Re: Billett Aluminum
They have a nice feel too, Robert and I both thought they were quite comfy.

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

Re: Billett Aluminum
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.

Re: Billett Aluminum
