I've had photos used off my flickr account before. Ended up on a web news site. Told them to pay or take them down. They took them down. Guess it only works sometimes.

I am sure one can find a way around the block, but most won't work at it that hard

Nice gun....Is the slide taller than a 1911?  It looks different than my colt but may be the angle of the camera.  I like the external extractor....

The slide is more squared than a mil spec 1911. Think that makes it look taller. A little about the gun.

Natural stainless finished slide with polished flats

I need to find a good leather holster for it. Does anyone do custom leather work in Lincoln. I'm sure the slide profile not being standard 1911 that this pistol will not work in a standard leather holster.

Let me know if I can help with that.  That is one nice looking pistol!
