I'm at the time and age in my life where I don't have the money to own any safe queens -every gun I got is a working gun. "It's a tool not a jewel" applies here. I work at a range/gun shop in SoCal and it's a workhorse 1911 that I carry, teach, and train with on a daily basis. Thought you guys would like to see a well worn 1911. I first bought it off the rental wall at work, then dumped a bunch of time and money into upgrading it into the EXACT 1911 I wanted -it starting life as a stock Springfield Mil-Spec but it's changed quite a bit. Enjoy!
Showing a little bit of holster wear.
The business end.
The Ed Brown grips have seen better days.
I'm not afraid push myself and my guns to the failure point to find out where that is exactly.
Another tac night with the employees after work.
A reliability test I did for my youtube channel -it went pretty far before we started to have problems but every gun jams at some point -you have to go out and find that point.
Never know what lesson/class could pop up during the day, so I bring it all. I have a bunch of metal 30s from the Army days so I had them permanently modified to only hold ten rounds -might as well get use out of them.
It shoots great and I love it. Sometimes it's a pain to carry all day but most the time I'm glad to have it. I've had several regulars and a couple employees offer to buy it but I don't think I could ever sell it. I've spent a lot of money and time getting the right training, tools, and jigs to properly work on the 1911 and I literally made this one up just for me personally. Hope you guys enjoyed the look, I'm open for any questions!
