A week or two ago, my 1911 found its way back into my possession after a layoff-induced vacation in a friend's collection. I just found the pictures that were taken just after I got it back from the 'smith. It still looks just like that.
It's a Springfield Loaded, with various minor alterations done to it. The pictures are the handiwork of Tamara and her Sony Mavica.
Muzzle end; hand-fitted MGW match bushing:
Recontoured front strap, frame, and dust shield; finely bead-blasted frame and slide:
Hand-fitted blued extractor...the original one had the tension of a wet noodle.
Fitted Ed Brown detachable magazine well:
Ramp-and-throat job; polished feed ramp...feeds everything including empties:
