Hey guys. Let's post some info and pics about our favorite 1911.
My 1911 is a Israel Arms M-5000. It's a Commander style pistol, Gov't frame w/4.25" barrel. My 1911 was made at the GAL factory as marked on the slide. There are also several discretely-placed Star-of-David proof marks...cool for no other reason than it's nice to see that kind of workmanship these days. It has proven to be 100% reliable and very accurate. I couldn't be happier with it.
When I purchased the gun, it had wrap-around rubber grips with finger grooves. It also had an extended thumb safety, slide release, and mag release. The recoil spring was also quite worn when I compared it to a new one. The front of the grip is smooth, which suits me just fine because I don't particularly care for texturing on that part of the frame.
I had the following work done to it:
Here are the pictures:

I had the following work done to it:
- Installed Chip McCormick Slim Carry rosewood grips
- Installed mil-spec Colt brand thumb safety, slide release, and mag release
- Installed a Wolff Gunsprings Type I Service Pak
- Had the gun refinished in a mil-spec parkerizing by Revelation Arms of Aloha, OR
