This compensated Colt “Combat Elite” by Jim “Mac” McDonnell out of Seal Beach CA is an absolute pew stick. Mac built compensated match guns out of his garage for IPSC shooters, the most famous of which was Southwest Pistol League champion Jim Zubiena. JZ was a cult hero to IPSC shooters when he was featured as a hitman in an iconic Miami Vice scene, where he executes a man in 1/1000 second with a quick draw from the surrender position. Google it, it’s pretty dope. Swipe left to see Zubiena competing in his “Macs 45 Shop” t shirt. This 1911 isn’t as refined as a Hoag or Nastoff, but it’s engineered to finish and it’s old school cool to me. It’s all there —two tone blue over hard chrome, Bomar sight, Barsto barrel, and checkering fore and aft. Screws are indexed and grips are beautifully checkered African Zebrawood by David Wayland.
