1911 gun Pr0n

[Bill Nance]

I just got this back from Greg Derr and it's friggin amazing. Shoots like a wet-dream and purty to boot.

Before:

After:

New grips are incoming I'll update a pic with them when they come in.

Could you give us a shot from the side? I'd like to see how he did the cut on the frame. Do you notice a significant difference in concealing it due to the frame cut?

 

[Bill Nance]

I'll give a full pics update on the gun once I have the new grips which should arrive tomorrow. I did a test with BBQ Uncle in a not very loose turtle neck and he couldn't see a thing in a small of the back position. The bobtail helps a lot with this as it's one of the "worst offenders" for printing. Comfort wise I can tell you the difference is amazing. I sat with this puppy in a car, which is, in my mind, the most uncomfortable place to carry a full frame gun. I hardly noticed it.

As for shooting, I'll refer you to my range report.

Looks really nice. Is it also refinished with a new coating or is that the lighting?

that thing is gorgeous...I don't normally like solid triggers on 1911's but that trigger fits it well

 

[Raoul Duke]

Nice work on that. Congrats Bill, enjoy it!

It doesn't have a solid trigger anymore. That was the "before" picture

Yes it's hard-chromed.

As always with Greg's work, SUPER!

I can't get over the difference in before vs. after. Especially with the beautiful new grips. I swear, I'm going to 'steal' this one to keep as mine and Bill will need to find a new one for himself.
