Very nice. I carried a Champion Operator for years. Your safety is off by the way. Of course, I see there isn't a magazine in the gun either so I assume it isn't loaded. :thumb:
It's empty. ;)

When I was playing around taking pics I thought it looked better with the hammer back.

Damn, I miss shooting that Omega and that AMT. We need to get together soon man. I still have that ammo I need to get to you for the boys too.



I can't remember when I shot either one of 'em!

Been focusing on milsurps lately...it's a sickness.


Let's get together man, it's been too long!


Seeing those pics of your hardware bring back memories of some really good times - no homo!

Wouldn't it figure, fits perfectly in the Goddamn Taurus. Oh well, that's one I couldn't get rid of anyway. Guess I'm going to be listing three Springfield Loaded 1911s.

I have to say, I've shot @Hayata's Taurus 1911 several times and I actually liked it. IF I were in the market for a budget 1911 a Taurus would be at the top of my list. You get several features typically only found in 1911's that cost twice as much.

Need to work on getting this old warhorse redone! Trying to decide if I should try getting the original slide (top) blued to match frame, or if even possible! Or go another route on the finish!

The only two things keeping me from owning a Taurus 1911:
- I hate a gun with a massive billboard on the side
- they still don't offer a commander sized weapon
