Patton would be proud of you.
That's a beauty Renault. Are those Ajax grips?Concerning the discussion on the vast assortment of gunshop personal. My Standard answer while employed in gunsmithing was "I dunno nuthin' and I can prove it!!!!"
Did I post a pic of this? My old compadre gave it to me. .38 Super. I pack it at the ranch in one of them El Paso Saddlery shoulder rigs.

If you were closer...55Merc, they came the gun. Possibly. I call the piece simply, Pancho.
Evening meal alone one night at the ranch. Deep South Texas. Awaiting the possibility of unwanted dinner guests!
Is this the photo you were trying to upload Renault?Sorry Sarge. Photobucket has been a thorn in my side for almost two months now. Cannot download photos or anything. And their support staff has been unresponsive! So unless I decide to use a different photo carrier, I suppose i won't be posting any more pics for a while.
If the scale is real Ivory, then he would be.Patton would be proud of you.
Real nice. A fantastic running piece of machinery that rivals any 1911 manufactured. Rock Island does a great job on their 1911's. All done locally in small shops. They also produce a satin nickle model, but I think the polished nickel has it beat. I believe this is a 1911 not a 1911 a1, I say this because they make the 1911 for Cimarron in the polished nickle. The only difference between the Cimarron and the Colt is the Cimarron logo is on it rather than the Colt logo.Concerning the discussion on the vast assortment of gunshop personal.

It's an A1. Got all the A1 stuff. Frame,main spg housing, safeties, hammer etc. I do have a Cimarron 1911. They are basically an A1 with and 1911 frame. I changed out the hammer, grip safety, thumb safety. All that is left on it that is A1 are the sights!

The first pistol I ever bought was a GP 100. I like Ruger revolvers they are sturdy and well made. I think you will really enjoy shooting this weapon. Also, you'll find that you won't have any problem running .357 mags through it, though I'd rather use .38's instead for home defense as it's easier to come on line with a .38 as you'll have more recoil with the .357. The way I see it, I'd rather have accuracy and ability to get more rounds into my target.I haven't had a chance to shoot this one yet but it's got a nice feel to it.

I wouldn't worry about your abilities or lack of, people will be too busy admiring the refinishing job.Just finished up refinishing the stock on this neglected BT99 today. Now only my shooting will embarrass me at the range.
