That's gorgeous!I'm down to ~15 1911s, most are early. Here's a Pre-70 LW Commander I have Mast Pistol Smith John Harrison build me some years ago. rather than checkering, I went with serrations... His work is incredible...

I believe that that his grandfather had it chromed when he got back from the war. I have no idea what happened to it after he passed away last year, from leukemia.
RIP Paul
To follow up on my own post my Ruger ran fine with the "bad" factory magazine yesterday. No changes to the gun or magazine - maybe just a break-in issue?I have the lightweight Ruger Commander. It has been disappointing. Ejected empties into my forehead (big burr at the end the extractor channel -
Very Nice

Your favorite 1911 you own w/pictures? N Why is this your favorite?
The Tisas guns are a good copy for the US GI 1911-A1, except for the profile of the grip safety. Hammer is enough different but keeps the spirit of the GI gun well enough. There is the lowered and properly flared ejection port (unlike others’ cosmetic flares) and the beveled magwell…but they are enhancements.Being new to MDShooters I'm not sure where to start. I am looking for advice about purchasing several different guns both rifles and pistols.
I know what I want. I just need to know where to get the best deal and reputable gunsmithing services...
Tisas .45 is one of the guns I am interested in. Do you believe it is an exact copy? I know Clark 1911 gunsmiths won't work on Rock Island. But they didn't mention Tisas.
