From 1911_Purview ( formerly Pistol_Purview)
1977 Colt 70 series 1911 in 45 ACP by pistolsmith Lin “Trapper” Alexiou…the other Greek pistolsmith. 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 Hoag 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. This weirdo 1911 finally found a set of weirdo Spegel grips…now it’s complete. A huge thank you to Karl Beining (best in the business) for lending this gun his talent by way meticulous restoration.
Now that’s a sweet piece. I do like me some 2-tone 1911.

I don’t know. Something about the trigger guard just looks wrong to me.
But the rest of the gun is mighty fine so I ‘speck I could get used to it.
