1911 Case Colored

What a fantastic gun. I picked mine up last week and it is exquisite. The case coloring looks 10x better in real life than any of the pictures. I chose not to get the engraving because I feel it takes away from the case coloring and I upgraded to the ebony walnut grips which are stunning. The coloring on mine is beautiful; it's almost too nice looking to shoot. The FFL I used for the transfer carries many higher end 1911's and they were very impressed by the fit-up of all the parts. There isn't any play in the slide and it racks like it is on ball bearings. As impressed as they were with the fit, everyone was more impressed by the case colored finish. What a beauty. I shot it for the first time today and it is a joy to shoot. The first 20 rounds shot out the bull's eye at 10 yards. My only complaint is that the fit of the bushing is so tight that a bushing wrench should have been included with the gun. I had to purchase a Kimber tool before I could field strip the gun. If you are on the fence about purchasing this 1911, just do it; you won't regret the purchase.

Just received the Color Cased 1911. Absolutely beautiful! The guys at the gun shop were drooling over it!

The only improvement I would make (or option) for this gun is a "nitro blue" trigger.

Sweeeeet trigger. Another stunner from the guys at Standard Mfg.

I own and shot several of the "ultra high end" 1911 .45 caliber handguns. Les Bauer,Wilson Combat, Republic Forge,Springfield,Kimber among others. The Standard Manufacturing 1911 belongs in this group of manufacturers. The quality of build and accuracy are incredible, beyond that are the unique looks. Beautiful!! Five stars and beyond!! One of my favorite weapons!!
