My Microtech arrived today! What a kick-ass little blade! Lightly used, but 2/3 the price of new. Thus rounding out my new EDC items... I left out the spare mag and some other misc. stuff, but I figured some decent 1911 pr0n nonetheless.
My Black and Silver Trio
The SA Loaded has performed very well. My only major parts upgrade will be some different sights...likely the YB rear and maybe gold front. Filled with TAP goodness, it's a welcome 3lb. addition to my belt. I'll eventually get around to refinishing it, but since it's stainless underneath... Kind of like the Millenium Falcon - "Doesn't look like much, but she's got it where it counts"
What can be said about the VMII that hasn't already? This one was reportedly boned to fit the less-cut frame of the older SAs like mine. This is my first leather holster - now I know what the all hub-bub was about! Currently looped around a 5 stitch Wilderness Instructor belt.
The "custom" Gerber was a gift from my better half. What a saint - she had to search everywhere to find black, and then the pliers were messed up! A quick call to Gerber resulted in a correct, albeit silver set...that I think sets it off well.
Just wanted to share, Thanks for lookin'!

Very nice! I've been wanting a MicroTech myself.
And that SA 1911 looks beautifully used! Wow. That's got some stories I'm sure.
