$1396 shipped. I bought it from a dealer out of Oklahoma off of Dallasguns.com.

Staged picture that my father took shortly after he purchased his 1911 (late last year).

It is a Colt 1911 Black Army from 1919. For its age, it is gorgeous and the action is still very smooth.

Love the classic look!

How does one adjust the tension of the extractor on an external extractor? Replace the spring?

You don't, it's supposedly not user-adjustable.

I have this one in two tone. I love the black though! Wish I could afford both. Maybe someday!

Some beautiful firearms here. Just got my first 1911.

The guy I got it from, ~6' 250lbs, said he was selling it because he wanted "something a little more fun to shoot" due to it being a compact .45. I'm 5'2" 105lbs and just have to say, it is a beauty to shoot and loads of fun. I plan on using it for my EDC.

To be honest, I actually like the old military style sights. Only problem I see is they easily disappear on dark backgrounds. Thought about painting the top edges with white as an assist. I have some modeling paints I though I would use. Paint thinner won't eat the finish if it doesn't work will it?

Custom Colt 70 series

I have been shopping for a new IDPA CDP gun and came accross this yesterday. It is a Beautiful Custom Series 70 colt built with the highest quality componants (no MIM) without a lot of unnecessary do dads (ambi safety etc.) It is a proffessional build that is almost exactly what I might have wished for but could not have afforded to commission.

Sorry if I am Gushing...........I'm just really stoked

 

[straight-shooter]

Absolutely gorgeous piece! Certainly anyone would be proud to own. I would be gushing too!

That would be on my never sell list and would feel proud behind it with every trip to the range. Enjoy!

Ah yes, Bacon and Colt in the morning.

Armslist. About an hours drive for me.

 

[sshelton]

i saw it on armslist... you got a good deal on this thing!

 

[96projectz24]

I need to get back into the 1911 game, lol. I bought an RIA Tactical about a year ago and loved it, just hated buying 45 ACP. Seeing all this 1911 awesomness gives me the itch again!
