Thanks guys. I can't recommend her grips enough.
www.esmeralda.cc They came out gorgeous. The pictures do them no justice.
Hopefully next week I will post pics of my soon to be STI Lawman 5.0
How do you like those grips?
I love them! Really good quality, and you can't beat them for $40 a pair!! I think it was $4 more to have the mag release relief cut into them, we'll worth it!!

I'm part of a local photographers group on FB and every week they do a photo challenge. This weeks topic is "something you love". I'm trying to stay away from the family pic's as I am assuming many of the others will post pics of their spouses and kids. So anyhow, I'm thinking of submitting this one. What do you think of the pic? I did the pic in HDR with a grain to give it a "been there, done that" feeling. The gun is a Springfield GI that I tore down and put back together. The majority of the upgrades are Wilson Combat.

thats a beautiful gun and killer editing on the photo Typo......what kind of camera do you use? good skills
Thanks! I've been using a Canon T3i for about a year now (upgraded from an Xti). I used a EF-S 18-55mm lens set at 54mm and a 430ex flash with diffuser pointed up at my ceiling. My settings were ISO 400, F/5.6, and my shutter was at 1/50. I shoot everything manual modes and in RAW format. For this picture I did my editing using two separate programs.
From one photog to another. I would ease up on the fake vignette. I'm not a big fan of the HDR thing either unless it's for a landscape.
Nice gun though!

Thats alota Hollow Points!
I appreciate the CC. The idea was to give it that "tough or rugged" look. This is the only picture I've shown in HDR. I agree, it's not for everything... or even most things, but I like the feel I got out of this one.

That's just what I keep in my back pocket for when I go into the city.

Tell me about the Coyote Tan one. Did you have it built? What are the grips?
It looks familiar.

This was my father's Colt 1911, it's now mine, mine, all mine. It was his service pistol in WWII, he was an MP. It must of fell into his bag when he was discharged, funny how those things happen. It has some scratches and wear, but it's all original and still shoots great. No rattle when you shake it, everything is still tight inside, Dad took VERY good care of this. According to info on the Internet, it was made between 1918-19, the serial number range is in the 520XXX range.
Absolute treasure, congratulations on inheriting this piece of family, and American, history!
Well, I guess I have to add mine here as well. Got it today; two mags, $700. Dates to March 1917.
