Last year my friend @texaspatriotarms posted a Colt built by Mike Padgett (MP Customs out of Linton Indiana) and I swore right then and there I was going to buy it. Well, he wouldn’t sell it. This was curious to me. After all, he’s a high end 1911 dealer—selling 1911s is his business. What does that tell you? So I went to work on Padgett. “No Colts!” he said. How about a straight Colt? “Maybe” he said, “I’d have to see it.” I found a straight Colt. This gun is kinda everything. That’s all. It’s everything. Kart, low mount adjustable Bomar, checkering everywhere, ball cuts, French borders, impeccably blended beaver tail, beveled slide…I could go on for days. Shod in Spegel grips because (well you know) we are not animals. Stop wasting your money on plastic guns. Pick up the phone and order a custom 1911 today. Your great grandchildren will thank you. Now turn your phone on its side.
I could almost give up my S&W revolvers for a piece like that.
