OK, this post is about the chrome finish I'm getting done to my compact 1911. The frame will be finished in hard chrome, the slide wil be finished in a checkered pattern (.75 inch squares in brush and satin chrome) similar to that of the checkered flag you see at the end of the race. This will be done to commemorate my first year in Charlotte, home of NASCAR. The work is being done by Duane Davis from Elite Custom Plating and Weaponry (www.elitecustomguns.com), he is even adding a Wilson Combat thumb safety. This is the same guy that does all the work for Wilson Combat, among other custom guns. His shop is down the road from my house, so I feel lucky. Pictures will follow...

Disclaimer: "The Racist" is a play on words. It is a combination of the idea of a race gun and the term shootist. The checkered pattern should bring it all together. Those of you who know me, know that the conventional definition of the term "racist" is no implication of my personal views. I find bigotry in all its forms appalling, and reiterate that I do not imply that this firearm has any ties to racism (or any isms for that matter). However, in this world of political correctness we sometimes need to explain our actions so that the growingflockof modernAmericans isn't offended.

Why are you singling out your preference to Chrome?? huh??!!

Pink or red guns are not "good enough??!!" :lol:

Why are you compelled to remove the black gun from existence? :D

OK! We are just goofing here... I actually prefer black guns. Chrome is OK if you want to be flashy.

Well, as long as you limit the definition of "family" to a handgun, a shotgun, and a rifle, as God intended. If you have two shotguns and no rifle, or two rifles and no shotgun, it might confuse your handgun, and then your handgun might grow up and think it's OK to co-inhabit a lockbox with another handgun.

And God forbid your handgun hooks up with a different-colored handgun... then you might end up with a "Springfield Compact .45 ACP" with "a nickel slide, matt black lower". What would people think???

:what:

Don't get me started on those gun socks...

The Gold Cup could be considered "Obama Carry"?

Handgun color/finish.
Any color is good as long as it is chambered in 10mm;), with a few exceptions.

I would personally choose NP3 (Robar) over chrome.

However, Hard Chrome does look nice.:D

Well dUuh! I wonder how many can define 'racist' without lapsing into new-speak. My man, Neal Boortz rants regularly on 'racism', 'bigotry' and 'prejudice'; his point being that fifty years of abuse of our language by evil special interest advocacy groups have left us nearly unable to, unable to publicly, address these issues.

I always thought the 10MM was the answer to a question nobody was dying to ask...I prefer stainless, if pushed to make a choice...:what:But I have many Jewish friends and one of them likes old S&W blue. So that makes him a traditionist. When someone figures out the point of this post, please let me know....

The point of the post is supposed to be the introduction of my refinished OC piece that is being finished in a checkered flag patter n on the slide to commemorate my first year of life in Charlotte, the home of NASCAR. It is a race inspired, and therefore it is dubbed "The Racist". The name is also an attempt at scoffing the race baters and the politically correct crowd.
