Strayer-Voight INFINITY custom 1911
It's a very unhealthy habit.. : D but I got myself a new 1911.
It is interesting, and it rings true time and time again that the HUNT is a lot of times more exciting than the prize. When I first got into 1911s (and pistols in general) this firearm was my DREAM GUN. 5 years later - I have focused my attention to other guns - and at times have realized the folly of my desires for bling, flash and other things that can be noted as superfluous.
This is one of those things - while my heart has wandered elsewhere this was still on the back of my mind. I first saw this actual gun in 1993. This was when I realized that I adored the blocky look of OPERATOR/FULL DUSTCOVER style 1911s. I had accepted that this gun would never be sold to me - until today that is.
BUSHIDO as I call her for now, treads a delicate line between a race ready ricer and a behemothic combat operative. While we can argue this all night long, she is what she is.
Specs:
Strayer-Voight INFINITY (SVI) custom build full dustcover, 5" government style model.
Built by "big in Japan" pistolsmith Aaron Harris of SMOKING HOLE PISTOL DESIGN.
Bar-Sto bull barrel, MMC adjustible sights, serrated flat top slide, Titanium-Aluminum Nitride black coat, to name a few... Chambered in.. ofcourse.. the venerate man stopping .45 ACP
At any rate.. what's next? Onto the next hunt.
This is one less reason for me to leave Kalifornia since I promised myself that a pistol like this would be my first purchase when I left the kommunist khurch state. Thanks to a loophole, this is in my collection and I get to stay in the golden state a little bit longer.
