Picked up a very interesting 1911 today. The slide and frame are marked "Michigan Armament". From what I have been told by my local 1911 guru and what little I can find through Google, these were semi-custom guns produced in the early 80's when Colt was pretty much the only 1911 game in town, and were one of first to offer factory upgrades that we now consider commonplace. The gun has Millet adjustable sights, and adjustable trigger and an extended thumb safety. It did come with a pretty rough set of grips on it, but that was fixed easily enough from the old grip drawer.
I couldn't help myself after the show today and took this straight to the range. It is nicely fitted, tight, but not ridiculously so, and proved to be very accurate and stone cold reliable through 200 rounds of my standard target reloads.
Anyone know anything further about this gun? I'm very happy with the find, but it seems odd that I can't find any info on it.
Thanks
