I had one of the Series 70 Colts that was pretty finicky, so when my Father-in-Law gave us his WWII P.T.O. Commemorative, I was anxious to try it out. It shot circles around my Series 70 and operates well with a variety of bullet designs, so the plain one got sold. I installed Novak combat sights, some Kimber checkered grip panels, and an extended safety (since this pic was taken). Nice Sunday-go-to-meeting-gun.

I have since put a skeletonized trigger pad on it. I hated the straight pad on it.
This is NOT the Performance Center model.

Here's the Charles Daley I picked up back in October. The bbl it came with had a crummy bore and after posting a question on one of the 1911 forums the president of Charles Daley (Michael Kassnar) PM'd me.
He sent a call tag and within 2 weeks I had my gun back with a brand new bbl. I thought that was pretty cool.76

Had one on my Para (in the pic). Ugly as all get out, but I found it forces me to use my finger pad rather than the joint. Long, flat triggers are my favorite. The Para one is a Dawson, made only for fatties. Hard to find a single stack long, flat. Brownells is hit and miss. Sometimes they have them, sometimes not.

Colt Sistema
Picked it up in the gun show parking lot for $150.
No finish left whatsoever, but it shoots OK.
I bought it to learn some 1911 gunsmithing skills on.

That kinda looks like that GP100 Freak picked up awhile back. When you say you picked it up in the parking lot, did it happen to be under a truck tire? Just kidding, I love guns that show they've been used! Nothing better on a gun than holster wear showing it ain't been sitting in a gun safe its whole life.

This is my faorite 1911, believe it or not. It's just a plain jane Springfield WWII re-issue jobber. I like everything about it the way it is.

Wish I took pics of my Old Kimber Eclipse.
Suppose I'll have to get another Kimber at some point, or a Wilson if I could ever afford it.

Here is my Delta Elite. Some days it is a 10mm. Othertimes it is a .40 S&W. In this picture, it is a 357 SIG. Some times I load my 357 SIGs to 10mm length, and call it a 357 Grendelbane!
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/grendelbane6/deltaelite357sig.jpg
It has also been a 9x19, but don't tell any one, because that is supposed to be unpossible.

Here are a couple of home builds. The parkerized frame is a Doublestar frame with a genuine Colt slide, in .45 ACP. Sort of an economy build. The two-tone is a 9x23mm Winchester, again with genuine Colt slide, (wasn't E-Bay wonderful at one time?), though some times it is also a .38 Super, and some times a 9x19.
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/grendelbane6/45and9x23.jpg
I am considering a long slide for my next project. Some times these projects move slowly, however.

Nice collection there Grendelbane.
welcome.
grendelbane
09-08-2008, 10:37 PM
Might as well show this one, too. The frame still carries the original Colt blue, but the slide was so worn and blotched that I used it for an experiment in rust bluing. This one didn't want to co-operate, but it was still a big improvement over what I had before. I understand that Sprinfield Armory did actually rust blue some M1911s.
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/grendelbane6/38superrustbluegammaJPG.jpg
Another .38 Super slide I tried to rust blue turned out much better. Variation in steel is the only reason I can come up with, as I was using Pilkington's blue on both of them, and every other condition was identical. Now if I can just find an old worn shotgun to practice my rust bluing techniques on. That would be a better subject, I think.
