I dumped the "Wife Unit" last year (after 23 years) and now I am building my collection as well.

Colt Officer's .45 Auto SS
Kimber Eclipse II Pro
Colt Govt. .38 Super in Bright SS

This is just a start. Should be there with you in the next two years or so!

Lol. Guns don't talk back or make a fuss. You don't have to buy shoes for them....only feed them.....and they never ask if they look fat.....

fe700 that NRM looks fire blued. darn sharp with the short trigger and arched msh looks like a million. the other one isn't half bad either.

Thanks bud for the nice compliment.

That's a Gunkote finish I did on it. Came out better than I could have ever hoped. I'm going for the look of the older series 70's. I would say late 60's model or so? I think I'm there. It's a beauty if I don't say so myself.

Can you detail your gunkote steps for me?
I have a Colt Trooper MK V 357 Mag I would like to refinish with gunkote. It was blued. I had to replce the sideplate with a nickle plated one,will this make a difference? Will the beadblasting and K-Phos take care of the adhesion to the nickle?
Also, have you seen, or anyone else, the new "Gun Blue" finish KG is offering?

Thanks, your pistols look great!!!

Now this is nothing Special but it is a Working Colt.

Worn out stainless Delta updated by John Harrison. The picture does not do John's work justice.

here's a couple

Delta Elite by Jim Garthwaite:

other side:

1948 commercial done up by ? Found it used in a shop and the work was obviously top drawer. Might be a Clark but is not marked.

love those old rollmarks:

Got a few Colt revolvers, but this is my only semi...

Not a 1911, but (so far) it's the only Colt in the house

It belonged to the great great grandfather of my wife. He served with the Missouri militia in the Civil War and was held as a POW in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

Oh yeah, my mother-in-law used to play with it as a child (take it apart like a puzzle), so it has been handled quite a bit. Original finish (and slightly rounded screw heads) though.

Sorry it took so long to respond. I wasn't getting emails of replies in this thread.

Anywho, let me refer you to this link. This will tell you everything you need to know.

Only two, but I hope to add a Government this summer.

First is a Canadian proofed 1916 Colt New Service:

Second is a stainless 1992 Series 80 Enhanced Commander I just got back from Tripp Research with Heinie Sights and a new paint job:

Sporting a set of Gunner Grips:

 

[atty_guy]

Here are my Novak's -built Colt Series 80 Enhanced Colts.

The late Joe Bonar built the Combat Commander and his son, Dusty, built the Goverment Model. The work on the pistols was as follows:

1. Novak's Night Sights System
2. Carry Bevel Package
3. Extended Grip Safety w/Lanyard Loop (S&A on Commander, Ed Brown on Gov't)
4. Extended Thumb Safety
5. Trigger Job with Videki Trigger
6. N.M. Bushing
7. Reliability Package
8. Smith & Alexander Flat Checkered Mag Well (Arched on Gov't)
9. Reliability Package
10. Grasping Grooves on Front of Slide
11. Refinish ( bead blast & blue)
12. Cocobolo Wood Grips (Hogue on Gov't Model, Spegel on Commander)

I went for beadblasting and bluing on both, as they are shooters and most of the other finishes were far more expensive and wouldn't last as long. The S&A flat checkered mag well and grip safety with palmswell I have found preferrable to the round checkered mag well and Ed Brown grip safety. I will have both replaced on the Government Model soon. I will replace the Hogue with Spegel grips soon, and I went with skateboard tape on the front straps of both because I was too cheap to get the front straps checkered, but would recommend that work over tape.

[Powernoodle]

Cameron, I love those photos of your NRM. Well done.

I'll second that. Thats about about as good looking as a 1911 can get, IMO. I already had those picks on my harddrive, having swiped them from another thread.

best regards

These have probably been seen before, but here they are:

Wanted to add that all of your guns are very nice, and I really like that Officers model that belongs to Jim C.

Nothing fancy, Colt M1991A1 Compact in matte, but it works well.

 

[DHart]

Spieler... there is something great about the basic black, plain Colt look... I like it! Just got a new ORM 1991A1 Commander a few weeks ago which I'm looking forward to photographing in "basic black."
