Look like them to me… That’s what I put on my son’s Sig 1911:
It’s actually a really good pistol for the money despite the MIM guts. I found one with a really tight slide-to-frame fit, and spent a weekend lapping that in before fitting a WC trigger and main spring:
Really great gun for < $1K , even with the new trigger:

I bought several Kimbers (Mimbers, if you prefer), 20 or so years all but one were a mistake. That one survived several years of competition. Maybe 60k. Finish has lots of “character.” Overhauled with WC parts. Doesn't see much range time, but I plan to keep.
I have VZs on five or six.
Yeah, I don’t own any, but have fixed a few Kimbers for various friends and family members. They seem to be really hit or miss in the QC department; or at least they were. You might get a perfect one, or you might get a piece of shit that never shoots right.
I really like replacing stuff with WC parts. Probably better stuff out there now, but the WC stuff just flat works.
One more “1911” … OG STI Staccato-C single stack in 9mm, my third favorite pistol!
Was my primary carry gun, then truck gun for a while because it shoots so damn well, and easy. Tend to carry either a G19 or P320 with a lot more capacity, but a lot less style, these days with all the storm clouds on the horizon…
That single-stack Staccato is nice though, so smooth…and super easy to CCW:
That Kimber Stainless Gold Combat did not start life as a reliable pistol. You guys probably remember Kimber's failed attempt at external extractors. Well this was one of those. It was a jamomatic. I told Kimber that it was my off duty carry and therefore must be absolutely reliable so they replaced the slide with an internal extractor for free. Since then it has been an absolutely reliable pistol through roughly 30,000 rounds. Accuracy started to deteriorate and I had my gunsmith replace the barrel bushing which returned accuracy to 100%. Kimber has replaced the faded nightsights twice now.

I have two Dawson Precision STIs (well before Staccato). One 9, one 45. Keepers.
Still 1911 page? My first pistol after having borrowed one several years earlier. Got used to waiting lists with this one.

Nope, it's the 1912 page. But don't tell those yokels on the sub lost page or they'll make it a crossover.
Never mix lethal and non lethal. Period. End of story. Let see him do that under stress. How many lawsuits happen from "I meant to use my taser"?
Oh crud. Mine’s a bit of a 1911-Hi Power hybrid anyway so it strictly doesn’t belong.
"Not every competition is a gunfight, but every gunfight is a competition". A comment/quote I picked up from one of the guys on a Wilson Combat video. Can't think of the guys name at the moment.
Stars out again this evening by the fire pit.
Shame on you being embarrassed of your Hi Power pronouns. There is room here for EveRyONe.

Ok, the proudly preferred pronoun is now "Mutt" - The Coonan is no longer a 1911-Hi Power hybrid.
This thing came out 2010 or so. I remember one of our State Training commission pouges thinking it would be a great idea.
My Dad toted this in WWll. Circa 1917.
When I got out of the Navy i shot a magazine of ball , functioned nicely , cleaned it , carried it until I bought something else. Didn’t feel unprotected at all.
Another 45 , S&W model 1917 …manuf. 1917 also

I am a little late to the game, but I have been busy dealing with other things.
Anyway . . . didn't we do something like this in the MPT? HINT: I know we did because I posted this photo there.

True story, we had a cat that looked exactly like that "adopt" us to be their caregiver.

In 1972, I saw a beat up one for sale for $7,000.00. Coulda, shoulda, woulda.......
There were quite a few 300SLR's built... they arent worth as much as this car, although they are still pricey.In 1972, I saw a beat up one for sale for $7,000.00. Coulda, shoulda, woulda.......
This is one of two "Sterling Moss" SLR's...
