Great thread! I thought I'd bump it back up with a picture of one of my 1911's. This is a Colt MK IV/Series '70 Government Model 45 that has had the barrel cut back to 4'' and a Pachmayr Signature custom job done on it. This gun was completed in November of 1973. The group shown as the final group measures a few thousands of an inch over one half inch and is 5 shots at 25 yards from a Ransom Rest. Not bad for a 4 inch barrel custom job done in 1973.
