My somewhat new hardware.

The pistol's been in the family for sometime but the grips are new and one of a kind.

Here's one my Colt 1911's with custom birdseye maple grips and bianchi holster

I知 going to get two more 1911痴 soon but this time they値l both be made by Les Baer and serve as matching ballers. Both matching pistols will be fitted with either Amboyna -or- Paela burl grips.

BEAUTIFUL grips! For some reason I though 1911's didn't have that little thumb guard under the hammer and the grip was at more of a 90 degree angle to the barrel and that when those were changed the model number changed. Obviously I'm wrong, so what am I thinking of?

Maybe the Browning Hi-Power?

Although it still has a slight thumb guard under the hammer...

I'll figure it out and post a pic. I must be thinking of something else. Nice grips none the less.

Ironically, John Browning designed the 1911, and he later refined and improved the design into what eventually became the Browning Hi-Power.

Wood grips are nice, but I would really like an Officer's model 1911 in Nickel with Pearl Grips.
