Yesterday the fedex man dropped off my belated Christmas gift to myself! a Heirloom Precision signature grade 1911.

Together with the gun that it is modeled after -- an all original "brushed blue" Colt from 1918. Notice the same roll marks and John M Gibert inspection stamps.

Thank you Heirloom and Ted for a pistol that exceeds my expectations. It was worth the wait! :)

Beautiful. Funny how steel and wood can elicit such an emotion. Most modern service guns have no soul. What is the watch? Very neat.

As the third and often quiet member of Heirloom Precision I would like to say that is a beautiful gun and glad you are enjoying it.

While at SHOT, when I was showing guys the raffle gun package, I always called their attention to the box, which was pretty much like yours. As a guy who can make most anything out of metal, but who is a total screwup with wood, I was just amazed by it. I made sure everyone knew that is not something made off shore, not something we got from the "nice boxes" catalog, not something production made in a fancy box factory somewhere.

Those boxes are crafted by Ted Yost.... most excellent stuff! Oh yeah the gun's nice too :D

I, as always, fully concur with Mr. Harrison's assessment of these pistols: "Saaa....weeeeeet!".
Also the other profound statement made by Ross pertaining to the emotion that I am sure all of us 1911 fanatics feel about these steel and wood works of art is "right on target". These guns represent what I feel is the Holy Grail of the Custom 1911. In my short 10 year search for MY perfect 1911, I can now say "MY SEARCH is over", because of these guns pictured here. I think the term: "warm and fuzzy" is how I feel at this moment. Thanks for sharing these fine pistols with all of us. What a great contribution you have made to this site with these great photos.
