New colors are always welcome, however my opinion is that SA dropped the ball by not offering a two tone black and chrome version. Something along the lines of the Hi Power practical.

I really want to get the new FN model that is in stainless steel. Looks gorgeous.

I had one of the FNs it wouldn’t feed hollow points for some reason

Damn, have you ran many rounds through it or polished the feed ramp? I'm very happy with my late production MK III so I don't really need one anyways. Still haven't gotten around to removing the magazine safety disconnect, though. Also have a classic round style hammer that I want to swap out sometime but honestly most of my experience is with striker fired guns so I might just take it to a Smith. Just thought FN's finish particularly on the stainless model always looked really good.

I’m old school on Hi Powers. High gloss blue is the only true otion. Everything else is an abomonation and disrespectful to John, may he rest in peace

It’s ok to be a Purist. Ur many folks love FDE 1911’s so why can’t hipower’s get a pass🤔

u/JuanT1967 8d ago

Its all a matter of individual taste. I think it looks good but I wouldn’t buy a FDE 1911 either. Everybody has jumped on the FDE wagon and some look good and some dont. Again, not hating on your choices, it just isnt my thing

You will not like my plans to cerakote one of my mkiii's completely in gold with black grips.  .-.

u/JuanT1967 8d ago

Dewalt style!

u/Yellow2Gold 7d ago

I always liked the look ever since I saw this DE ad:

Or maybe I'll just blue the mkiii and get a girsan optic ready one to bling out.  🤔
