Very nice! I think that classifies as a "Officer's Model".

 

[coop44]

Yep it does. Almost too small for my monster hands. Like the grip safety and the hammer, I may change the trigger but as it is it's good to go.

Very nice snag. Best wishes. Don't forget the range report.

Found one on the Interweb (well really Davidson's e-mail offers just happened to feature the same gun...almost) mine will have smooth wood grips, but I bet I can find some Pachmayr for it, or something more BBQ ish.

 

[Medic!]

BBQ grips. Oh ya!

 

[coop44]

This came with the wood grips too, like the Hogue better

Take down and reassembly is a pain, as with all compact 1911s. I'll get used to it I'm sure.

 

[Pandaz3]

Hey I thought mine was easier than my Ruger or Para, I was careful with the barrel toggle though and cheated a bit putting the slide stop back in.

Nice Snag! Pretty much the Same as both my Kimber Compact Ultra Carry II and Colt New Agent! Take down can be a bit of a bugger, keep several paper clips handy and it's not a real issue, I can do it with out any tools, BUT, the tool does help keep your fingers from going numb while trying to compress the springs

Sweet gun.

Now you need a camera made after 1978 and maybe pay the light bill.
