yes I bought the receiver then took years to finish the pistol. the receiver is based on the match master. the only problem I have with it is finding holsters for it since it has the square trigger guard.

Here's my RIA Tactical with VZ Green Black Linen Micarta grips.

Stock Pin Gun

Here is a Foster frame/slide I built just for pins. But it would make a nice Single Stack class pistol also. I now wears the dark VZ grips. The skip checkered grips have migrated to a 9mm 1911.

My 1911 will make the purists cry.

Well, I just now found Scott's original 1911 porn post. It's an old one but, what the heck. I'll post my pics and my story too.

Sadly my 1911 has no real value other than as a shooter. It has a story. And, I probably had bad advice at a time or two when I was trying to decide what to do. Hopefully I didn't make a bad mistake.
I found my 1911 in the attic of my old house. We had lived there about 4 years and one day I went into the small cramped area of the attic to run cable for a tv upstairs. I found an old brittle paper bag with an unloaded 1911 in it. The S/N and "Property of US Government" had been scratched off. Additionally, someone had scratched their initials into the slide. The finish was about 70% excluding the scratched areas. I was able to make out most of the S/N. BATF confirmed what I was able to make out and provided the last digit for me. That number was 1704XX. Dates the 1911 to the year 1917. There were no marks on it indicating a rebuild and it is possible that it was a WWI battlefield trophy that was written off the books. Of course, it could have also never had a rebuild (or was never marked if it had) and could be a WWII battlefield trophy.
BATF had it a year and a half but as it was never reported as a stolen firearm, I was able to get it back. Of course, it had to have a new S/N (provided by BATF) that I had to have stamped on it.
Several gun shops told me it had no value. A couple (of course) expressed an interest in offering me a hundred or hundred and a half for it. Everyone I talked to said it had no collectors value. Perhaps that is so. I never bothered to research it more. Instead, the first thing I did after getting it back was drop in a new barrel. The old one was pretty well pitted. Cleaned it up, shot it a few times and other than taking it out a couple of times a year for fun, I pretty much put it out of mind until a couple of years ago.
Figuring that it had no collectors value, and seeing how it was really a sweet shooting pistol I figured why not have it rebuilt. I like the 1911 very much. I was introduced to the 1911 many years ago. I carried one in the military and would carry one on duty today if my agency would allow it. Off duty I sometimes carry a Colt Combat Commander. Something about the Colt 45 that I like better than the other 1911 copies.
I had the old 1911 stripped down to bare metal and refinished. Mostly in matte black but with a few parts left in natural finish. It is a phenomenal pistol. I personally think it feels better than my duty Glock 23. I get better results on the range with it than my Glock. It feeds everything I have put through it so far from ball to jhp.
I'm attaching a few photos of the 1911 as it is now. Unfortunately I can't find the pics I took before I had the work done.

I suppose that I should also point out that the person that did the real good job on my 1911 is a friend? And that he does quality work? And, that I would trust my life with any of my firearms he has worked on? What do you think Scott? Would he want the referral out on the board? Ah, probably not. I know he is way to busy as it is. Shame tho. He's a darn good gunsmith. At least in MHO.
We have to go 1911 hunting in a couple of months Scott. I'm getting the new gun itch again. Oh wait, I guess I need to finish the AR's and bring you the computer first. Duh! Still, another 1911? Hard to pass up.

Unfinished 1911 porn

Still in the works
Here is a rough idea of what it will look like when done.
