Wow, thats different. I hope there good story behind that top one, if someone did that "just because"....well its a free country so if they are happy with it then more power to them.

The bottom one......well some people just like shiny things.

Perhaps if it misfeeds HPs it qualifies as "real 1911."

The eat hollowpoints, lead SECs, and hardball with equal relish. Come see.
