1911_purview

I had to walk outside to put this beautiful 1911 in the sun for you fellas. I bought this Colt, chambered in .45 ACP, from a cop buddy of mine. He had it built by Marine Corp veteran Nick Wasley (Valor Precision) out of Montville Ohio. It started life as a “budget build” so I sent it back to Nick and said finish the gun. He checkered it, changed the sights, did some accuracy work, and added some personal touches that I like…and now it’s my gun. Wasley, who was a Precision Weapons Technician in Quantico Virginia, specializes in crafting the legendary USMC MEU(SOC) —sidearms made for men who clear buildings in Afghanistan. Special thanks to Marty Enloe who coated this gun in bulletproof NP3, Jon Aho who hand checkered these beautiful double diamond grips, Karl Beining who graciously gifted me this STI trigger, and Bert Edmonston who lent this slide his endless talent.
