1977 Colt 70 series 1911 in 45 ACP by pistolsmith Lin “Trapper” Alexiou. Trapper Guns out of Frazier Michigan was best known for their modified S&W 39-2 semi-automatic 9mms known as the “Scorpion” This gorgeous 1911 features Hogue hand made grip safety, checkering fore and aft, checkered (Nastoff style) commander hammer, and of course S&W K sight installation. Oh yea, it wouldn’t be Trapper without the pathognomonic Scorpion trigger guard. Special thanks to my friend Karl Beining for not only finding it in the wild but for also breathing life back into this 45 year old girl.
