Is that polished stainless? If so how long did it take to get the results? It looks great!
I assume you're referring to the final pic, the Mark IV Government Model?

If so, it's factory bright stainless or BSS as it's also called. So I don't know how long it took the factory, but certainly much longer than their standard brushed/bead blasted stainless finishes. The wooden grips are correct and original to the gun also.

I know some don't like shiny finishes...but I sometimes do and pretty much couldn't care less. 🙂
 
Here's a pair of 1862 pocket navy gen 2 revolvers circa 1981. One is a shooter, the other pristine.

This guy is a 38 Super from my collection- I have no way of confirming my memory as being accurate at this point- but as I remember it at least, this is/was one of 300 that was produced in this configuration. And yeah- I shot hundreds of rounds through it (I'd like to say thousands of rounds but dang, 38 Super is rather expensive).

The sights are a bit unique on this model as are the grips.

It took about a half decade's worth of waiting, at least 2 years of harassing the Colt Rep's at the PA Great American Outdoor Show but this was a recent purchase, Colt CCU in the Lord's caliber (of course). As alluded to- at least for 2 years, I continued to question the Colt reps if they were even manufacturing 1911's anymore because I had put alerts in place for every major online dealer (as well as local dealer) for this particular model but for years (maybe blame it on COVID) all I saw was revolvers and not this one.

Whelp it came up on one of the alerts I set years ago finally and I snagged it. Can't wait to take this one to the range.

so if you got em, flaunt em Brother. Your submissions so far are solid, but don't be a tease. Throw it up to blow it up. 🙂

(to be fair, including the XSE above, the Pony's I've posted so far are all I've got...unless we move into revolvers that is 🤪)
