I handled one of the Dan Wesson Silverbacks in 10mm today. Needs different grips for me, but otherwise is a very nicely finished 1911.

I bought a Colt Delta Elite back in about 1989-1990 ?
Sure wish I still had it....

Had this one built awhile back; my old armorer buddy from AMU (Army Marksmanship Unit) days did the work. Longer barrel is the way to go.
Bob
Nice looking gun. What is the build? Hill Country Handguns in TX; they use their own frames and slides (provided by STI, I think). My gun shoots ragged, one-hole machine rest groups at 50 yards (what I expect from a gunsmith who built bullseye guns for a living). I'm killing all kinds of schitt with it.

Sweet looking outfit, RGK. That is a nice one for sure.

Mostly because I realized I need to do something about a certain fussy 300 Weatherby. Either rebarrel it or replace it.

Gonna finish floating the barrel. Try some 155 "skinners" & long Accubombs with fistfuls of Reloader 2X. Sprinkle Alaskan holy venom on it, and determine if my shoulder lasts long enough to see how it shoots. There after...

I'm sure they are nice but you could buy 4 Kimbers or 7 Glocks for that price!

Let's just say mine is on a long-term loan. I'm the testing-dude. So far, it's been a killing machine that hasn't malfunctioned when it was soaked and muddy. And it groups like my Army-accurized .45s.

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA
