Matt Mclearn 1911 single stack race gun. I think this is my best shooting 1911 that I have in the collection right now. Ion deposition metal finish. The green has grown on me.

 

 

 

 

Wow!

I think I'm in love.. Well done sir!

Green Lantern called. He wants his gun back. Lol! That's sweet! Definite conversation piece.

 

Is that how the green looks in real life? Pearlescent?

Gave it a new grip...

No idiot scratch on this one! Born on the fourth of July 1964!! When Colt was really turning out some fine weapons!

Congratulations. I have the exact same model - it was my first 1911, and a fine weopon at the price point.

 

Just an FYI, on breakin. When I first got it it had some feeding failures - but not abnormal during breakin. They went away after 500 rounds or so.

 

Also, when I first got it, the trigger was horribly gritty, now it has one of the best triggers of my 6 1911s. Again, this is not abnormal how a 1911 trigger might break-in.

 

Of course this was sample of one, your Tacops may have a diffierent breakin experience.

 

Congratulations, the 1911 is still just about the most acurate semi out there (all other things equal ;-))...

 

PS, best to shoot FMJ/Ball for 1st 500 rounds as part of the breakin to give the feed-ramp a good polish.

with your exquisite 1911 collection, i could probably sit there and throw back a few and just STARE at it for hours(in complete silence), but then that would be weird...

That is among the best looking firearms I have ever seen. May I ask how much did it cost?

Thanks for the advice, sir! I'll probably go get some bulk .45ACP FMJ ammo for the break in period.

I am willing to bet a minimum of $3k new.

Here's my lightly used numbers matching 1943 Colt US Army 1911A1.

Nice! Is the gold one burnt bronze cerakote?

Yeah, north of $3k. I'm not the original owner but I believe it cost closer to $4k to make.

Wowzers!
