1911 with Gos

.45 Auto Colt 1927 Argentine, not to be confused with the Baliester Molina which was not a 1911, not designed by John Moses Browning, and not approved by Colt. This one has only the modern additions which actually contribute to function. It has a nicely worn finish, a good trigger, and is tight as a new gun for accuracy, but feeds all ammo effortlessly, from military ball to Hydra- shocks. New grips scrimshawed to Japanese Goshawk design, custom work by Hogue Grips. Special thanks to Rosalie Joyce there for her help.

Very nice. I want a vintage(ish) 1911, but thus far have not run across any that I can afford. Had a chance a few years back at an Ithaca-produced WWII 1911, but, as the saying goes, I had too much month at the end of my money to afford it...

If you can find one like this you may be surprised.
