Got a very nice Colt 1911 off Pete (flatrajectory) the other week along with a couple of other items, I really like this and got it to do a bit of messing around with .. first i changed the grips then polished the slide two simple things that anyone can do that will totally transform the gun ..... i have bought myself an engraver and after ive had practice and if i feel i can do it i plan to do some engraving onto the newly polished slide .... fingers and toes crossed chaps     |

Very nice mate, loving the grips They are nice grips, I've ordered myself a new set but they won't get delivered till the end of August/beginning of September.....  I don't know what it is with 1911s but I seem to buy a new set of grips every couple of months, I see a nice set at a good price and just think,"Why the hell not",lol   |

Very nice mate, loving the grips i used to engrave glass many years ago and always meant to have another bash at it ... so i thought i would do something with this 1911. i also dabbled a bit in drawing , mainly fantasy artwork       |

Metal work, wood work, drawing, engraving, all beyond me, but awed and envious of your talents. No wonder you reckon anyone could polish a gun like you have. Trust me I couldn’t!

Yeah, sorry ! I should have done that, they were offering me a small (couple of quid) price reduction on these so I don't know if that offer is still running but all in they cost me £16.43 including delivery.... www.aliexpress.com/item/10000284825133.html?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.0.0.55ed4c7fUKwuEL |
