    That looks good. I have a Colt 1911 38 Super in Bright Stainless and I really like the way it looks, the plus is it shoots like a house on fire.

    I Think you should work on the frame and shine it up to match the slide sides.


    Be careful if the the frame if it's a casting, Although you'l provably be ok as Colt is high quality.

    Though some may criticize the end result, none should fault your craftmanship. Nice job.

    While it's not my bag per se,.....I think you did a very good job at accomplishing what you wanted.[:)]

    Most of my handguns are SS, but I'm not into 'bling' I guess.
    I DO have an old no-dash 686 that I have polished with Flitz so many times now, it's beginning to get quite shiny.[;)]

    I agree... Very Good Craftsmanship... [^]

    I too prefer the blued / wood guns... Or for a little 'bling'... Polished and deep blued or add some Damascus or Case Coloring...

    Yet, I too see what the ladies meant... It dosen't look so "mean and intimidating"...
    Maybe that's why I like mine Billy Bad * Blue or Black... [:D]

    Actually. I prefer the covertness of a subdued firearm to the "SEE ME... I'M RIGHT HERE" bling of shiny guns...
    But... For a show and tell gun to take to the range or display on the desk... Absolutely NICE!

    Great Job!!! [8D] ( Glad I had my sunglasses... ) [:D]

    We might actually be missing something here.
    That slide appears so shiny that you could probably blind someone with it on a sunny day, and not even need to fire it.

    If nothing else you could certainly use it to signal your location to a plane or chopper if in need of rescue.

    Thanks Retro, Alphonse himself would have been proud to show this piece. Got to buy me dark shooting glasses, cant wait to go and blind other shooters at the range.[:D]

    I'm a little confused.

    Cause polish and Polish are spelled the same.
    It's just that one cap v lowercase.

    We're you shooting for shiny or stupid?


    Wait a minute, I know you, Your the dude that thought the Internet was gona shut down for a few hours.....!!! [;)][:D]

    First, I thank you for your significant contributions to our great Forum, sorry for confusing you, I'm shooting for SHINNY not shiny or stupid.[:D]


    Shinny?

    Lost me. But it looks better than I would have hoped for.

    And I still think you should have dusted up a beater. [;)]
