A better picture, had pachs on it for the longest time but decided to splurge on some VZs. Haven’t shot it yet with them on it, but they are comfortably aggressive, more so than the rosewood double diamonds that were on my Colt XSE ( I miss that gun. )

I had wanted a TRP for some time, but SA's shenanigans had soured me from buying anything new from them. However, I came across this used example for a good deal and I jumped on it. It appears to have been made about 10 years ago, it has some holster wear, nicks in the checkering, and has seen a decent amount of shooting, but this thing is still tight and an incredible shooter. The action is smooth as glass. Tritium in the sights is still going strong. I put on some VZ Aliens in grey/black.

I think Jason's backlogged until like 2030 or something (joking).

I'll have a drink with him and he can teach me how to butcher my guns a little less badly.

Those grips look great, especially with the two tone.  What brand/wood are they?

Here's a pic of exceptional contrast and a bit of a time warp showing how far the 1911 platform has come.

The 1911 is a vintage Ithaca that my father carried in Vietnam and the 2011 is my new STI DVC Omni.

My new Dan Wesson V-Bob, my first entry in the high end range of pistol's.  I hate the cliche but shooting & handling this weapon is as easy and comfortable as connecting with an old friend...

Grandpa's aircrew issue 1911a1 was bequeathed to me today.  He was a bomber navigator during WWII.

Seems to be in fine condition.  I only became aware of it's existence a couple years ago.

Truly precious heirloom, glad you are custodian of it.

What aircraft did he fly on? What Group and where?

At a glance it looks original and little used, a 3rd logo Rand with darkened minor parts appropriate for this era and wear patterns. It would be an extra treat if the magazine had a spot welded spine, the General Shaver Division of Rand, the lack of such a mag does not make it incorrect, Risdon, M.S. Little and Scovill were issued/used with this weapon (Colt's magazine sub-contracts marked C-R, C-L and C-S).

Cant see the serial number to know shipping date/destination (our Clawson Bible has that data), but consider;

Many Union Switch were issued to aircrew and lost over Europe, Africa and the Med.
Same with Rand's, one of only two companies (US&S) making large-issue Service Pistols not building weapons in civilian life.
Rand made typewriters, electric shavers and accessories.

Rand was the highest US production pistol of WWII yet early War quality was inconsistent and many quotas missed.

A manufacturer of relatively complex civilian products, Rand knew how to adapt. They corrected their flaws and outperformed all other sidearm companies; over a four month period during November and December 1944, January and February 1945,
Remington Rand produced a staggering 50,000 pistols per month.

We are very fond of this Ordnance District Inspector, his initials are found on Thompsons and numerous other items.

I like what Bob Miller did with mine....

Finish looks a tiny "two-toney" only because I sent it back to bob for a beavertail.  I had really wanted a standard GS to work for a retro-feel, but I really need the beavertail.
