The pistol's been in the family for sometime but the grips are new and one of a kind.

Here's one my Colt 1911's with custom birdseye maple grips and bianchi holster





I’m going to get two more 1911’s soon but this time they’ll both be made by Les Baer and serve as matching ballers. Both matching pistols will be fitted with either Amboyna -or- Paela burl grips.

 

that's quite an old *****

Damn that looks sweet. Nice work.

 

BEAUTIFUL grips! For some reason I though 1911's didn't have that little thumb guard under the hammer and the grip was at more of a 90 degree angle to the barrel and that when those were changed the model number changed. Obviously I'm wrong, so what am I thinking of?

Maybe the Browning Hi-Power?

Although it still has a slight thumb guard under the hammer...

 

you should put some sweet ledds on it !

 

I'll figure it out and post a pic. I must be thinking of something else. Nice grips none the less.

nice grips...

 

I bet you have 6 you could sell him! muahahhaha

 

 

Ironically, John Browning designed the 1911, and he later refined and improved the design into what eventually became the Browning Hi-Power.

 

Wood grips are nice, but I would really like an Officer's model 1911 in Nickel with Pearl Grips.

 

Eric that thing is a BEAUT!!!!

Congrats on that and getting Les Baers!
