dont you love digging in your safe and finding stuff you forgot about?







Same one with the Government Slide

Looks like an old Jim Hoag with that buried Bomar. Good guess or way off?

WOW...I guess you guys here ARE 1911 freaks...

Yes, it is one of Jim's children. All of my 1911's are from him, and they are all Series 70's.

I just finished a custom rifle and wanted to build a 1911 to go with it, so I called Jim. I was digging in the safe for a LNIB Series 70 that I have been saving and found this one...I think the new build will be a fixed sight version of this one

Hey Hoser, you must have at least one from Jim as well since you are in Cali also.

Yep, and seen many pass through my hands and/or friends. Jim's buried Bomars are cool. So is the Hoag beavertail.

Where in Cali are you?

Im in LA. I think this one only has 50 rounds through it with both barrels. I think I need to wear the bluing off of this thing.

I love the look of Hoag guns and am alwsy looking for a longslide.

Thanks for the pics.

OK a while back people couldnt stop laughing when I posted I found an old pre series 70 LW Commander in my safe....
That doesnt compare to this.....

WOW
Good find!
Its nice to find something like this you forgot all about.

I have found cash in the back of the safe and things but its funny I am happier when I find something like the LW Commander even though Ive found cash to buy two or 3 of the LW Commanders.

Well, I went through what I call the "Dark Times". This is the period I went through where I strayed from the path of 1911's and went crazy with double action 45's. I have been kicking myself for it because I would have more Colts if I was faithful. But im back!

I talked to Jim yesterday and am probably going to have him give birth to another work of art. I have one more virgin Series 70

I'm lucky to find a quarter in the bottom of the washing machine every now and then! Great find, and enjoy it!

I just love those old stubby beavertails. I wish they were still available.

I talked to Jim last week and he has them in stock!

Give him a call; 818-998-1510

But I THINK they're only for those who do a pistol with him. Maybe someone can confirm this.

I'd love to be able to buy one to put away for my next project.

this is the second post about finding goodies in your safe. i pulled EVERYTHING out this time...and no surprises some people have all the luck...nice find by the way-cam

Then I guess I shouldnt tell you that I found a NIB SIG P220 K-KOTE / SIGLITE in 45 and a NIB SIG P225 right next to this huh?

Sorry, I had to...

Its been a while since ive been in my safe as you can tell.

LOL...maybe i need a bigger safe-cam

That wont make it any better, you will just fill it up!

I cleaned out my safe and found an old empty Eotech box. Whooo hoooo!
