Its been quite some time since I actually posted something worthwhile, let alone with half decent pics.

With a little help from some of the gentleman here, the pics are getting better.

The following guns started out as a very badly rusted(right side) Colt Gov. .38 super and a Commander top end. I could never quite decide exactly how I wanted to go about the builds. Well, I finally got off my butt and Finished them.

The pictures will include obligatory fingerprints,lint,dust and shadows.......Both have 9mm conversions as well.

Very sharp pair! Got a 38 Super Commander on an light weight frame still in the works here...this motivates me to "get off my butt"! :lol: Chuck your square trigger guards always look so perfect, great job.

I've never been a big fan of squared trigger guards on 1911's, but those look great!

The .38 Super Commander is beautiful, love the square trigger guard!

Both builds are extremely detailed, your style is unmistakable!

Well done on both Colt's, Chuck!
