I wasn't really expecting to get the Springfield back before Monday - Verle had it ready for me to pick up this afternoon! He also pulled the Colt out of the safe so I could get a quick snapshot of both. I'll have to get better pics later when I can actually bring the Colt home.



Here are links to a couple more pics:

Springfield (I found a pic I took before having the ambi safety installed)
Colt (left side)
Colt (right side)

The finish on the Colt is in really good condition - it's been fired, but not heavily, & was well taken care of by the previous owner. Still has the original box and paperwork.

It's one o' these: http://www.springfield-armory.com/image ... LLarge.jpg

I'm having a "modified" extended ambi installed - not as long as a typical extended safety. Just enough extra there to give me better leverage for one-handed use.

Oh, great... now I've got that tune running through my head. Can't forget, "They're Coming to Take Me Away! Ha ha, hee hee!" or "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me...."

I want to post a pic of my 1911's, but the Springfield is in the shop having an ambi safety installed, and the soon-to-be-mine Colt is still on layaway. Hopefully (fingers crossed) I'll have the Springfield back by Monday. (is there a smiley for "impatient"?)

Here's what you need to know.

Go to the test area. That is where pic posting is explained. I'd point you to the exact page but this forum won't let me.

For some reason all links on this forum only point to http://www.texaschlforum.com/. That needs to be fixed so we can point to a peticular thread within the forum.

You mean this link?
How to post pics

(My son showed me how to do this on another forum that was set up in a similar way. Explanation here.)
