My pride and joy is FINALLY finished..

[HT]

Here's the final product.

A little background.. It started off as a Springfield GI .45 that was completely stripped. Everything I want is in it. It was passed around from smith to smith and finally ended up at Caylor Custom Guns. Mike worked his magic and got it running 100%. I just got it back this evening. I think I have a permanent smile now.

Nice looking gun HT. Now send it back. The thing I like best about 1911's is the holes in the trigger. J/K

Wow that's a lot. Do you mind if I ask what all that ran?

[dws1117]

BTW the most important this is, how does she shoot? We expect a full range report.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I ran 275 rounds through it today. I had slight ammo issues (blazer brass). Other than that she's fully functional and accurate (more than me).

I've known of a few people that have had ammo issues with Blazer brass. Personally I've had no problems with it in either my Springfield 1911 or my Glock. I guess some guns like it better than others.
