My gun in it’s current form. It is 32 years old and has seen thousands of rounds through it. You can tell it is pretty well worn from years of use. It is a thoroughly modern 1911 in all aspects except for it’s age. I think this is a beautiful looking gun despite the holster wear. Like an old small-block Chevy or Ford built for racing, only the slide and frame are still the original parts. Everything else has been modified or replaced over the years. But if you ask me, you are better off buying a modern 1911 with all the modern features stock. It will be way better made than getting a classic Colt and building it but the 1911 is the Camaro of pistols and there are tons of aftermarket parts for them. This old gun is a prime example of classic custom 1911 gunsmithing. There are plenty of faults that compromised the reliability and accuracy of old 1911’s and this gun addresses all of them.
