My Spring Blowout!

Post by gregthehand »

Well I only go bonkers a few times a year and just go out and buy all the stuff I want (after I saved all my nickels and dimes of course) so I thought I'd brag a little with some people that could appreciate it!

What I bought this last week:

- Springfield Operator with the 5" barrel. It's at my gunsmith now getting an Ed Brown mag well and some dark black smooth Cocabolo grips!

- Colt Gold Cup Series 80. Also at the gunsmith. He is doing an Ed Brown mag well, some smooth burl grips with the Colt medallions, milling down the reciever and installing an Ed Brown high ride grip safety and new hammer, and finally some custom sights!

- Work on all my other 1911s:
* Kimber Pro-Carry .45 - Ed Brown Mag well, new dark rosewood grips (full checker double diamond), new high ride grip safety.

* Kimber Pro-Carry .38 Super - Ed Brown Mag well, new light rosewood grips (full checker double diamond), new high ride grip safety, Kimber night sights off of an Eclipse.

* Colt Commander - Trigger Job with 3.5lbs break and all STI parts. Novak night sights, Ed Brown mag well, dark ash double diamond grips with Colt medallions, and an extended magazine release and slide safety.

* STI Ranger II - Ed Brown Mag well, dawson fiber optic front sight, checkered double diamond rosewood grips, and a high ride grip safety.

- Holsters OHHHH how misereable the wait will be! :totap:

* Finally ordered my Tucker HF1 for my commander sized 1911s!!!!!! :txflag: I got the medium brown leather with the egyptian key stamp, I also got the sweat shield. To match I got a new belt (old one was too big with all the weight I'm losing :woohoo) and a double mag pouch!

* Went ahead and got a Comp-Tac OWB holster with belt slide for my commanders also! Picked up a double mag pouch and a new brown belt with kydex reinforcement to hold it all together. This will be my IPSC set-up.

- Other Stuff

* Some new Peltor electronic ear muffs from Midway

* Some A-zoom caps also from Midway.


Now I just have to be patient while it all comes in :cryin

I ordered an HF1 from Tucker this week too. Medium Brown with diamond cut. 6-7 months ouch! Congrats on the new gun. Where is your gunsmith? I want to have a magwell put on my springfield.

Wow, that's a lot of stuff for the arsenal.
I'm getting the idea you must like 1911'a a little bit.
