Springfield Champion with 4" barrel. The discerning eye will note a number of custom touches, all of which were carried out by anon. The fiber optic front sight, the custom trigger, new grips; he did all that work himself (and he did a helluva job on the trigger). The duracoat was performed by a specialist, but other than that it was all his handiwork.
He showed me some before pictures - the previous owner fancied himself an amateur gunsmith, with heavy emphasis on amateur. He had attempted to remove the hammer pins with a drift punch - and badly at that - and gouged the hell out of the sideplate in the process. Naturally, he attempted to fix that with a Dremel. You'd never know it now, but it looked like hell - and was priced accordingly.
Now my friend has one sweet bowling pin gun and the satisfaction of knowing he took something ugly and made it beautiful again...
That is all.

Was it modified from a 5" or 4.25" or does springer make a 4" 1911 that I'm unaware of?
And if mods were made what recoil spring/rod were used?
Custom 1911s really get me excited!
