1998 model
Haven't gotten my hands on it yet, but the gunsmith just sent preview pics of my latest Colt carry piece.
Can't wait to shoot it!

Cerakote
That factory slide showed wear very quickly in the bare, blasted finish, so we just did the whole gun.

It really looks impressive.
Where did you get the Cerakote done? I had my 9MM Cerakoted but it was in AZ and it's just so expensive to ship out a pistol for work like that.

Does good work at reasonable prices.

I'm having a shoulder rig made for it with a vertical bikini holster instead of horizontal like the Galco.
Should fit both the Commander and the Officers.
They're saying 6 weeks out.
I'll guess we'll see.

Can't read what it is.
That's from the holster co. website.

Looks like this is
the one.
Best shooting and carrying 1911 I've ever found.
Put 200 rnds downrange with it this morning, and it drives tacks.
Feels right at home in my hands.
