    Been a long time since I posted up in here. Life/busy.

    This is the latest one right off the surface grinder to remove the roll marks and serrations. SA stainless loaded. Now a blank slate.
    It has the disco relief cut and the double angle relief cut on the bottom of the slide. Stan Chen magwell is done. Brain storming whet to do about some custom serrations.

    Very nice. I used to have one of those repros as well as a couple of the carbonia blue WWI repros. I still could smack myself for selling them.

    Thanks to this thread it reminded me to check the auction sites. I finally found my birth year Colt 1911. These 1960's era Colts are hard to find and I have been searching for 5 years at least. Super stoked to get it in my hands.

    I really admire the 1911. One of my first handguns was a SA ultra-compact V10 stainless. Really liked it and wish I never traded it off. Currently I only own 2. The STI Ranger II 45ACP is a joy to shoot. Bought it years ago with the idea that I would carry it. Never happened. The CZ I just got about a month ago. I love CZ handguns, so this was a great find for me. Quality is excellent! Hope to get some rounds through it soon. I would also like to get a Dan Wesson Specialist 45 as well.

    I have 2 CZ 1911's. They are pretty stellar pieces.

    Since CZ owns Dan Wesson, I wonder if there are any commonalities/similarities between their 1911’s?

    From what I can Find CZ only made 1000 of these 1911s and then dropped them. I have been told it was due to not making much profit off of them since they did not sell for very high, but are built very quality.

    Worked on this one all afternoon. Softened the blasted finish on the slide and frame. That was a serious hoot...:laughing:
    Also put some weight on the trigger. It will need just a bit more.

    These are basically DW pieces with the CZ roll mark.
