A Jeff Cooper picture from the '70's was the inspiration for the changes to this, my first pistol, a DCM Remington-UMC I acquired in 1960:
This is the 50th anniversary of my first firearm.

Nice line up there Walt!
That Gunsite Commander has my attention! Very nice.
I looked through your 1911 Album.
I'm interested in that Gold Cup Commander. You got a story to go along with that custom? __________________ .
