Ugly Gun Sunday
What happens when Bubba snorts some crystal meth and attacks his pistol with power tools? You get ugly.......Stupid ugly. Some knucklehead decided to "lighten" this Colt pistol to make it more conducive to carry. 
By whacking off great gobs of slide mass, Bubba was forced to move the rear sight forward, reducing the sight radius. Here are Bubba's selling points:
The Clip Draw device is not a substitute for a holster. It works OK for short jaunts if you have a good gun belt. For prolonged concealed carry it is not sufficient. For a carry gun without a holster, this pistol certainly has some big holes for lint and other trash to gather in. The beveled bottom edge of the slide looks like an inebriated chimp held the file. The grip safety appears to have been fitted with a hammer and chisel. The bobbed hammer......I'm speechless. Bubba did chose a good trigger though. To bad he trashed the rest of the gun around it.
$2,500.00 as a starting bid?
No.

If he wanted an open slide he should have just bought a Beretta.
Egads!?!
What's with the big circle in the side??
About the only thing a person could do with a gun like that is cut some of the frame away and create a "cutaway" 1911 for educational purposes. I sure wouldn't be firing it, certainly would never consider carrying it, and at no point would I ever dream of paying $2500 for one; that kind of cash will buy a brand new Springfield Armory Professional model. Or a quite well equipped more "pedestrian" 1911 and two or three other guns of your choice.
Some people are just too stupid to have guns.

It's a hole he drilled through the slide.
Ugh. The only "useful" modification he made to the gun was the bobtail. The slide cuts? That little circle cut-out? Utterly useless, pointless, and ugly. Bobbed hammer? Why didn't he just install a "commander" hammer? The trigger's nice, but I've got just as good a trigger by polishing the factory sear on my Springfield and dropping in a "gunshow special" adjustable trigger. The reduced safety seems pointless; I have a Wilson extended ambi safety on mine, and have never had a problem with it "chafing."
And that Clipdraw thing just adds to the ugliness and pointlessness of the gun.
I might give 50 bucks to him for the parts. $2,500 is ludicrous.
All it needs is front slide serrations resembling lightning bolts and its good to go.
The circle is apparently a hole drilled into the slide by Bubba to let more dirt into the gun's internals.
I'm truly speechless... Checking out the close ups with the auction lets one appreciate what a truly awful hackjob this is. There doesn't seem to be a single surface or piece on this gun that hasn't been messed up.
This is a clear case of cruelty against firearms. Put down the power tool and step away slowly, Bubba! Don't make the ghost of St. John Moses Browning come down and haunt you!
if you actually put that in your waistband, the rear sight would catch below the seams of the pants just below the belt line. all, in all, looks like a fun project if you have lots of guns and no sense. certainly not a carry weapon.

It's amazing how much money was spent ruining a fine gun.
Posting this so close to the great man's birthday shows increadible lack of thought....;)
ps, has the retard's truck got an open crank engine?
Aaaaaarrrgh! Please stop, please stop, please stop.....no more, we beg you....
You could get 5 Taurus 1911s for that price.
The only other way to ruin the pistol further is to take a sledgehammer and obliterate it.
I can understand the intent, but you really have to know what you're doing. Otherwise, the "elimination of the unnecessary" becomes unnecessary compromises that can directly affect reliability and performance. For instance, with a compromised slide, I'd be frightened of the thing fracturing on me during use! At least, with a Beretta, the pistol and its parts were designed AND built with an open slide in mind.
Besides, as others have said, this venture was also pointless. If you wanted an M1911A1 that is properly modified intently for concealed carry, it would be better to get something like the Kimber Ultra-Carry.
You'd also have the benefit of a warranty, too!
auction closed. Maybe they said it ain't safe we are stopping this.
He needs a good hangin for that sacrilege:-)
Some people are just too stupid to have guns.
AMEN to that! Maybe it's "friends" like this guy who give the anti-gun crowd their reason for being!
hell, if all unnecessary metal is to be removed, just chuck the thing in the trash and throw the bullet at the perp. what an idiot!
I cannot believe it, I just can't believe it. I am 55 years and thought I had seen everything and now...this???
EGADS!!
What a butcher job!
If you want a light 45, there are plenty on the market.
I wouldn't shoot this thing - I wouldn't be near it when someone did.
Hacking off pieces of metal to lighten a machine needs to be done carefully. And shortening the sights to that length is about moronic.
I wonder if the slide is forged or investment cast. I wonder if the guy who hacked it up knows. Yo don't just hack pieces off a machine without specific design and metallurgic knowledge.
The comment about a hyper bubba with a saw and grinder is spot-on.
has a sackful of 1911's maybe?
I did this to a car once. It was first a Lamborghini. I cut off the roof, put on go-cart tires, took out the engine and installed a chainsaw engine with a pull-start installed by the gear stick. Then I put a gas mask on the headrest of the driver's seat attached to the exhaust.
I didn't get very far, and had to sell it for reasons that you can determine for yourselves.
What, you don't like the hammer? I bobbed a hammer like that on a 1911. My shooting bud says it looks, "peppy."
The massive modifications to make this gun inaccurate, illogical and unreliable mean it's one of the ugliest guns you've presented. The insane price is the cherry on the top of its ugliness.
No way would I assume without proof that the sights on this gun are well aligned or capable of being well aligned.
The thought of someone putting this mutilated gun through a typical mud and dust "torture test" makes me laugh.
Wow, it's like seeing a corvette put on a Japanese 4x4 pickup chassis.
All it's lacking is the sights mounted on the side so he could aim it "gangsta" style...
As a tool & die machinist I'm suprised someone this stupid could opperate the machinery it took to ruin the gun.
Everyone told me to spend money on a good belt for CCW, so I bought one of these and like it quite a bit:
Daltech Force are help me in choosing quality gun belt. Thei stuff are polite and provide only useful information.
Cost more than my last 10 years worth of belts.
