First gun I ever bought. It's been used hard and taken care of though. After I got it I put at least somewhere in the neighborhood of 500-800 rounds a week for about a year and a half through it. Now a days I can barely afford to shoot it. I bought it used from a member on here and have never had a single malfunction. |

I'm pleasantly surprised the grip doesn't feel as thick as some say it is, although since this is my first 1911 maybe it helps that I don't have a single-stack to compare it to. |

My stock Warthog and re-finished .45 LTC. I bought the LTC used this past November. The factory coyote brown finish was badly worn so I sent it off to Robar for their NP3 Plus finish on the frame, slide, and internals with Roguard accents. I also had them stipple the front strap. The first pic shows what the LTC would have looked like when it was new.

my new baby, fresh from the FFL! 
anyway i can get those scratches out of the slide? i think it's a gorgeous pistol but it will look more gorgeous if it's all polished/buffed up 
also my first 1911; the guys on that forum said it's 'not a good pistol and not a REAL 1911' 
whatever, i got what i wanted. 14+1 > 7+1 IMO 
also sorry for bad cellphone pics

This winter's project; a new USPSA Limited Class gun for me.
Starting point; one of the Para display guns (P16-40) that a retailer ran on sale: 
A new rear sight: 
A new front sight: 
New FCG, grip safety, ambi safety, mag catch and mag well: 
A few hours later (well.... hours over the course of several days): 
Today I did a non-slip treatment to the factory grips (Decon plastic epoxy and Black Beauty blasting media) and anti-skid tape on the front strap:

My GI Expert, with some of my Chip McCormick Powermags. The Para mags have never jammed, but I like the CMC mags for carry. Personal preference.
And yes, I do carry this often. 
FWIW, there would be a lot more posters if the tier-1 fanboys didn't take their butthurt out on Para owners. "My gun won't run." "That's okay it's a (insert $$$ brand here). Change out this, this, and this and it'll be fine." "WTF, my Para never does that. It's never been modded and runs fine." "Para, OMG what a POS!"

A few better pictures, added a Wilson extended slide stop and Hogue rubber monogrip, loving the sights too, and she runs smooth. Much joy.
Update: Added a Pachmayr arched "rubberized" mainspring housing as well.

This was a handgun that was part of a special order to commemorate 3rd Brigade, 101st Airborne 2010-2011 deployment to Afghanistan. There have been a number of issues with these ranging from broken safety to the weapon not coming apart. These are the pictures of my weapon, which ended up with a broken safety.

Who is doing the unit/agency engraving on these guns? Are they special order runs from P.O.?
I'd like to get something similar, but on a non-P.O. 1911. Is there anyone doing this kind of work? |

I picked this one up at a pawn shop. Looks to be from the 3rd Stryker Brigade here at JBLM. I probably overpaid, but any hi-cap 45's are hard to find locally unless you are military or LEO. Looks pretty clean inside, now I just need some more mags
The finish sure wears of the slide lock and safety pretty easily, may have to see about getting them re-coated with something more durable that won't wear off with holster use. I looked at several 1911's but I really liked the way this fit my hand and the trigger seems real smooth. I hope to test fire it later today!
