SRT,
Did you make all those grips? If so How do I get some?

Great stuff!

Thanks Gunjunky! Yes, I make the grips. Actually, I find myself somewhat addicted to it now. A beautiful set of grips just sets the weapon apart. Glad you like the pics. Thanks again, I appreciate it.

First gun is an early 80 sries Gold Cup with all 70 series GI type tool steel innards hard chromed. Wilson Combat GC sights,S&A safies and mag well. Has a NM barrel and bushing hard fitted with full length tunsten guide rod and a looser Colt 1911a1 barrel fitted with GI type parts that are usually in the gun. Those are Esmeralda Gabbon ebony grips.

I had a Series 70 Colt Gold Cup that was 98%. Been kicking my own butt for letting it go ever since I did.
Nice pics. I like the grips, very cool. The dark ebony allows you to see the engraving. Being a grip making addict, I tend to focus there first then move on to other areas.

This is my first post...

I am very new to The High Road, only been reading the board for about two weeks. Now that I have registered here are a few of my toys.

Start with my father's 1913 Colt that I am now proud to own, S/N 250XX.

Now my simple Spring-Field Mil-Spec.

A CD I recently acquired with Mammoth Ivory Grips.

And my latest acquisition, just picked it up yesterday. Only 400 rounds old now!

My Father's hard ball Colt first worked over by Bob Chow in the late 50's then when I got it late 70's I had Hoag freshen it up

Then my favorite Cylinder and Slide modified Combat Commander, which has many trouble free training rounds.

Another early Combat Commander that Armand Swenson did $160 worth of work on in 1983, I have kept it in the house mostly.

Just my father's bring back Colt 1911a1;

Less resolution on a 1969 Colt WW2 commenerative

Not really 1911's but I used to train with the 5" on the right and the 4" on the left and they ARE .45acp!

My Para LTC

All steel LTC. Harchromed by Tripp & Co., Dawson front and rear, arched mainspring housing, S&A magwell, and G10 grips. Very accurate and a pleasure to shoot.

Gordon, love the ambi on the C&S Commander. Compact and low bulk.

Couple more with different grips.

This one shows Afzelia Xylay. This wood will turn to a darker burnt orange color naturally with exposure to sunlight. The figure really shows through when this takes place.
