My New Commander

I'm more than likely going to take this one apart and change the trigger and add an ambi safety but other than that it sure is a pretty nice shooter.brokenimage

I put those Grey laminated grips on today..Not sure if I'll keep them on or change to something else yet but I think it looks pretty nice and it does group great.

Yeah - I know - I don't take good pics..I hope to improve in that area at some point

Beautiful Colt. I have one just like it except my grips are the rather mundane checkered, not near a pretty as those you have on your gun. Where did you get those grips?

All I can say is :drooling:

I like the look of the grips, and if they feel great I would leave 'em. Very nice gun you've got there.

Thanks!

Most the grips I use I've made but those I got off a guy I met looking through eBay but has a website http://www.gungripguys.com/1911/Index.htm
They make some real nice grips and price them to sell:smt1099

There's an old guy that has an eBay store that has some pretty nice ones. He hand makes out of some really nice woods. I've got a few from him but I've had to check back often to catch the real hard to find woods.

Well, I finally got it out and got it a little dirty. It did it's part as well as it should. Sadly I didn't keep up with my part as well as I thought I should. Here's a snap.
