This thread is terrific and I encourage more folks to respond, post and take/share a few snapshots of any pistol or 1911 related "stuff".
I have deleted several posts which have been copied & pasted into the 1911/Randall knife "build" thread. Peter and I got carried away and started posting "build-related" posts over here. My apologies to all. Keep it up. I'll dig into my safe and photgraph my 45 a bit later. Thanks.
Best, Capt. Chris
