    A Match Shooter Dresses Up

    Had Ahrends make a set of custom stocks from the same wood as the presentation case.

    They'll eventually go on a Royal Blue 1911 currently at the Colt Custom Shop, but the 9mm Commander is showing off a little.

    Dad: Say something nice to your cousin Shirley
    Dietrich: For a fat girl you sure don't sweat much.
    Cue sound of Head slap.

            For me personally it's the design and how they shoot in my hands.

            I distinctly remember the first time I ever shot one (a loaner from a friend), and it was an "AH-HA!" moment for me.

              A 1911 in 9mm, you know what that says about you.
              Attitude: it takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile...and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

              The olive branch is considered a symbol of peace, and good will. Last time I checked, it's still a switch.

                  What makes the 1911 so awesome? Well for me it's the finest weapon John Moses Browning ever designed. It uses the .45 acp round. As a military issue sidearm, it is totally reliable. Drop it in the mud and pick it up and start shooting, Much like an AK47. As a platform, you can turn it into whatever you want, from a tack driving full competition model, to a basic accurate home defense/carry weapon. I would venture to guess there are more accesories available for the 1911 than any other firearm.
                  The handle makes it a natural point and shoot weapon. It fit's just abour anyone's hand. That it's been the main military sidearm for most of it's 100 year life, says quite a bit about it. And it's still in use by some units. Why we went with the Beretta 9mm, for the new standard issue sidearm is beyond me. The Beretta is a great pistol, but they arlready had a great pistol. I think it probably had something to do with 9mm being the most common NATO sidearm.

                        I could probably get 10 more sets of grips out of that box. Darn nice box. Very nice package.

                          Not in the same league as Ahrends but I built a shadow box for my favorite Chief when she left here.

                          It has a glass front which doesn't even show up. My hats off to Ahrends, they did a nice job, boxes can be tough.
