done in bright silver - which, for $35, was hard to beat. It didn't QUITE come out the way I wanted, so I just decided to upgrade my controls accordingly, in matte stainless steel.
Here's the before: Bought it new in '95 - added the Ed Brown ambi-safety in '96, along with the cheap-ass rubber grips, and that's pretty much it.
AFTER:
- Pachmayer grips
- Nighthawk trigger (breaks crisp @ 3lbs now!)
- Fusion hammer
- Wilson Combat grip safety, backstrap, ambi-safety, spring plug, mag release, and extended slide stop
- Precision Tooling Comp
Taking it to the range tomorrow!
