Just swapped out standard wood grips with these. Just thought I'd see how they look on this old Colt. Lighting makes them appear a little rosy but they are white.
They would go well with some dress whites.

Picked up my first 1911 today. A slightly used Ruger SR1911 Commander.
Previously owner had it Bob-tailed by a local shop. Got it all cleaned up and ready to ,hopefully, hit the range after work tomorrow.

Don't worry, it won't be your last. Congrats and nice purchase.
Shop that sold it to me said the bobtail was done at Guns and Gear over in Agawam.

Shocked that it was guns n gear. I get there fairly often and there are great people, I just did not know they had this level of workmanship in them.
Your not alone. I've been in there shop numerous times and the owners are super nice people. They sit on the BOD of the club I belong to as well.
I once asked him about drilling and tapping a pistol for a mount and he said he couldn't do it. Guess I figured the didn't do anything past very basic. He did once press off a rear sight for me for free just cause I bought the APEX Kit there.
Either way, the bobtail looks great, he added a Ed Brown bobtail mainspring housing.
Mine is a SR1911 with magpul grips...although I think I found a good way for people click on a pic of it ..

Saw some mention of the Brown bobtail msh. I didnt' want to drop the cash on a block with 2 holes in it, but enjoy working on guns more than shooting them, and bought the jig.
If anyone wants to borrow the jig, send me a pm and I"l drop it in the mail.

I have always had one type of 1911 or another over the past 35 years, but have been really into them lately, and yes as my avatar shows I did have a couple of Para's, they shot fine with 0 issues, but don't have them anymore. These are my latest ones over the last few months. Sig Scorpion Carry, Ruger Commander, and a Ruger that some gunsmith built into a 9mm, shoots awesome.

Yes it is! I don't know why I keep doing that. It must be a sign that I need an Ed Brown?

Kinda hard to see the splatter when you shoot through the same hole every time!

So you like the pretty much total unavailability of reasonably priced surplus brass, and the need to buy new casings at about $225/k?
I've collected so much 38 super brass from the HSA bays that I think I might just build a gun for them.
