Years ago I bought a Colt 1911 that they produced in 1991 by starting off with the serial number after the last one for their government contract. It had synthetic grips that I replaced with the walnut diamond grips.

Several years later I mentioned to a friend who customizes pistols that I would love to replace the mainspring housing with one that had a lanyard loop. He said the pistol also had a plastic trigger. He pawed through his old parts and was able to find the lanyard loop and an original long metal trigger.

Then all I needed was something for carrying it. I got a custom made brown left-handed military holster and a WW I belt and a two magazine pouch.

So now that part of my collection is complete.
