...Beers all on Jocko.

Now we're talkin'

The color of the gun, wood and inlays just works great! There is a muted look to the whole thing and it really sets off the inlays without making them look obnoxious. It is a classy piece.

I was VERY worried about the safety when I first tried to put them onto the gun. When they finally fell into place, there is JUST enough clearance for the safety. I would shoot it, but I want him to be the first.

The Nagant smoke signal came from somewhere in the desert...

The desert would have been my very first guess!

Pictures are hard to tell anything but is there plenty of clearance on the mag release on the right side.

And I hate to be picky but there's little black spot on the rim of the pin on the right side, might be a little release agent I missed or migrated. Should wipe right off.

I had to use the bleeder valve on my swelled head 3 times since you posted, I'm thrilled with how nice those look on a already beautiful gun.

That is a great gift. I'll bet it brings tears to his eyes.

Can you say PERFECTION ? I can.. great looking gun.. great gift and great job on the grips Bawanna

Awesome!!!!!

I rubbed the black stuff off the inlay after taking the pics. The mag release clearance is perfect. The thing that amazes me the most is how flush they are to the bottom of the mag well. In the pics, there is a relection toward the front of the mag well that makes it look odd. I went back to look and it is so tight that it seems like you finished the grips while on the gun. It is THAT flush.

My wife just saw the gun and read the forum...not a dry eye.

I love it, now give us one more post and you'll be a senior and Jocko can buy suds for the celebration.

Post #100!

Here is a little more detail...

I need to buy a 1911 just so I can buy some sweet Bawanna grips!! Every time I check out this thread, I can't believe the detail!

[OldLincoln]

Yup, seems like Bawanna just gets gooder and gooder don't it?

[Tinman507]

that just makes my britches stick out in front. Not in any mano y mano way mind you. mano y mil novecientos once

[DeaconKC]

I thought I had posted these, but evidently not. 1928 Argentine 1911 sure dressed up nice. Cocobolo and gorgeous:

[Fizzyone]

Itsthelaw, that is one beautiful 1911--the grips look so sleek! I love the black-on-black look. It makes the Army emblem really pop on the grips.
