Name Your Top Three!

Hmm. Good question!

Off the top of my head:

- a '50s to '60s bullseye 1911 in good condition, like a Chow, Day, or Giles
- a full-out fighting gun by Liebenberg, Vickers, or Heinie
- one of those nicely blued commercial 1911A1s from the '30s

Chuck Rogers

Jason Burton

Alex Zimmerman

 

Jason Burton
John Harrison
Steve Bailey

 

GI Model 3 with 45acp conversion
Colt commander with serial # 00001LW
Custom build from Bob Rodgers, Chuck Rogers, Dave Berryhill and Chuck Warner (this counts as one since I would order them at the same time).

 

Definitely three top customs...

 

Early Colt 1911
Chuck Rogers Custom.
Les Baer Custom, Mono Heavy weight in 10mm. I know, this one is as much a pipe dream as the first two.

 

Wow, only 3! Let's see...........

Pistol Dynamics Combat Special
Les Baer HVY Mono in 10mm (if I could talk Les into doing one!!!)
Heirloom Precision Colt GCNM Series 70

 

Chuck Rogers Build
The Thug by MARS Armament
Teddy Jacobson:thumb:

 

One From:
John Harrison
Chuck Rogers
and a
Wilson (I have always wanted one, even though I think there may be better options)

 

I don't think Teddy is building complete pistols anymore. The last time I talked to him he had given it up and is just doing trigger jobs and minor gunsmith work. His trigger work is exceptional.......at least the 1911's and Sigs that he had done for me over the years.

 

I wish I had more hands, so i could give this thread 4 thumbs down. Where are the pics to drool over, eh?

I'm seriously thinking about a Yost/Burton build if I can sell a few things, so it may be a reality for me.

My list.


1. Yost/Burton collaboration of sorts - There are two from each that I like the most, so I'd like find a mix of the two




2. Bob Rodgers/Chuck Rogers - Seen a few done before so it should could as one.



3. Ned Christiansen - To be different since I rarely seen him mentioned, and he does some wild stuff. His Conamyds are definitely unique.

 

I shot a Kimber that Teddy worked over, it was freakin awesome:hail:

 

That is fanF'ingtastic. One of the best looking guns I have ever seen. Jason is so freaking good. :hail:

 

MC Operator sent of to Chuck Rogers
Send My Springer GI to Chuck Rogers
Have a smith build me an officer 9mm

 

I'm totally novice here with these custom builds, so I'm going to just read and learn, The few I see here look fantastic...maybe someday, maybe....

I'm just not yet ready to run with the big dogs...someday maybe!

 

A man after my own heart. 10mm Mono Hvy..... There is a fella on TOS who actually has one...

 

Singer, Chen, Jardine



Not a Series 80, but you get the idea...
