I've heard there are lots of Supers in Mexico. <br /><br />My old boss in college had a 38 Super from the 20's his dad bought. We went to the Downtowner in Longview before it was demolished. He had to get a door lock and room number plate off a "special room". He was packing that Super just in case we ran into any squatters. I made him bookends out of some walnut and inset the door locks with the knobs from each side of the door, with the room number on the front edge. He never volunteered why that room was "special"....<br /><br />I'd like to have one. I've heard there are lots of Supers in Mexico.

I started with a frame from Alex Hamilton at 10-ring Precision. I found a Colt series 80 9mm slide milled for adjustable sights at a gun show. I had a custom barrel chambered in 38 super by a local gunsmith. It is tuned for light loads as a paper puncher. I used it to shoot Bullseye competition for years. I cast my own bullets and loaded my own ammo.<br /><br />My favorite grips are Hogue--<br /><br />https://www.hogueinc.com/grips/1911/gov/rubberRHT447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-879148894874135502019-06-22T20:31:37.337-07:002019-06-22T20:31:37.337-07:00What was that Colt called that had adjustable sigh...What was that Colt called that had adjustable sights? Dang, I got to shoot a mag through one once, and then cleaned it for the rich guy that owned it.

As a gift to myself to celebrate escaping Kalifornia, I got one of these--<br /><br />https://www.springfield-armory.com/products/1911-range-officer-45-acp/<br /><br />Very pleased with it overall. Your comment reminds me that I need get my stones out. There is a bit of roughness when the hammer face transitions from the firing pin stop to the slide. A bit of a sharp corner there needs to be smoothed a bit.<br /><br />My only annoyance was, whose bright idea was is to stamp the last four digits of the serial number into the track on the slide for the disconnector nose? I understand about keeping matched slides and frames together during manufacture, and I'm all for it.
