4K+ Worth every penny and then some. Luckily I saved my pennies.  When it elicits a comment like this from Chuck Rogers I know I did well: "Simple.....yet elegant! That is one of THE MOST HANDSOME 1911's I have ever seen!!!!" This is intended to be an heirloom Colt to be passed down from father to son. I just wish my father was still around to shoot it with me. I think about him almost every day, the kindest most gentle man you could ever hope to meet. |

I love they way(style) they undercut the trigger/grip area for the high hand hold. Functional and beautiful.
They must have spent a lot of time straighting the "lines" of that gun...beautiful again. My "stock" Colt's look like a "drunken sailor" was on the machine. Congrats! |

Spoke to Ted Yost and Lew Bonitz today. Ted said he enjoyed the Shot Show, Lew said he regrettably didn't attend due to a cold/flu. Great news is Ted told me that my Signature Series 80 Colt that was displayed at the show will ship next week.

I got to hold your gun at the SHOT Show. I really didn't want to give it back, and almost made a break for the door with it. Well not really but I wanted too!! After seeing your gun in person, I will have a two-tone in the works in the near future.
I have a Yost Signature Commander on order, and it too will be worth every penny. These are the type of guns that are built to last a life time, and I hope someday when I have grandkids, one of them will have it. Again, I loved your gun, and so will you!! |

This is one of the nicest 1911 I've seen yet. That is hard to say. I have seen great works of metal through these forums.
Esmeralda make the most eye appealling grips in the world. Good Job Ted, Jason, and Doc enjoy this work of art. |

Wow, that is beautiful, Doc.
I'm eagerly anticipating the range report for this one! From the look of things, I anticipate it to be stellar. Cheers, kk7sm |

Thanks guys, outstanding! Nice talking to you today Jason. It barely looks like I could fit a single hair between the top of the beavertail and the frame. I just love precision work like that. Next Wednesday can't come soon enough! Regards, Arthur |

Picked up Thursday as promised. ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!!!! I just wish this wasn't "clouded" by my mother's death last Monday which was unfortunately expected, but in her health I believe was for the best. Say a prayer if you will. Thank you.

Doc that is one damn fine handgun...I have just recently discovered Yost..I have one of the Retro rear sights..
That is, IMO, what a carry 1911 should look like....2 tone! Awesome sidearm

Doc- you are looking for Bump for more opinions
I really don't like you (that's not true---I'm just jealous). Every time I see one of your fine guns it reminds me that I have 4 guns in AZ waiting to turn out like one of your guns. Patience may be a virtue, but it is hard waiting. I'm sure it will be worth it. Hey Jason, when you see this ask Ted when he is going to start working on my guns. It's ok--I've been doing this long enough to know that custom guns are worth the wait. Well, the wait is good for other smiths. I just ordered a SA Professional in 10mm to go with the 10mm Ted is building for me. I just keep telling myself that good things come to those who wait. I just hope they don't all come at the same time---my wife will leave me, or try and steal my guns  have fun |
