1911 Classic - The Firearms Forum

Hello All

Here is a (1995) Colt Classic Royal Blue finish that I added a pair of Talo wood grips, WC FLGR, Ed Brown Snakeskin mainspring housing & internal WC sear, disconnect, Titanium firing pin with extra power firing pin spring, housing spring. Shoots awesome. Sorry about the poor quality pics.

That is extra purdy. Those grips are a must have IMO.

CC45 · 08-07-2012, 08:17 PM

Yes I agree, Talo makes beautiful wood grips.

The problem with a nice looking gun like that is you don't want to mess it up. I have some guns that I holster and pack, and then other ones that only see a rug. However, it is tempting to holster them.

This one here only goes to the range for some fun shooting. I never carry or holster it.

That is a piece of art, Thanks for sharing.

Ya, I can see why.

Wow, what a looker.

mesinge2 · 08-12-2012, 04:11 PM

Absolutely too beautiful!!!!

Can I have it?

CC45 · 08-12-2012, 06:29 PM

Yes, you can have it Mesinge2. Take a look at the John Browning Commemorative I posted. It's more beautiful than this one. Even with a shitty camera these Colts look good in pictures!

Tmergen24 · 08-12-2012, 06:31 PM

That there is a perfect example of why I love guns.

Hey Guys, Tomorrow I am going to post a Colt Series 70 (100 year roll mark) that I had polished to a bright mirror finish. If nothing else I will be able to shave in it!

dcriner · 08-12-2012, 07:07 PM

To my eye, it's a bit too decorative. I prefer plain pistols that look like shooters. Just me.

I have one like that, maybe not polished to a mirror finish but its one of my favorites.

Nice grips on both guns.
