If you don’t like Bullseye guns, I would block this account for the next 30 days. Colt 70 series 1911 in 38 wadcutter by legendary Honolulu police armorer Thomas Shimoda. Look at this crazy ass gun—this is gunsmithing. The front strap checkering intertwined with stippling is stunning. The welded on feed ramp nubbin enables 38 wadcutter to feed straight into chamber (like a .22) without getting caught on the lip. The slide has been lightened to assist the virtually powerless 38 wadcutter in cycling. Two aft barrel positioners (not pictured) keep the rear barrel snug while the front bushing (which required the jaws of life to remove) ensures the fore of the 6” barrel is dead on. Now I know why this gun was never cleaned until I bought it. What normally takes me 15 minutes took me two hours— including the hacking off of a FLGR. This pony is now shod in custom grips by legendary wood magician Lew Sanderson.
