God's Gun: Official 1911 Picture Thread

Something is wrong with me; why do I have multiple copies of 'the same gun'? Also, playing around with some spare wood grips, I kinda like a lighter (probably not blonde) wood grip for this stainless. I'm on the hunt...

Do you guy's like that skateboard tape on the front grip portion? Does it make a big difference or is it just another personal preference thing?

Had it on one of my comp guns many years back. Ended up taking it off - just didn't like the feel. Others continued to use it.

Very nice...and I agree, that stainless would look great with a lighter-colored grip. Here's the set of grips I fell for:

Good luck in your search!

One bad thing about havin' the addiction at my level is that the next step is "dressin' 'em up"....that can be as expensive as some of the guns!!

If it's actual folded steel, I'm afraid to ask the price.

Re-read the article, $6,000

That's actually much cheaper than I would expect. Some Damascus steel knives can cost about that. Some of the Damascus steel guns I've seen in the past were in the tens of thousands.

Running the Standard Manufacturing Damascus 1911 Through the Gunsite Academy Gauntlet

Shooting a pretty pistol is like taking the Mona Lisa out on a date to see what that smile is all about. And make no mistake, Standard Manufacturing’s Damascus 1911 is a very pretty pistol. The controls are nitre blued, in a nod back to the earliest 1911s, while both the slide and frame are made...

TRN I thought you were a serious 1911 gut but I count only 26 in that safe. Nice starter collection.
