I bought this Colt for the frame for a .22 conversion..

Here is the 1918 Colt with the .45 slide. I have replaced the stocks with good repros, also the A1 hammer with a 1911 style and a 1911A1 grip safety... It had a full length guide rod which I replaced with the original GI type spring, guide and cap, which is the way God intended....

Whoever did the work on this pistola did a first class job! The Wilson barrel is very tight lockup and the sight installation is first class...

I set the trigger pull to a crisp 4.5# and took it out to Duane Hansen's farm and shot it, SHAZAM, it is a first class shooting iron with both .45 and .22.... I did good buying this sucker!!! And I bought just it for the frame!!!!!

Ah, Life is GOOD!!!!

Al, I don't know who made the trigger! I am looking forward to Reno, and I am bringing a very sweet young lady with me!! I tried to get Jamie to come, however she is working at the YMCA in Missoula and has a field trip scheduled so she said to tell the you guys "hello"!!!
