Show some 1911 love!

Nothing fancy but I like it.

Plain as can be.

Leighton that looks like a built gun. What is she made of?

All USGI except for the frame, its an Essex. I had Honeybee give it a full go over and put on the small ambi safety. Its just like the one I carried for several years in the Army. She rattles when you shake her, but she runs smooth.

Just like a "working 1911" should! J.M.B. is up there smiling.

Heres my EDC. Very inferior to some posted on here but I really like it.

Mine started as mil spec Springfield 9mm. Mike fit the bevertail safety, Dove tail front sight coated the lower. Toothman did the bomar rear sight. Stan did the slide coating. I put all Nowlin Parts in it.

And Finally

That is even nicer looking (and shooting) gun in person!

Stan does good work.

Started out as a Kimber Tactical... and it still is. But with funky, ugly, modified grip.

I personally think it's the second best looking 1911 here... after my Detonics. But then I'm partial to snubbie .45acp's.

Here's my only one, Kimber Ultra CDP II as custom as custom gets straight from the factory!

Although I feel like a bit of a choade with it saying "Custom" and it not actually being custom anything, I do love it and feel like I could have done a lot worse with my first 1911. It's only had about 200-250 rounds down its chute so it's not even broken in yet, but has performed great so far.

 

[Burk Cornelius]

Probably not a choade (nice obscure word useage BTW) They are actually a little custom with the slide melt. Although, it seems like the melt on my Pro is more severe. Mine is a Series I. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

I love my CDP Pro (pictures in this thread)

Well I did get it for my carry gun, so I do like the carry melt. After I break it in I'll get a better feel for what I would like to upgrade in it.

I saw yours and I like it. I almost went with the Compact CDP, and even though it's only a couple of ounces lighter, I wanted to go as lightweight as I could.

 

[Burk Cornelius]

I like the compact also. Officers sized grip but with the 4" barrel.

There is a Series 1 Ultra CDP for sale on "another forum" but it is a tad bit high. I would love to own it.
