Big_Red_Tex :tiphat: You asked about cleaning... I have the 'non-pimp' :lol: version, just matte stainless that I haven't had to especially clean, just a quick wipe with the rag and Rem Oil. I have the Hogue grips also (wrap arounds on everything I shoot) and tritium sights. I just put on the arched msh & magwell and it feels even better in the hand, you might want to look into that. I'll probably round out the collection with the B1 and the ALR versions. After people see my groupings and ask what I'm shooting, I love how they make 'the face' when I tell them its a Taurus. Reasonable price and a most excellent shooter!! :fire And, the main spring housing is actually metal!! "rlol"
Well I've run into an issue putting it back together once I cleaned it and filed down the rough edges. And for whatever reason I can't get the hammer to cock back so i can put in the safety. And it's driving my nuts because i want to go shoot it because I just put in a wilson combat firing pin, a sear and sear spring. So I want to see how well it works in it. I already called my range to have the smith there look at it and he was like "I'll show you how to put it back together" I'm like noooo kinda like a shot at my manhood LOL. :???: :banghead: :cryin But i'd rather have that then screw it up any further.

My new to me series 70. Bought from a family friend that bought it new in the mid 70's. It's seen decades of carry and shows it. I replaced the sights, and added new pachmyers to freshen it up. I grew up shooting this pistol, so it's really great to call it my own. :mrgreen:
Nice a little polish and elbow grease :drool: and that thing will look spectacular

I'll go first, This is my first 1911 so I figured I'd get one with some flash to it.
Not actual picture (haven't recieved gun yet. Hurry up UPS) But a stock photo should suffice.

I know what General George S. Patton, Jr. would have said about that one! "rlol" :evil2:
Oh really what would he have said? My Patton needs to be refreshed.

Well, I glad I'm not the only one to have picked one of these little Bling Beast up. I must say though, for the money it fires great, no problems (other than some light hearted ribbing). And I did change out the grips to Hogue.

Yea It was on sale @ Larry's pistol & pawn. http://www.pistolandpawn.com for $488 and had been eyeing it for about 4 months at Academy for $599. As soon as I saw it on sale I snatched one up. Already have Wilson Combat parts on the way (Titanium Firing Pin, Sear, Sear Spring,) So now I have to get off the road (truck driver) to pick it up at my FFL. So they don't drool all over it too much. My only thing is that how can a clean it without screwing up the finish. Any ideas?
