New Ed Brown came in!

Got a call yesterday from the dealer I ordered it from. He ordered it on July 15th - my stainless Special Forces came in yesterday afternoon. I went and picked it up today

The sun is too far down in the sky for me to get better pics, but here is one...





I'll tell ya what - the dealer had a Nighthawk T3 in stock - stainless model. I shot a T3 back in May, and that is what got me back on the 1911 kick a few month's ago. I really liked that gun... Anyway, while I was there, I asked the dealer to see the stainless T3 I knew he had in stock.... I was thinking of asking him if I could move my deposit over to the Nighthawk - and buy that instead... I thought about it on the drive there.

But, I played with both guns for several minutes, as he did other things. I considered asking, but in the end, I decided I wanted the Brown more. I had the extra $$ on me, since I didn't buy anything at the gun show today. But, as tempting as it was, I wanted what I ordered originally. I am also glad I called and made the one change - thin grips instead of normal grips.

After getting that Dan Wesson Valor back in July, I've fallen in love with its thinner grips.

Anyway - I'll try to take a better photo tomorrow

Thanks... I took a few indoor pics... Someone hooked me up with some sand colored Valor thin grips a while back. I saved them for the Brown. I love these grips in black on my stainless Valor...

I planned to get another set in black, but for now I am using these... They are the same - just a different color...

Do you guys think it goes? I may just leave them on there instead of buying another set in black... What's the opinion?

They are sand colored grips from the black coated Dan Wesson Valor originally. Someone took them off their new Valor right away, and put some other grips on their Valor. They even say "Dan Wesson on the inside of the VZ Grips

Thanks. at first, I thought that they were too light. But now, I think I'm gonna keep them. No point in paying $60+ more dollars for a black pair just like the ones on my Valor.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone

OK - I got to shoot it today - put 100 rounds thru it.

VERY smooth. Worked 100%. No issues. Very accurate.

I also love the chainlink texturing... And, the trigger pull is perfect. It's probably around 4lbs. The Ed Brown I had around 5 years ago was closer to 3, and I found that a little too light.

I considered changing out the rear sight to the same kind my Dan Wesson has. But after shooting it, I'm not going to both. Until I got the DW, I only liked 3 dot sights. The Brown has 3 dot sights. The gun is so accurate, that I don't feel like messing with it. No need to set up both guns exactly alike.

Also, I did a few double taps - fantastic. Second shot hit so close to the first... Probably best I've shot on some of those doubletaps...

Here are a couple of newer photos with the new grips. I am going to keep the VZ G10 double diamond grips on it afterall...






And, I've always loved the perfect, white circles on the sights that Brown uses - very bright around the tritium:
