ithacaartist · 09-20-2013, 05:03 PM

In hopes that the 1911 aficionados on the forum can bestow some guidance upon me, I submit the following:

I've recently acquired a M1911 from a friend who shot Bulls-eye format matches. It's built of all Colt parts on a Caspian frame. A Tasco Red-Dot optics system is mounted on the slide, its grips have been changed out to a system for Bullseye Match shoting--with thumb rest and an adjustable bottom"shelf" portion, and it has had a trigger job.

I realize that pics will be necessary for fine-tuning this online kind of appraisal, and I'll try to get some up soon. But I thought I'd throw this up, just to get started. My description is probably lacking important info or features, as well, so I welcome any questions of that nature.

The back story is that my friend was in a car accident almost two years ago and is unable to raise his arm to comfortably shoot. I believe he was the second owner, having purchased from another enthusiast who had the pistol built professionally--but by whom, I do not know. Anyway, he passed the 1911 on to me, along with a Dillon Sq.D B press, several hundred rounds of hand loaded SWC, a couple boxes of primers, 2 bags of swaged SWC, and a hopper full of 231 powder. I can use the reloading setup and supplies for my other 1911s, but wish to ultimately sell the pistol.

I'm not going to start shooting Bulls-eye, have another 1911 knock-off for the IDPA in which I dabble, so would like to pass this fine pistol along to someone who would give it a good home, at a price that is fair to both. Any other advice as to how best to accomplish this would also be appreciated.

Thanks, all,

David Parker
