Congrats - you're well on your way to your first? BBQ rig?
Now you need a fancy holster for that bad boy!
I have an R. Grizzle charcoal elephant ring on the way - should be here in a few days. Also got a pair of pewter Hogue grips for it - I hope all those shades of gray come together?
My buddy called me up the other day - he's getting his first custom holster - he liked the High Noon Sky High (I have a couple), but they told him they don't make a holster with a retention strap for 1911s - he was going to drop back to their Slide Guard, but I told him if I was going to do that, I think I'd give R. Grizzle a try.
He ended up ordering the Georgia 2 in light brown with dark elephant hide trim (on the belt loops and reinforcement @ the mouth). He called the owner and he said the one pictured at his site was his current personal carry rig.

Second pix on the bottom is the Country Boy in charcoal elephant (with reinforcement) - the 8th pix across the bottom is the G2 in light brown with black elephant trim - that is one sweet looking rig! I'm trying to decide which gun for one in the future? :banghead:
Been collecting holster pix for years - R. Grizzle is one of the few custom makers I could find that has a reasonable wait time (13 weeks).
Anywho...
enjoy your new rig.
Oh yeah - forgot to mention - I did buy some Wilson 47D mags - I like the small bumper pad - unobtrusive, yet gives you something to grab if you have to rip the mag out to clear a stoppage. Got 'em at Midway USA - one of the few places not selling the 47Ds above MSRP - they also have a sale 'til Feb 2nd - $25 off $125 using code 20125.

I guess it's nice to have some flush fit magazines, but I wish Ruger had included the ones that come with the 5" SR1911 (with bumpers) instead of the flush-fits that came with the CMD model.
