Seen this on the firearms guy.
This IMO is perfect when it comes to color case hardening.
Gorgeous 1911.
No I'm not I really like that one.You’re kidding, right? That thing looks like Jimi Hendrix threw up on it.
I'm with you, the color case hardened Standard Manufacturing has been on my want list for awhile now. Quality pistols too.No I'm not I really like that one.
I guess you are not a color case harding fan.
If you like color case harding show what you like.
I like uniform color/finishes on firearms. I have never seen such a discombobulated, gawd-awful mess as the finish on that 1911. That **** looks like my daughter’s room when she was a teenager.No I'm not I really like that one.

Kind of agree here, too busy for my taste.I like uniform color/finishes on firearms. I have never seen such a discombobulated, gawd-awful mess as the finish on that 1911. That **** looks like my daughter’s room when she was a teenager.
Ah it’s interesting
Cabot is supposed to have a 1911 made out of meteorite. I can't find it on their website.Ah it’s interesting

I’ve never got the flat mainspring housing, I prefer the arched…. JMB…..ah….JMHOI picked up a Tisas 1911A1 US Army at Rural King for $296.99 during their Black Friday sale. I was there to buy a Rossi R22 because they had them for $73.99 after rebate, and I saw the Tisas sitting in the case at that ridiculously low price. I'm not even a big 1911 fan, and didn't need it, but I wasn't going to leave it in the case for less than $300.
I know this is probably heresy, but I've handled a lot of 1911s in an effort to like them, but I just never found them to be all that ergonomic. Not "Glock" bad, but nothing to write home about either. When I handled the Tisas at Rural King, it felt good in the hand. I've put a couple of boxes of ammo through it, and really like the way it shoots, although those vintage style sights leave a lot to be desired.
I did a bit of research and found out why. Every 1911 I've handled in various gun shops has a flat mainspring housing. I guess that's the standard now. The Tisas has an arched mainspring housing. Way more comfortable to me than a flat mainspring housing. Watched some YouTube videos, it doesn't seem to be all that difficult to swap out mainspring housings. So if I see a Commander style Tisas in a gunshop case for a ridiculously low price one of these days...
Not my pic, but a cool pic.
