Absolutely BEAUTIFUL custom 1911 (pics inside)

[TGO David]

First and foremost, this is NOT my gun and I do not know the owner. I am merely reposting the owner's original post from another forum that I frequent. I cannot answer any questions about the firearm and am simply presenting the photos here for your enjoyment.

That said, commence drooling!

This was a rebuild of a Officer Frame/BBL length that ate itself to death, is now an Officer Frame/Commander Bbl build on a capsian slide, original colt frame:

Ray Harms is the Pistolsmith, Ed Strange of Wicked Grips made the grips

Beautiful. Wonder how many Glocks that would have bought....

I'd say at least five or six at the current going rate.

That's one of the things I love about an all metal pistol. you can do so much more with it than you can do with a polymer/plastic pistol.

or at least its easier to do more interesting things with a pistol, like a 1911 as opposed to a glock.

Thats a damn sexy 1911

I believe that is Gemini Custom work?, they do awesome 1911 work as can be seen in these pictures, beautiful pistol!

Unless Ray Harms works for Gemini Custom, no.

Nice pics.

If you really want to see some more that will make you want to save your pennies, check out Louder Than Words. That's the 'industry' forum for showcasing unreal custom 1911s and High Powers.

That is so nice.

As for the grips and not to do any advertising that shouldn't be done, there is a guy on another forum I used to frequent that makes some pretty nice grips. He sells them through www.wickedgrips.com

[towerclimber37]

LOL! brian, they already put up that link...but thanks again! I love going there!!!

Yep... he's the guy responsible for the grips on that particular 1911. I love them, but I bet I'd cringe if I saw what they cost the owner of the 1911.

Wow nice post Tungsten...that is one beautiful piece of machinery...problem is after being that nice I would never want to shoot it.

thanks for sharing wicked grips web site. i'm going to order a set or two today.

Honestly for what he charges for pure custom grips(the really cool sh*t) I think I would look elsewhere.

[paincave_2000]

Cool.

[Guest Linoge]

Good grief that is gorgeous. So going to have to take the plunge into a 1911 one of these days... one of these days.

Look all you want, you won't find better custom one off work.

[Magiccarpetrides]

I guess my point is unless you step up to the $375+ realm the grips really dont look all that custom and for that coin well...you could buy some plastic fantastic firearm instead. Then again maybe the whole 1911 bug hasnt bit me full force as im actually content at the moment with not modifying mine a bit.

[Guest rogue]

sure does look great , if I was a criminal I would not like looking down the buisness end of that big barrel , enjoy your toy, rogue

The more I look at that 1911, the more it makes me
