Thread: Para gi 1911 45acp

Yep I brought one recently very very cheap at a gun show. It had been painted with what looked like beige house paint. I think the person that had it was embarrassed to have it, it was so ugly. Basically gave it away.
Underneath the paint there was a mint barely used 1911. Have now run maybe 500 rounds through it. Been very good. Great trigger. Non adjustable sight is a detractor as it shoots a couple inches low at 15 yards for my preferred sight alignment.

Why would anyone paint it.

This is good buying, https://www.shooterready.co.nz/shop/...cp-sn-ba47174/

No judgement from me, I'd encourage them to paint lots of things. I can even supply a list of things I'd like painted. That way I can buy them for pennies on the dollar, spend an evening getting rid of the paint and have some very cheap toys afterwards...

Nothing stopping you putting adjustable sights on them though. Standard dovetail slots.
