My new (to me) .45 ACP
Argentine Sistema Colt. Made from original Colt tooling back in the late 1940's. Is in excellent condition. Can't wait to shoot it this weekend. Got it at buy it now price of $499, late at night, off of Gunbrokers. My local gun shop just appraised it at around $800.
 And yes the sights and trigger are not original, but I consider both to be good upgrades.

Looks like a great gun. Be sure to post your first range report for it.

Nice. I like the basic, no frills approach to the 1911. Just enough upgrades to make it a better shooter. Here's mine, a mil-spec Springfield, one of only two semi-auto handguns I own. The other gun is an old Charter Arms Bulldog Pug in .44 Special.

Hard to beat a good .45 auto.

personal preference... bit when it counts the 9.
I was trained with an M9... but I still go back to the .45 for comfort... I've never felt comfortable with the Beretta even though placement is more consistent.... but give me a Beretta 687 EELL with fixed chokes... that's balance... and a beautiful thing to handle.

Nice looking gun. I just saw one at a gunshow, a little more worn than yours for 750.
