Sixgun Nut
Couple weeks ago I did some trading for a couple new leverguns. A Rossi R95 was in stock but the R92 had to be ordered. When I was there I looked a couple Standard 1911's. One in full blue, the other completely color cased. I realized they had a really nice combination of traditional and modern features. I think the full color case model is a bit much and really the wrong platform for that sort of finish but was totally enamored of the blued one, so when I went by yesterday to pick up the Rossi I traded a Colt Gov't model from several years ago for the Standard. They are really nice guns for the money and come with decent checkered walnut grips but I had this set of ivories just waiting for such an opportunity. I had originally gotten them for my Springfield Range Officer but did not want to modify them for the extended safety. Since they're cut for a magwell and I had to clearance them for the Standard's extended safety anyway, I'm going to get some stags for the Standard and put the ivory on my Springfield. It was sunny today so the pics don't do it justice.
