I think I got a good deal considering the quality pieces in both. Both are used and have a few marks here and there but to fine 1911s for sure. JEREMIAH 33:3 | |||

Wow..very nice. That feature atop the slide, on the Helton Custom. We would enjoy seeing it. Those serrations make a 1911 just pop. | |||

If I had the funds to boot, I would have a Hilton Yam Springfield. That ones had my fancy lately. | |||

Thank you. That is some fine work and not everyone can cut those. Time was when nearly every pistol or revolver had a serrated sight plane. | |||

DL, you are welcome. One of my favorite S&W revolvers is the Model 27 with the checkered top strap. I agree with you on this.  JEREMIAH 33:3 | |||

Beautiful 1911’s, both of them. I’ve always liked the bobtail frame. I’ve got a Kobra Carry that I’ve owned a long while. | |||

Very nice. Bobtailing is the only way I can comfortably shoot a 1911.  | |||
