BrianZ06 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) This is what my wife just bought me for our 25th anniversary. She knows I like 1911's and my Springfield Champion 4" is with a gunsmith right now having work done. I have other guns to keep me busy but I think she knew I was having 1911 withdrawals. I also sold a 1911 A1 5" a while back and I missed it a lot. I was surprised to say the least.

Doc1647545523 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 How could you be having a silver anniversary? Did you get married when you were 6? Seriously, congrats Brian, both on your happy marriage and on having such a thoughtful wife to get you such a great gift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentStateTsi Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Nice! How do those grips feel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianZ06 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 The grips had to much bite so I ran over them with some sandpaper and a refinish with some flat black stain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentStateTsi Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 I was wondering. I held a TRP but ended up with the MC operator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianZ06 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I refinished the grips in satin black. I like this better. What do you think. I know color is not important. I'm just playing around. Going to try to do some shooting tomorrow. http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc178/1fstws6/TRP1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPFSTheFett Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 The one she got me was a Wilson Combat CQB. I also have a Kimber ultra carry 3". I shoot my Kimber better lol. Though I also have a few thousand rounds through the Kimber and maybe 200 on the Wilson. Mark and I are members at blackwing. If you ever have a weekday morning or afternoon off and want to shoot, we'll be down. Play some battleship . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For right now my 4" Champion will do. I got tied up at a friends house on my way home from work so I did not get to go to blackwing. I'm definitely down for a meet up with you guys sometime. I would love to shoot your 3" Kimber. I was looking at a Sig Ultra Compact 1911 they look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPFSTheFett Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Here is both my 1911's. I removed the crimson trace grips (hated the laser) and put Wilson Combats on it. Much nicer for shooting. http://imageshack.us/a/img820/5888/1911s.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianZ06 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 That is a nice pair of 1911's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
