Picked up the SCG yesterday.

[JustinTime]

I picked her up yesterday and had to go straight to work. I just got around to post the pics of her for you. Poor Joni, with all the new SCG's showing up here and hers still on order shes gonna go crazy. Anyway I can't wait to see how it shoots. Maybe this weekend. I really like the attention to detail Colt put into this pistol. Especially the S&A beaver tail. Too bad you can't buy a quality Colt for under $2000.00 :D

Man that is one beautiful Colt! I am jealous.

[Joni Lynn]

The nickel frame set against the perfect black of the slide is really a striking look. I really like it!

[JustinTime]

Thanks Hunter, I wanted a stainless Gold Cup or this one and in the end I chose this one because of the conventional cocking serrations. Now I need a Gold Cup too. Whats wrong with me? :butthead:

Nothing is wrong with you, there are Colt's out there and they aren't yet in your possession. The only way to fix it is to buy them.

[swampthang]

Glock, excuse me for coveting thy Colt she is a real beauty and some nice pics too.........Joni glad to here your ponies are finally coming.

Glad to hear there is nothing wrong with me. Also glad that I'm on the right track buying all I can.

[Joni Lynn]

I found this set of grips and took one photo before the camera quit. These grips don't look right on the SCG so I stuck Alumigrips on it. I'll post a pic when I get the camera working again.

Is that your new 45 that you've been waiting on?

Atreides

[Joni Lynn]

That's it. I picked it up today after work.

[Atreides]

That's it. I picked it up today after work.


That's a nice piece. Be sure to tell us how it shoots. I guess I am going to have to break down and pay real money to get mine. But I just got my GCT back from Novak's. The bushing fit made it very much worth the wait.

Atreides

[Joni Lynn]

Would you like a SCG in 2 tone? If you want one, PM me.

[JustinTime]

That's it. I picked it up today after work.

:( And I can't see it from my work computer.

[matt colvin]

Glockinload, BEAUTIFUL Colt sir! You all and your awesome Colts are killing me right now....and this is just another example of the great American icon that is the 1911. I'd really like to have an SCG. But the Baer that just came in has temporarily broke the gun bank, so it'll be awhile before anymore purchases are made. And I NEED to start reloading....arghhh, priorities :p

[Joni Lynn]

I didn't like those grip on it so they now live on my RRA, I tried Alumigrips and then Cocobolo.........the last one is the winner for me!

[dogdollar]

Joni,
What a fantastic Colt. Excellent choice. Just wait until you shoot it........

A lot of nice pics here..... Is there a smiley face wearing a bib to catch all the drool??

:D

[JustinTime]

Is it a pic of the two tone or the hard chrome? I can't wait til I get home to find out.

[TattooPaul]

She is gorgeous, Justin!!! Awesome fit and finish. Nice pics to boot. You know, you'd be better off just throwing it at the target... I still don't get what some folks think but, hey, more for us right!

I guess I'm glad more people don't get it. Keeps the prices down and the selection up for the Colt afficianados. Just as long as they sell enough to keep Colt in business.

[TattooPaul]

Seems like they sell just fine!!! I do my part... and will continue to do so whenever I can!

Thanks Paul. If I throw it at the target it might get scratched up and I don't want a scratched up door stop. Yup, the more the better.

"Glockenspiel"... das ist gut, yah!!! I like that! :)

[d90king]

unreal guns we are the lucky ones they are very hard to come by i have a matching pair of hard chromed consecutive numbered scg that where test fired 2/9/07 by same guy pretty kool and i just lucked into it i might have to find a third so i can shoot one its killin me dont want to fire these two because of the luck of the numbering and because how few guns are coming from colt these days lucky i bought a gct and that gun is truely amazing also a shame more people dont get to enjoy absolutley one of the great custom shop guns and among the finest 1911 made period!!!!!
have fun shootin
patrick

[d90king]

that grip looks greattttttttt on that gun wow

[JustinTime]

Glockinspiel, you have yourself one beautiful gun there!!! Enjoy! :)

Danke Jeff

[JustinTime]

Joni your hard chrome SCG looks awesome.

[Joni Lynn]

Thanks.
I know there's absolutely no reason for it, but I'd still like to get one in the 2 tone finish.
I took mine apart for a check over and lube yesterday. I hope it shoots well because the bushing is loose in the slide. Maybe the recoil spring plug will help hold it in place.
I just know I'll be calling EGW for a bushing soon.

[clughog]

Justin, that's a beautiful pistol! Great pictures, too. The two-tone is definitely my favorite for the SCG, but they're all super nice. Ok, so that's another one that I just have to get! Congratulations!

Do you have a pair of calipers to measure the difference between the two?

I thought you already ordered a two tone. There is a reason why you'd like to get the two tone. Because you can never have enough Colts.

Some day when I am really old I'll understand the "wisdom" of buying a gun and not shooting it :butthead:

Peace

Atreides

[d90king]

first i must admit i am a little nutty that way but i approach it differently than most. as a enthusiast i love guns and the 1911 and i buy guns to shoot and shoot often . but i also look at other guns as good investments and as
things that i get to enjoy at the same time while getting the same return as if the money was in the bank.when you are presented with a unique chance at back to back numbers on a gun like the scg that enhances the value of the pair you just buy another to shoot maybe the two tone which looks great or do what joni did with hers she did a great job by the way and end up with the best of both worlds

I absolutely love that grain! Just beautiful!

[Joni Lynn]

I have calipers and will do some measuring, but I'm not doing anything about it until I've had a chance to sit down and shoot it off a bench.
I ordered the hard chrome SCG first and found a 2 tone at a dealers. I don't care for the fit of the barrel in the 2 tone so I'm giving it a pass. I may get one later on.
Almost all my grips come from Esmeralda. My series 80 Gold Cup has a set of Herrett's.

when you say fit of the barrel what are you refering to? i am looking to pick one up and am curious what the diff would b from my hard chromed scg

[Joni Lynn]

The barrel isn't firm at the rear, when I pressed down on it I could feel it move.
Functionally there should be no difference between a 2 tone and a hard chrome except manufaturing variation.

thank you i will look out for that when buying

[Joni Lynn]

I'm pretty happy with my new SCG, it's well finished and pretty well fit.
When the mud dries a bit I'll take it to the range and report on it.

Ah, the barrel isn't sitting on its legs while in battery. Will you post a picture of the target they sent with it please?

[Joni Lynn]

The gun I got has a nice firm barrel at the rear, no movement that I detect. The target was a round hole about the size of a silver dollar and shot at 15 yards. When I get a chance I'llget a pic of it.
