i think 1911's are the best looking hanguns ever made. i just bought a springfield milspec stainless steel 1911a1. it has cocobolo wood grips with the springfield cannons on 'em. beautiful! i'll post a picture here shortly. i've already decided i need another one! what do you think are the best looking 1911's? i personally love the way Kimber's two-tones look.

pictures welcome!
 
Les Baer Monolith commander, blued with NO fcs and in .38 super please! I have dirty dreams at night about this gun:rolleyes:
 
If you love 1911s then one day you need a custom. Make it just the way you want it and it will be your favorite thing in the safe. Here's my Caspian commander in .40S&W.

i didn't know if i'd like it, so i tried it on 1 of them first, then after some time i found i liked the flat trigger better than the long curved trigger, so they all got switched.
 
Ive shot a friends and during faster drills, i noticed that even if my finger didn't fall directly center on the trigger, the pull felt the same. I like em' i just haven't made the jump to buy them and start switching them out
 
that's exactly why i switched. the flat trigger also doesn't force my finger to the center of the trigger like the long curved does.
 
those are Pierce grips. fairly inexpensive also, around 14.00 shipped.

Pretty much any black/blued 1911 without front cocking serrations looks good to me.
