Well I suppose I shouldn't be too excited, she's certainly nothing fancy. Just an old mutt, 70 series colt slide and colt barrel in an old essex frame, but she's a 1911, and mine!
I've never had a huge interest in these guns till a few months ago when I rented a kimber at the local range. Sense then I've managed to be a range bum (uusing my own ammo of course) and try out several others and totally fell in love. So i picked this thing up. Haven't had much of a chance to shoot it yet, but did a full detail strip, cleaning and lube, and believe it or not this thing was the cleanest used gun I've ever purchased.
It had a cracked barrel link and torn up recoil bushing which I replaced. IL be ordering a new spring kit and a few good mags soon and it should be ready for a test run. I know it's a cheap gun but I'm thrilled to have it. Very excited to start shooting with it!!
