Well done, sir!

Congratulations on a beautiful build and being an excellent Grandfather.

 

[DT Guy]

Thanks for your compliment.

The Grandson has been deployed, so I haven't been able to talk with him about shooting the pistol.

Mike

Sincerely hope he stays safe, and appreciate his taking a turn guarding our freedom.

That's a very, very nice 1911.
Anyone would be proud!

That's a great looking gun, what are the grips?

The grips are black laminate from CDNN. Nothinf special, but look good with the parkerized finish.

Government Model Build

Thanks for the compliment.

The pistol is still going strong and my grandson is still in the Army at Fort Hood, TX.

Hi,
My kind of pistol!

I've used the Brownell's Park and it has always worked well for me and I recommend it all the time.

Nice work, what's next?

 

[Iron Mike 631]

Thanks for your nice comment.

I built a similar Caspian Government Model as a tribute for a friend whose wife died suddenly with a brain aneurism (sp?). I finished it just as the covid crisis started and wanted to get to him in case transportation was stopped, so didn't take any pictures. I will ask my friend to take pictures to post. I think the tribute gun may be nicer than my grandson's piece.
