Olympic Arms Westerner 1911

This one is just straight up gun porn.  Easily the sexiest 1911 I saw at all of SHOT SHOW 2009.

From SHOT SHOW 2009

Real case hardening on the slide and frame, with the faux bone grips make this the BBQ gun to end all BBQ guns. (If you don’t know what a BBQ gun is, see this link.)

    Hmmm.

    It’s nice, don’t get me wrong, but the case hardening looks out of place with the adjustable sights and the extended beavertail IMHO…

    It’s pretty, yes… but … not … right.

    Case coloring belongs on single-action wheelguns and SxS shotguns, not on autos. :)

    In other news, and feel free to delete this when read, what happened to your archive links? They all go to a blank page with a link for “vpn service” and nothing more.

    Yeah, I’d want different sights on a gun like that if I meant it to be a BBQ gun.

    But the picture doesn’t do this gun justice. It is pure sexiness.

    “Easily the sexiest 1911 I saw at all of SHOT SHOW 2009.” It is easily the sexiest handgun at SHOT Show period.

    Now, the sexy long-gun selection at SHOT is another story. Matched sets of Perazzi shotguns, engraved Blaser rifles… I was dehydrated from drooling so much.

    Yes, the “categories” link is broken for some reason, which I think has to do with a bug in the template I’m running. If you want to get all the SHOT SHOW coverage, click the Gun Nuts logo on the right.
