A snake named Rick got into the safe, the Smiths were very upset.

I always liked the smooth Colt grips on my dad’s Commander from when I was a kid. Finally found someone selling new ones made by Ajax on EBay.Attachment Attached File

I might only handle it with white gloves. And keep a light coat of gun oil on it.

Christmas came early!

Colt Combat Government Model MK IV Series '80 made in 1985, so far installed parts are Colt factory downturned wide grip safety for standard spur hammer, Wilson Combat large mag release button, Wilson magwell funnel - hammer mainspring housing and Wilson 8 round SS mag with extra large extended base pad.

This is a very accurate pistol, it beats my other '73 Gold Cup MKIV National Match .45 ACP target handgun.

My same Colt MK IV Series '80 .45 Gov't model I posted before on 8/11/2021 my 1985 retired competition gun with single port compensator Wilson Combat 5.5" stainless match barrel.

Back then I was using synthetic magwell funnel, now I installed metal Wilson Combat funnel with hammer mainspring housing (30 LPI checkering) and new Wilson extended slide stop.

My new Python with a couple sets of grips. Stags I made from scratch and some Gen 2s that were sanded down that I got for cheap and refinished.

My same Colt MK IV Combat Gov't model I posted on 8/26 installed Wilson Combat extended slide stop, lightweight hammer, torx grip screws & VZ grips.

All my other parts shown in my last picture will be installed by a gunsmith in the next few months.

My one out of three Colt 1911 .45 pistols is Lightweight Officer's ACP, made in 1988 and I bought it new in 1989, nice and light aluminum frame, double recoil springs.

I mainly use it for backup for my other full size Gov't model pistols.

Upgrades shown are Wilson Combat semi extended slide stop, Wilson semi extended (1/16" longer than factory) mag release, Wilson concealment lightweight hammer and I'm using a Wilson 8 rounds SS with extended base pad for target practice.

There are four more updates that I wanted, lightweight aluminum trigger, semi extended ambi thumb safety, concealment beavertail grip safety and Trijicon night sights.

As I look at the picture, I bet you could get a set of similar 1911 grips and trim them down to fit the 25

We must have gotten ours from the same batch! Just got mine and when I ordered they asked if I wanted walnut or jatoba. I picked walnut as I thought the darker wood would look better.

This a grail gun for me. Mk4 Series 80 with the 9mm conversion slide. If you know who used this gun, we can be friends
