Wow "31".......great looking pair of siblings and a nice piece of photography! I have the "twin" to the one in black.....

I became very tired of pacing the floor so decided this morning around 11AM that I'd clean the Taurus PT1911 9mm and the Kahr CW .45 pistol. Gathered all supplies including pistols on work bench in wash room. Poured mineral spirits (low odor) into Leigh's best baking dish so I could soak all...

[COLOR="DarkGreen"]Yeah, but the goofy stamped trigger guard seems like an afterthought and that combined with the rotary knob for the barrel nut (which for me loosens frequently) are not attractive to my eye. [/COLOR Guess that's the reason I think they're purty since I can relate to being...

I agree on the not being ugly but as always, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I personally think the old HS were some of the sharpest looking pistols made but I also think the 1950-1959 automobiles are the sharpest looking cars ever built. However I'm looking through eyes that are almost...

John Stinson Jr. is the noted "expert" on older High Standard pistols. The note below was copied directly from one of his quotes. He addresses the 102 and later models so you may be safe with yours. Also you might want to to to RimfireCentral.com and search your question for more info than...

When you say that it wouldn't have it, I'm not quite sure what the problems were.... I have a mid-60's High Standard Sharpshooter with Bull Barrel that I absolutely love to shoot. It's the most accurate pistol in my safe. I only run subsonic through it.....Wolf Match Target or...

Hey Lubricant I couldn't have said it better and particularly since I retired from Deere & company after 30 years. Have a Springfield Loaded .45 and yes, a lowly but fantastic Taurus PT1911 9mm. I may trade my other pistols but I'll own these two until I wake up on the wrong side of the dirt...

I'm a tad late.... in my response but that is absolutely beautiful work. I have a CW45 and a CW9 that I carry in Mitch Rosen slide holsters. Both are excellent shooters but sure not to be used as range guns if you have arthritic hands! I suspicion though in a defensive situation, hand pain...

Well, CZGuy, I have a reeeeeal problem. I already have a CZ-75B black version and was perfectly happy until that Fritz feller had to show off his stainless with all those fancy stage crutches he used around it. And GZOh didn't help matters any. Now I see I have three choices.....1. Keep...

Ahhhh, no problem.....just glad to be a blessing !

Schmeky, go ahead and "bite the bullet". Have it shipped up here to me and I'll check it out, also break it in for you so all you'll have to do is enjoy............................................when you get it......:evil:

Just checked....they're out of them.....same thing when I checked a couple of months ago.....guess I need to check more often!

WOW, as we say in Arkansas, that's downright purty!!

I'm surprised that some of the single fellers out there haven't asked if she has a sister!!!! Congratulations on the new addition to the vault!

Ravot..... An Idiot Mark is when you are reassembling the prettiest, smartest looking 1911 that you have ever seen and are in the process of reinstalling the slide stop pin. If you're not careful, you will pivot the pin back and forth while it's resting on the frame and will immediately...
