My Custom WA 1911/2011's

[safx]

First Up, my Western Arms 1911a1
built custom by WGC. PGC metal kit,
metal chamber, all the fixin's.

Grips were inspired by The Devils
Rejects, and the main character Otis.
He uses a classic Colt 1911 at the
end of the movie, riding into a hail
of bullets, while Freebird plays.

Enjoy—

Thanks to nierbie, for bringing my
custom grips to life. See my other
thread for more shots of the grips
he recently produced for me.

More Pics of my other WA's soon.

A few current pics of my WA Kimber TLE/RL2
project. Awaiting a full-length recoil rod, SD
silver barrel, and SD Kimber metal chamber.
The metal kit is by Creation, the anodized OD
finish on the slide/frame is quite nice. The
badly cut Kimber logo on the slide is not, uhg.
Not quite sure why Creation could engrave
all the text so nicely and then use a fat tool
to obliterate much of Kimber's logo detail.

I like the choice of color combo....always wondered how it might look to have a silvered back strap on a black gun...that is black though no?

Thanks, should look better with the 1911a1
slide parts swapped out for Kimber-esk ones.

The colour is a subdued green-blue, like
dark evergreen. It's hard to capture because
it looks different in different light. The blue
metal parts make it appear more blue, while
yellow wood grips bring out more green tone.

those grips are freaking bling.....thats hot....

[Huron]

Those are the single most ornate and sexy grips I've ever seen. Who makes those chrome grips?

[safx]

I'm fairly certain the grips are stock WA
ones from the gold premium model. TMC
either chose those or plated the stock
burnished ones to match the stock chrome
controls.
