From 1911_purview
Hard chromed 70 series Colt chambered in .45 ACP built by Dr. Steve Woods out of Ellicott Maryland. The gun was checkering by Pete Single, who lived down the street from Steve. Steve was unique in that he used to charge clients $60 for phone consultations. I guess he liked the idea of being paid for talking, because he left gunsmithing in the late 80s to become a clinical psychologist. His guns are easy to recognize—they are adorned with the Lion of Scotland. This gun was built for a friend of a friend who passed away too young. These guns have a story to tell.
Love seeing an old-school short trigger and arched mainspring housing on a custom 1911. If only it didn’t have the forward serrations…
