WELCOME TO
Bought my first 1911 at age sixteen and built my first race gun at age seventeen. That first was done on a budget frame and slide (Essex cast) but using a local smiths tools plus advice it ran well for first 10,000 rounds putting IPSC "new shooter", "D Class". "C Class" then "B Class" plaques on the wall of my reloading as shot my way up first two seasons into "A Class" when there was no Grand Wizzard classes above A. As the side to frame fit wear required tightening the slide every 7,500ish rounds after my first season knew I needed to start on better pistols on better foundations. Unfortunately for their collector value I turned several nice WW 2 vintage Colts into both limited and unlimited builds. Currently working on over a dozen firearms sites and a dozen non firearms sites in spurts so please keep checking back as one might sit while another gets a dozen new pages or more. Some photos are years old from my "little of everything" site while others are newer as I try to improve and split up my sites by catagory.

a few Randall 1911's
1911 GOVERNMENT PATTERN PISTOLS
SIG SAUER 1911s
COLT 1911s
Unfortunally back in the day when WW2 issue Government Models were plentiful I used this for a custom carry build. The up side is it is still a stunning custom carry pistol but due to me checkering the front of the grip it can never be truely returned to an original appearance gun. It sports a lightened hammer, name brand top line fire control parts for the time frame I built it (mid 1980s) Quadralock bushingless barrel with dual spring set, factory safety and extended slide release. I opened up the notch width on rear sight to allow quicker sight picture by allowing the front blade to jump out loud and proud. This pistol has served me well for over 35 years and cant ever remember it having a failure to feed, fire or extract.
