My 1911...

Why did you go through the trouble of obscuring your serial number in the first photo? Especially when it is so clearly visible in the third?
I know what you're thinking, "D@MN DIGITAL CAMERAS!!"

You are exactly right. Fixed just before I saw your post even as I got a similar reaction on another forum.

I'm not really concerned, it was done at the suggestion of family, so I complied.

Almost looks like a rolex anniversary. I was fooled for bit.

Nice gun OP!

Nice gun! I love my Springfields as well!

[Alexander831]

Always wanted a stainless springfield but could never get a decent price so i took a hard left and ended up with a kimber. Congrats op.

Nice piece.

So, what else do you do when its mid-week and you're bored and you've owned a 1911 for 3 days?

[1911R SSS]

Time to polish the trigger bow, makes a really big difference.

Nice gun. I've been drooling over one of these for some time.

Polishing the trigger bow on this gun probably won't make much difference, but it can't hurt.

[HatersLOVEme : )]

I love that flat / matte stainless finish very nice OP!

[bwhited]

Congrates!

Your technique does not look too bad other than using the wrong hand, LOL.
I do see a few issues that could be cleaned up but overall, you are doing well.

[dobek]

You're shooting with the wrong hand - it is much easier right handed

Cool breakdown pic.

It raises many questions.

What is the three fingery looking part on the bottem right. Also what is the textured looking rectangular block to the left of it?

Thanks, 1911 nube here
