As with all of us who admire craftsmanship, I recently found an interesting base piece; a Colt Series 80 with Special Combat on it and the serial number of COMBAT 200. Well I sent it to Matt Davis of M D Custom Machine. This will be the 4th gun of his that has passed through my little retail operation and with each one you can see a bit more detail in each work.

By the way, this one is on the way to its new owner in Louisana.

As usual please pardon the pictures, as I an no "perfussional picker taker" but got enough so you can see the work.







I am trying to figure out what to do next. Anyway, thanks for looking and you may see this one somewhere else in the future.

i have never seen a colt marked that way. is that a new or old model?

I am not the best photog, but here is the MD Special Combat with some very nice 5-Shot leather.



Bad pics of the front strap, sorry for the lint and other stuff in the front strap. I didn't have a lot of time to take these pics.

Just a couple more.

That's purty! I'm loving the big hole in the hammer as opposed to the now more common oval slot.

Love the entire package.
Its awsome.

Maybe it is my imagination but isn' t this one pictured in the Brownell's Catalog.

maybe around page 66?

Also featured on Page 6 of the Brownells 1911 Catalog No. 5.

MD # 008 spent the first day of the year on the range. Here are some pics after that range session.
I often wish I could see some of the great builds posted on this forum after they have been shot and used for a while, so I thought I would update this thread with some pics of this gun as it looks now.

Very nice!!! I also like your backdrop...(best pack ever TAD Gear Fast pack V-3)

I haven't seen anything come from TAD gear that wasn't quality.

It has been my experience as I have been in the custom business for a while the best compliment to the craftsmen who create these pieces is to use them. And really use them

Too true my friend. Patrick is definitely good people.

Well this one was broken in at a Ken Hackathorn Advanced Pistol class in November that Wayne Dobbs hosted in Texas. I also met a friend of yours that was also in that class, Terry.

And that pistol was the envy of all, and ran like a champ. Well shot too...

That is only because my tupperware and kydex shooting was Cigar assisted...
If only we boys in blue could regularly relay on back-up that shot as well as you and that pistol, the world would be a better place, take care and congrats again on a great pistol and good peformance, see you on the range!
