Just got my O1991 back from the Colt's Custom Shop!

[daveyisgreat]

And it is gorgeous! Absolutely beautiful! I just opened it up so I haven't fed it yet, I know it's hungry... I know I'm still pretty much a novice gun owner, but is it ever a beauty now! Just outstanding work!
I requested the "Model O" package, along with an extended thumb safety and a checkered mainspring housing (instead of the stock nylon). I also requested that they flare the ejection port which they opened up just a bit on the other side as well.
I am just extremely pleased!
Pictures will come, and will be enjoyed by all...

Congratulations!

I'll be looking forward to the pictures and range report!

Glad to hear about a good report and another satisfied Custom Shop customer. They did my Combat Elite vintage 1990 a short while back and I too was very impressed with the work done. Hey! glad you are really happy with your gun and I can hardly wait to see pictures.

Quite nice! I always like wood with medallions best.

[DblTap.45]

very nice. Got to say i like the wood grips best.

[Spyros]

Nice! I think I prefer it will wood on it, though...

[GOA Guy]

Very nice piece! I'd go with wood however, that is the best looking pattern of alumagrips I've seen.

Very nice. My preference is wood grips with Colt medallion. It looks a lot better and really, really looks like a Colt.

[daveohno]

Lookin' good! I. as most here, prefer wood stocks on my pistols. But for use, I prefer something else, be it alumagrips or rubber. These hold up best for use, while wood is for when I want to be lookin' good.

How soon for the range report?

[DuckRyder]

VERY NICE, it looks perfect!

I prefer the wood!

[Deadman]

nice.

call me a heretic but I like the Alumigrips.

[txrick55]

Those alumnigrips are nice, but I have to agree the woods really set it off !!

[Mhanis]

nice.

call me a heretic


Heretic.


Since you asked.............Wood.

[ZWILD1]

Wow! It looks really good. The Alumna grips make it look more stealth like. I think some G10 black double diamond grips from VZ would look good too. I just got out of all my G10 type grips. I like everyone else decided that a good set of well made wood grips have a warmer look and feel better to me. I really like the blue gun though and the O package turned out super good. Good luck and enjoy shooting it.

Looks really good. Mind if I ask what the turn around time was? I'm thinking about sending my series 70 in for some work.

[OD*]

Congratulations, the pistol looks great (with either set of stocks ;)).

[BBossman]

ALL Colt's deserve quality wood grips. Save the tacti-cool stuff for the off brands. Nice blaster!

It took about 13 weeks or so. I sent it in the second week of December, but they were also shut down over Christmas.

Thanks. It's a bit of a wait, but judging from your pics it's worth the wait.
