I have both.... great guns... best of the best... glws

Sweet... take peaches in trade? Love that movie and that rig.... Gave my remmy to my boy. Guess be searching for another one.

Very nice but waaayyy out of my price range. GLWS!

Carrying a brick? Yea, when I carried back in early 80's, there were no fancy holsters for 1911's like today. Still have it somewhere, but a leather pancake holster worked. But with everything else I carried; it still sucked getting in and out of the car. For the OP. - here is an idea for you? Kimber Ultra Covert II.... 1911 in a smaller package. Love mine even though I don't carry it anymore. Great lil pistol. (They don't have that color anymore but....)

I did 2 ss myself. a Uberti cattleman stainless and a SS Kimber Raptor 1911 pro. Took me 36 hrs. to do the 1911... I polished it to shiny finish then gave the flats a brushed finish. it was fun. need patience and no machines. Just various grades of emery paper as fine as 2000 grit. Chrome company I used. Think they changed names... Accurate Plating & Weaponry | Gunsmith In Newville, Alabama

If your gun is nickel, don't mess with it. I did mine because it was scratched to hell from years of use. If it's stainless, as mentioned below, get your mothers out and polish.... I would prefer nickel because it was like a mirror....

Bought the 1911 for $250 brand new in 1977 I believe The 1976 Lawman just last week for $845... Just got to keep eyes peeled.... my new mission.

So many moons ago, (early '80's), I had to make a decision what I liked and disliked. Dept required we use something that could fire .38 spl. So, with not much to offer, it was either going to be S&W or Colt... Went to the shop and I needed to be convinced of which. Then, it was a matter of preference. The S&W rattled a tad when you shook it, the Colt, solid as a rock. So, my love of Colts started up. Within a short period of time, I bought a 4" Nickel Python, 6" Royal Blue Python, a Nickel 1911 MKV Series 70. Short after, ...the Colt Lawman Mark III .357 My carry was the 4" Python and backup was the Lawman. My dept was hell bent on not using revolvers anymore, so I was able to carry the 1911.... (would be nice if they paid something), but truth be told, revolvers were not that expensive, and I already had what I needed. Over the years, I started getting more interest in semi-autos and went with HKs... I sold my 6" to a guy in AZ, my 4" to a kid just out of the academy and my Lawman to the guy that owned my marina... Knowing what we know today for the going price, I kick myself in the arse for getting rid of them. Who would have known. Kept the 1911 only for remembrance. Eventually had it chromed, (nobody does nickel anymore ,(and if so, would be very expensive) ... and fitted with tritium sights my old eyes could see... So, my quest. I just got my hands on an excellent 1976 vintage Lawman Mark III. Must have been in someone's safe for decades because looks like it was never shot. Still had cosmoline on some parts. I got a deal that I could not pass up. I will slowly rebuild my Pony/Pythons of yester-year. My only Colts and hopefully not the last, (excuse the tint and oily prints. They are both shiny mirror like. Hard to get shot without reflection..) :

Great rifle. Have same one. glws

You need a dl... Not a carry permit to buy a shotgun...
