It would help if we could read what was on the side to better help you.

If you got the picture somewhere off the internet, use the site to figure out what it is....This photo was probably on a product page of some sort.

LaBrama Custom Guns...Roberto Tagle's shop.

You won't find them stateside...company is based out of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

It is most likely based off of an STI/SVI Unique Slide mated to a 2011 frame though if that helps you.
 
Re: Help me identify this please

Thanks Ord! I have no idea where I found the original pic since it was quite a while ago. I've been looking for some time now for where I found the original. I really like the style of it and want something similar for a 1911. What are most peoples thoughts on the 2011's?
 
Re: Help me identify this please

I love all things 2011!!! I have been running different variations of STI/SVI framed pistols for years. There are factory offerings available direct from STI here:

There are too many custom shops working with the 2011 frame to mention, but you can get everything from mild to WIIIILLLLLDDDD done that you can imagine. Here are just a few custom shops I have had experience with over the years:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Mr blasty</div><div class="ubbcode-body">What would you say some of the pros and cons are in your opinion between the 1911 and the 2011? </div></div>

The primary and most obvious difference is the capacity of each, with the 2011 being a high-cap, double-stack frame and the 1911 being a single-stack frame. For example, on a 1911 in .45acp, you get 7-8rnd flush fit mags while the 2011 affords you 12 rounds. The capacities increase dramatically in 9mm and 40. The 2011 frames/pistols were really born from competition needs/wants where high capacity is key (you can run 26+ rounds of 9mm in a 170mm open gun mag)! The sacrifice/con with the high capacity is that you increase the perceived size, weight and grip area which isn't always a good thing depending on the shooter or role that the pistol is meant to fill. Dimensionally, the pistols aren't all that different, but the 2011 definitely feels more "bulky" or "blocky" than the 1911.
 
Re: Help me identify this please

I'm not a big Glock guy by any means so I may not be the best person to answer that question, but comparing a 2011 to a full-frame model like the 21, I would rank them as comparable in terms of the width/girth of the pistol. However, the geometry of the 2011 grip is much different than the Glock and therefore, it will likely "feel" a little bigger than the Glock to most people.

The best advice I can give you is to get on STI's site and pull up a list of stocking dealers in MN. Find one that is within a reasonable distance to you and take a drive down to handle one in person. They certainly aren't for everyone, but personally, I really like the feel of the 2011 pistols I own.
