Is this 1911 safe to shoot?

[JESSCLOKES]

I would think so. Good cleaning and a nice oil coat. Bang bang!!

What's the story behind this 1911?

I picked it up about a month and a half ago its my firts gun my dad has owned several colt 1911's so im not new to them always had love for colts

[JESSCLOKES]

How about now?

[JESSCLOKES]

I'll go two NOS (New old stock) mags still in the packaging. Is your pistol nickel plated?

The other side doesn't have the colt medallion

How about now?

I hate to say this... Those stocks look great on your gun.

[JESSCLOKES]

Yes its nickel plated

[CrippledPidgeon]

Yes its nickel plated

Looks like some of the plating is flaking off.

[JESSCLOKES]

Thanks for the mags cannon

[m98]

looks okay to shoot. the critical areas seems to still be intact. just do a major scrub over i mean everything........and toss those grips......makes you kinda look cartelish..lol

[Gutz]

Wanna sell it?

[cannon]

Thanks for the mags cannon

Thanks for the grips. They look and feel great on the Colt.

Seems to be a hard run firearm. With that much neglect it might be safe but sure wouldn't be my 1st choice.

[JESSCLOKES]

Wanna sell it?

Nope

[JESSCLOKES]

Thanks for the grips. They look and feel great on the Colt.

Lets see some pictures

I disassembled it completly everything looks good no cracks im waiting on a cleaning kit i ordered i may put some faux ivory or pearl grips im just having trouble finding them with a nickel medallion

I bought it from a fellow calguner not too long ago

"They're ivory. Only a pimp from a cheap New Orleans whorehouse would carry a pearl-handled pistol."

LOL

Dammit, you beat me to it.

[JESSCLOKES]

Dammit, you beat me to it.

Cannon convinced me no pearl go with ivory
