Thank you, sir!

I've had all the high speed, low drag 1911's (Wilson, Brown, Nighthawk) and this one is the only one I can't see myself being without.

It has allowed me to see the GENIUS in JMB design. It works PERFECTLY, without checkering, beaver tails, over travel stops, slotted trigger, FLGR, etc

It is absolutely perfect, and resides in Athens, so if anyone here wants to shoot it, hit me up, and you are all more than welcome to put it through it paces!

wow, what year is she?

She sure is pretty, I haven't heard of the Tier III is it some kind of upgraded 1911 without the a1 modifications?

It is an exact reproduction of the original 1911 designed by JMB.

None of that A1 crap OR firing pin safety on this baby

And it was built in the Colt Custom Shop!

It is epic awesomeness!

Please forgive the lack of humility, but I adore this weapon!
