Not sure how many of you know this but my Springfield Armory 1911 loaded model was stolen out of my truck a few weeks ago. I am not a pistol guy so much, I have a grock or two around the house as well as a couple of semi auto 22lr's. So I set out to find another 1911. Well that search ended the other day when I ran across a Colt Commander series 80 Mark IV. It is a little rough but nothing that will bother me. I traded my Mark III 22lr and some boot and will pick it up next week. They were asking 650.00 for it but I got it for less than six and they gave me 250.00 for the Ruger. I think I did pretty good on it. Anyway, I have always wanted a Kobra Karry from Ed Brown but there was no way in hell I was going to put 2k into a pistol so I decided that I am going to make this commander into my own version of Ed Browns wares. I think I have Pullit on board to bob tail my colt, so that is cool. But I am wondering about grips, I know that Esmerelda makes some nice ones but is there anyone else out there. The colt I picked up is 2 tone stainless bottom and blued top so I was thinking of having this one hard chromed though I don't know if I want to go all one color or if I want to stick with the 2 tone. What say you, any body got any high end 1911's that they don't mind posting that I can steal ideas from?
