Thanks for the condolences my wife fought a good fight for over 13 months but in the end she lost.
Thankfully the brain caner got her so she went peacefully it kind of just shut her down and she passed in 16 hrs of losing conciseness.
She started with breast caner and it moved to her lungs, spine and brain.
The spine caners took her legs and lower half from her for the last few months
The lung cancer was getting bad but in the end she shut down with the brain cancer and went peacefully.
She wanted to come home so we got her in home hospice for the last month or so of her life which is me caring for her 24/7 and a nurse coming in when she need them.
I do not wish what we endured on anyone but i would not trade the last few month with her for anything.

That's a lot, Gregg. I'm glad to hear it sounds like she had peace, and was able to pass on at home, with you there. I can't even imagine.
Although it's late, and our church services have been suspended, I'll add her to our prayers for those that have passed on, and you for support.

I kind of wish i would get quarantined for a few weeks so i can catch up on stuff around the house.
But the government wants the trains moving so off to work i go.

Drinking my self to sleep again so let's post pictures.
Yes i was drinking when i built it so it will need re blued later on.
This is what I started with.
And what it looks like now.
not bad for a $350 including tools to build it, and yes it runs fine with ball ammo i will work on the feed ramp and get it working with hollow points later one.
all i used to build it was a green scratch pad to remove rust form the lower, a small harbor fright file set, some cold bluing, a plunger staking tool, and a dremel tool to polish parts, break cleaner to remove oil when bluing it..
i did replace 2 springs i did not like how it ran so i replaced the main spring to improve the trigger and the recoil spring was to long "and made it cycle slow" so i used a old one had from a rock island that was wore out.
it now has a 3lb trigger pull and cycles fast.
If you want a challenge build a 1911 not one part is going to fit with out some work.

Looking good Mangyrat! That 1911 build, was it a kit gun or something you picked up that needed work done to it?
Yay! Cigars!
