Cement might work (see above) but two-sided tape is easier and less messy.

I would highly discourage anyone from using contact cement whistle

Give us a closeup of the front strap checkering you adhered to the front strap. Looks great.

Well, no one can call you a snob for owning one, that's for sure. Lol

My pride and joy is a 1924 Colt, but fact is that the rampant horse isn’t worth the extra bucks.

Yea, their value just goes up. Best resale value of any 1911.

The value of the Tisas 1911 will go up as well. For now their cheap but that won't last forever. They also will rise with time just like mausers Mosin sks and all things have. $400 at this time is really a decent cost for something like an 1911 that works.

No denying it. That Colt is stunning. So is a Ferrarl, especially when you compare it to a Ford Mustang. Both have their merits.

Yeah my son is eyeballing that one. That's a very cool pistol at that price. I shoot 9mm in my Super frequently, cheap practice. And if we're being honest, there's not a whole lot of difference between 9mm NATO and .38 Super.
Never had a polished chrome gun. What it like vs polished nickel?
Chrome ought to be a bit tougher when it comes to impacts/chips. Nickel is a bit more rust resistant. There's a color difference, the nickel is a warmer color and chrome looks a lot like polished stainless. Both are VERY tough finishes.

This is not really the case, in the plating process nickel is plated on and chrome is plated on top of the nickel and is harder, yes it does change the color but to say "Nickel is a bit more rust resistant" is a contradiction in terms

Naw the highest retail value of any 1911 doesn’t have a rampant Colt on on it. It’s called Singer. Do beieve some Remington Rands are more in demand than the rampant colt.

Talking buying new. Collectables are a different story all together.
I have several collectables in my total collection of 74 1911's. Colt Black Army is my favorite.

Seen these in the LGS. Seem very nice for the price. Only 2 1911’s I have are a Turnbull, and a REM Rand restored at Turnbull… dont carry them often, may get a Tisas
