I was impressed by the quality of this weapon vs the cost of it.

I have never seen a nicer lookin' Ballestor Molina Thor! Nice Job!

What treatment did you give the grips?

Thor · 05-04-2004, 02:22 PM

Nothing done to the grips, they were new replacments.

Hey Ted,

Would re-bluing a 1911 that was "hard-chromed" be feasible?

Ted, the Argies made some first-class pistols and I went through a number of 1927's...... an exact clone of the 1911A1... before people began realizing just how good they are. Now they bring top dollar. My bed-side pistol is a 1927 with new, fixed combat sights and parkerized by Ed Banks. It's as reliable as any pistol I've ever owned. The Ballesters are also a quality pistol as you've observed. Your work, as always, is outstanding. That's a beautiful B-M.
