It's gotta be over a decade ago when I first came across @RCSchauland 's first ACW website in all its HTML 1911 doctor glory 😎 and sent him every Colt I could get my grubby hands on.
Well, he's still the 1911 doctor in my book. Here's a wedding gift Wilson CQB he worked over to bring it to as close to perfect as you can get, as this is the one 1911 I have decided to keep.
Aesthetically, not much changed. Internally, we've got a welded and re-fit frame & slide, a 3.5 pound rolling trigger break, re-fit barrel, a very well fit bushing, a new trigger shoe, the disconnector mod, HRT mod, some de-horning and safety re-shaping to what I've come to prefer.
The tolerances and smoothness are what you would expect from a top notch shop like his.
Top it off with clean DLC and he brought life back into this old pistol.
I'm not one much for photos, but I wanted to share this one for all you other addicts.
Thanks again Rob!
