View Quote She's taped because I was too lazy to take it to a smith to see if they would pin it plus it has worked since I got her new (about 2-5 years ago iirc). Also I'm not sure if a smith might refuse to pin the grip safety as technically it would be deactivating a "safety feature". Namely it's taped in case for some reason I'm unable to engage the grip safety and need to pull the trigger. I used to iwb carry her in a Crossbreed wearing a set of Pachmayers for that "Meusoc" look as well as the functional front strap checkering but have since relegated her to night stand duty and don't have to worry as much about dinging/cracking the ivory. ETA: @AJBello that gun is beautiful I love the full rear sight and slide serrations and slide stop/thumb safety/pin set contrast. I need to invest in a nice leather owb holster and extra magazine holster eventually too. |

I bet those Pachmayrs were a tight stretch across the frontstrap on that Baer!

In all seriousness I have only shot it with the factory wood grips. But even with the checkering, the pach grips feels like they give a better purchase to me, and I like that the texture and material is consistent on the front and side, while still having the very aggressive 20lpi MSH. |

That would pass for M45. Springfield built pistols that were basically Pros with no checkering with USMC serial numbers. They got front serrations later at Quantico iirc.

Yep. That's one.
I lost all my pics on a crashed hard drive, but I had just about every meusoc 1911 ever photographed, a lot of cool stuff out there. |

I may have to check with sacs if they can mill the front serrations like the one in the pic, and apply the black T over it. Hmmm.... |

Cool pic, check out the home made slam pad on the spare mag at left in the photo.
I'm guessing an early Rogers/Safariland kydex holster? |
