Okay it looks nice, but a bit too Gucci-Blingy. What's the real-world round count on that gun (sans malfs)?
Here's an old-school, no-bling, working 1911 (WWI battlefield Colt). No malfs.
Just sayin'.

To much bling? The BlackOps pistol is all matte black, and your working 1911 is looking like brushed steel. Sooo, I think you are confused. The blackops looks like an excellent platform. </div></div>
Okay, well, "looks like" doesn't = "is," so the question remains open. Not saying it's not, just wondering how thoroughly the gun's been wrung out. That's why I asked about rd-count.
Second, on the 1911, that's the light from the camera reflecting off old-school bluing on a WWI battlefield Colt (born-on date, late 1917). Blame the picture-taker (me) for that effect.

Uhh....O.K. I have to wonder if you're looking at the same 1911 that everyone else is....Bling? Certainly not part of this 1911.
<span style="font-weight: bold">Bling (or bling-bling) is a slang term popularized in hip hop culture, referring to flashy, ostentatious or elaborate jewelry and ornamented accessories that are carried, worn or installed, such as cell phones or tooth caps.</span>
Since this 1911 isn't gold plated and/or adorned as described above, I don't believe the term "bling" applies.
In addition, you pose a valid question, but quite frankly, if the gun hasn't been "wrung out," it wouldn't appear here. I guarantee everything we do and our rifles and 1911's will stand up against anything else in the industry....regardless of the "born on" date.
Thanks for looking....
