What are the yellow/black grips on the Remington r1 ? I like em

Not my gun, but they look to me like VZ Operator II, but not sure about the color. May be a trick of the lighting making them look yellow

I want a set of the operators II in tiger for my emp, will wait though.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Picture from another thread. Colt MK IV Series 80 and 1991A1 Compact, Kimber Ultra CDP II and Springfield Armory Operator.
I love the look of that 1991A1 and the Kimber. If you ever get interested in selling either one, I’d like a shot at it… 🙂

I’m in here’s my daily carry gun, Springfield emp 40s&w hope close enough to play. Fit my small hands better.

Edit I didn’t like the fist picture.

How are you liking the EMP? I rented a 9mm version at a local range, and I liked it a lot. It was really soft shooting and really just a joy to use. Expensive, but it seemed worth it to me from that short amount of time.

Here we go, a Springfield Armory Loaded:

Just bought one the other day. Is yours the Ambi Safety?

I like it so much once I have the money I’m going to buy another. My daughter laid claim to this one and once she turns 18 it will be hers. Plus I want some work done to it so I have to have another, that way I’m not without while its away. Decided it would be nice to give my son and daughter matching pistols I had carried.

Here is a little more eye candy.

This bad boy is all high-speed low drag.
Built to my specifications, high-capacity .38 Super by Kevin Toothman. After it was built I shot this for three months and put about 5000 rounds through it before Kevin would let me blue it just to make sure all the bugs where worked out (It ran from day one and he never had to touch it.)

This gun is a blank slate. This was the first Remington 1911 my dealer got in. I put 500 flawless rounds through it immediately. Since its pretty vanilla, I’ve decided to send it off and get the necessaries done. I just can’t make up my mind where I want to send it.

Heard good things about Alchemy, but when I get ready for some work think I’m going back to Springfield. Here’s the link http://1911doctor.com/

Got to admit that there is no handgun I shoot better than a Gov. sized steel 1911, but I would never carry it, have qualms about relying on it for SD (without a full time armorer to back me up) and wonder if it is worth a grand to just have a range gun I would love.

OK, I am ready for JMB’s loyal minions to put a big hole in me;)

Yep, ambi safety. To be honest, I’m not sure if I like the ambidextrous safety or not. My two carry guns (XD-45, Chiappa Rhino .357) don’t have a manual safety, so I’m not super proficient with it. When trying my 1911 in a few different holsters, I noticed the right-side safety seems to stick out, or make itself more “out there” than I’m comfortable with. It’s probably just a matter of training, but if I had to do it over, I’d get a single-sided safety. Still, it’s a fantastic pistol and there’s nothing else in the world that looks as good as a 1911!
On another note, I replaced Springfield’s two-piece full length guide rod (that requires an Allen wrench to remove) with a Wilson Combat FLGR and Shok Buff kit, that is just a smidge shorter, allowing you to field strip it with no tools. Very affordable and makes it that much nicer to shoot and easier to clean.
