I think I'm in love...

No slippers - it's not mine...

Make mine a double-Stack though....for a mere 3/16" increase in grip circumference, my hand fits better, and 14+1 is just more fun...

Mine too. I just love Turnbull's color-case hardening work. And what a great "canvas" for his work!

[rjohns94]

That's a Beauty. Mines a double stack but not anywhere as pretty as that one.

That's a NICE pistol!! I had Turnbull do a Colt Officers Model 1911 like that for me a few years ago. It has Elk horn grips on it. When I was in law enforcement it was my Court gun. I would post pictures...........if I was smart enough

That would be something to see!

Could you post them for me if I emailed them to you? I'm seriously technologically challenged.............jes sayin'

Yes I could - and would be happy to do so! You can e-mail to me using the "e-mail" button below. My e-mail is linked through Leverguns.com.

Nice !

Doug Turnbull has certainly made himself the Gold Standard for firearm finishing.

Once upon a time, I had a .32-20 Winchester Model 92 that went through his shop (the SN was in his book), that I bought cheaply because the FFL I bought it from thought it just another refinished rifle.

I only sold it because I couldn't bring myself to D/T it for a receiver sight - which meant that I would also have had to alter the square post front sight (which was welded to the bbl @ the factory).

The only thing that made the sale palatable for me was that I quadrupled my money on it.

Oh MY ! How UGLY!! Send that to me and I'll take care of it.
(that is some serious good looking fistful of beauty in my favorite package)

Nice!

They did the case hardening on my Super Black Hawk.
It turned out beautifully! Photos just don't do it justice.

Can't count that high... I'd be dumpin' the mag after 8...

^Ha! Almost lost my cold beverage.

It IS pretty nice.

You just got 'smart enough'... ...in fact, smart enough to get me to do the leg-work...

These are only 990 pixels due to forum limitations, but if anyone wants the 3600 pixel versions I might be able to get them uploaded to PhotoBucket.com

Thanks to AJMD429 for the technologic aid. Again computers and I are on a path that seldom crosses........jes sayin. That's one reason I like lever guns so much, that's something I can wrap my mind around. I still do my muzzle loader hunting with a flint lock I made 30 years ago

[Malamute]

Nice little Colt.

[JerryB]

A real fine looking Colt. One day soon when we go to Conway to see our son I give you a call, I would like to see that piece.

[TedH]

I guess I'll be the odd man out here. While the colors are beautiful, they just don't look "right" on a 1911. I'll take a deep blue on mine.

I'll even that up for you, I'm in the same camp. I have a 1911 that I've been working on, getting it to run just right, with the "right" ergonomics. A couple of weekends ago, I ran it in a match, and it ran flawlessly with Wilson mags, and the 3-dot sights were quick and easy to pick up, even in shady areas... so I've been researching finishes to put on it. The next step is to disassemble and start polishing... It'll either get re-parkerized, or one of the "paint" coatings... the one that's baked on. I'm sorta thinkin' a Marine CBQ look-alike... Still trying to decide whether I want to try stipplin' or checkerin' the front of the mag well.

As it sits now... it's sorta like the "ugly duckling!"

I'm happy you sent those pictures to Doc instead of me. I'm pretty sure the drool would have ruined my computer!
