1911 Texturing

Anybody else notice that there is no real consensus in the voting? Sure some are more favored than others, but not one got the lion’s share of the voting or really stood out from the others.

I have heard at least one 1911 gunsmith state that trying to please the buying public with a “Standard 1911” package is the equivalent to herding cats.

:smiley:

Now I understand it.

I hated checkering of any kind until I got my Ed Brown “Special Forces”. Now I’m quite happy with this treatment.

Rob, that baby looks awesome.

Just make this a link to the pic, and not the actual picture.

Or resize it and repost…

I REALLY, REALLY like the Ed Brown Snakeskin. I think it is one of the best there is for positive “feel” and not overly aggressive on the skin.

I also have a Kimber CDP with 30lpi front and rear and I like it too, though I think the 30lpi front strap is a little “soft”.

I am running skateboard tape on the Kimber Warrior until such time as I have something more permanent done.

I may have Ned C. one of his finishes…

Thank you. I really like the “checkering” as it’s just perfect for me. In general I prefer nothing more than serrations, but this pistol is making me a convert.

When my 1* arrives with the serrations I’ll be able to judge them side by side.
