Out of all the ones I currently own, I do shoot them.

Not alot, but I do. Such a pleasure to shoot. 

At first I was scared to, figure that one out???

Prob cause I thought I would  lose too much money on them if I wanted to sell them. But to find out after a bunch of sales that I dreaded, it really doesnt matter that much with these 1911s. You get most of  your money back.

Thanks for the comment also.

The only one I havent shot is the Heirloom Colt.

Drool

Thanks. My wife is also..Really

Really a beautiful piece. Nice choice of options. It is collectively spectacular. Enjoy this one.

Sweet mag1

Pics or it didn't happen

F*** that's a sweet looking gun

That is all I usually shoot is 38 Super, Nice round and a very nice supergrade.

first off..  wow..  sweet looking gun...

 

but the question i have is, why did you change out the grips?  i kinda liked the ones it came with better..  (personal preference only)..  just curious why you yourself changed them..  asthetics?  better grip?

On some of my 1911s I like custom grips, being either some sort of ivory or exotic wood. Just personal preference and they def do not give a better grip.

They just make the 1911 "pop". I call them presentation grips. Something to do when you get bored. Change the grips, and it looks like you have a different gun. Funny thing is a set of $300 grips on a 1K 1911 will make that 1911 look like a $3k gun. Just personal opinion. 

I do like the G-mascus grips that I ordered with them. Funny think is at the time, these were the only grips that had a flat bottom. I do not like grips that show the MSH pin, again personal preference. 

I just ordered a  pair of Harrison carry groove grips for my EB which is going to be presentation stainless. I really like the looks of the Harrison grips on a stainless 1911.

Here are the harrison ones

Here is one of my buddys EB with VZ's CF grips. These grips are not expensive, but makes his 1911 look sharp. Def good choice for  a stainless 1911

it's ....it's beautiful... i want to touch it 

Very nice gun and jealous as hell :-)

Thanks guys. I know these are not cheap 1911s, but they are definitely number one in semi-customs. Internals, tooling, finish, and customer service to name a few of the reasons.

I have sent a bunch of 1911s (WC, EB, & NHC) out to 3 different gunsmiths, and not just any gunsmith. Do'nt want to name any names.

I sent my guns not for any problems that I noticed, but for upgrades (fluting, magwells, checkering, etc..)

Each gunsmith bragged about the quality of that WC puts into their guns. That means alot to me.

I will not lie, I can not tell any difference in accuracy between a CQB, Costa Recon, Supergrade, or Kobra. As for reliability, who knows, but I bet they are very close.

 

Again, thanks for all the comments. You guys Rock

gotta say I like the factory grips Joe

Absolutely gorgeous! 

I like the original starburst grips. If you wanna sell em, send me a text. Lol

 

Btw, looks awesome. Really like the wY it came out.

Thanks buddy. The WC grips feel much better

Not the best day, but i shot after a killer upper body workout. 15 yards w .38 super.

 

I have never seen a front bushing like that. I am not even sure how you access it to take it off. 

I love the checkering on the rear of the slide. Never seen that before.
