I feel like I owe myself a nice 1911 after having many run of the mill production models. I saw this one at one of our local shops and, after wiping the drool from my chin, went home and am strongly considering going back and picking it up. It is a different but attractive design. I like the looks even though it is a bit "pimpy". What say you?

And, of course, I would have to load it with this ammo.....to get the silver/black contrast

I like the thought process, I'm pretty sure I deserve one as well. Now, how to convince Mrs. Whistler...

Nice if a bit flashy!

For $1800 I would want performance enhancing features that this one is lacking.

But I get it, sometimes a gun’s looks will draw me in like a Siren’s song.

Thats not too far off from some semi-custom 1911's, and i don't think I'd want to drop that much on a series 80
