Friday, I got a call from the dealer I ordered it from. He ordered it on July 15th - my stainless Special Forces came in Friday afternoon. I went and picked it up yesterday
The sun was too far down in the sky for me to get better pics, but here is one with the factory grips...
I'll tell ya what - the dealer had a Nighthawk T3 in stock - stainless model. I shot a Nighthawk T3 back in May, and that is what got me back on the 1911 kick a few month's ago. I really liked that gun... Anyway, while I was there, I asked the dealer to see the stainless Nighthawk T3 I knew he had in stock.... I was thinking of asking him if I could move my deposit over to the Nighthawk - and buy that instead... I thought about it on the drive there.
But, I played with both guns for about 10 minutes, as he did other things. I considered asking, but in the end, I decided I wanted the Brown more. I had the extra $$ on me, since I didn't buy anything at the gun show yesterday. But, as tempting as it was, I wanted what I ordered originally. I am also glad I called Ed Brown after I made the initial order - I made one change - thin grips instead of normal grips.
After getting that Dan Wesson Valor back in July, I've fallen in love with its thinner grips.
Anyway here is a couple of indoor photos of the Special Forces with some sand colored VZ grips someone gave me. They were taken off his Valor and never used. I was going to go with them until I saved up for a black pair to match the Valor. But, after having them on all yesterday evening and looking at them - they've grown on me. I think I'll keep them...
What do you guys think about the grip color?
