Very nice! I had a satin nickel Series 70 Combat Commander I sold some 25 years back. Still miss that gun sometimes. Enjoy yours!

If I didn't know what this thread was about, I'd think some of you guys were ogling a pinup girl

I'm going to run it to Honeybee today because the front sight is loose.

Nice pistol, Nate.

Definitely has lots of custom touches...sights, checkering on front strap and front of trigger guard, aftermarket beavertail and guide rod spring plug. Beautiful. No idea who did the work?

Don got me all fixed up. Simply had to stake the front sight, all good now.

Thanks Jim. Nope no idea, bought it that way. The guide rod is something I've never seen before. It if a full length guide that unscrews in the middle. You cannot break this 1911 down in what I would consider the traditional way by pushing the guide rod in and turning the barrel bushing. You have to remove the slide release and then pull the slide off. I suppose you could unscrew the guide rod and disassemble the traditional way? I'm going to try to figure out what kind of guide rod it is.

haha. Hey, Buzz, I was carrying one at our transaction the other night, except yours is two years older. That is a damn gorgeous handgun, Sir, and honeybee does a fine job on them.
