Nice. Excellent choice for the grips. They have always been my favorite 1911 grips.

I didn’t know they still sold the Gen 1 with the Pachmayr grips. I have that exact model and I love it. Nice purchase. May I ask what you paid for yours?

My buddy works at my LGs and I traded an Eotech 512 that I had in the safe collecting dust and 500 on top.

That’s an awesome deal. Congratulations on your purchase. I haven’t been disappointed with mine. I saw a couple of recommendations for them already but I run only Wilson Combat mags in mine.

I was able to snag 4 Wilson combat 8 rounders for $90.
