L. A. VICKERS CUSTOM

Today it arrived as promised a Series 70 Big letter Colt govt'model.This pistol was new in the box unfired and was waiting to be customized for years ,The problem was finding the right guy for the job customizing a Colt takes real talent they are full of little quirks cosmetically and mechanically.I even conteplated doing it myself but I wanted this one to be special from a guy who is at the top of the heap and in my opinion simply the best at traditional handwork period.The word on the street in the industry was the guy im looking for was Larry Vickers. After couple of phone conversations I knew that I had found the Swenson of our time. Opening the box there she was I have to admit I am hard to impress but this pistol was finest pistol I have ever laid hands on period.The parkerizing and walnut grips that Larry selected was absolutely beautiful it reminded me of my fathers pre-64 M-70 Winchesters,the fit and finish was above reproach the action cycled smoothly and the lock up was superb.Here is the list of details.
