Do those guns really look that nice, or is it just the great photos?
Great looking guns!

very sharp!

my only concern would be how cold they would be in the winter months, fingers would freeze to 'em out here!

I see you've got the right barrel/bushing (or at least the bushing) in that 1911, ed brown is my favorite I have to say. Got my commander barrel/bushing from them for a very low price.

The only thing left taurus about that 1911 is the name on the slide. Ed brown barrel and bushing, Wilson combat internals, and a S&A MSH. complete with CMC mags
