I give you...."Toolie", my Mono

[skosh69]

Well friends the day has come, to unveil the Mono built in honor of my late father. I call it Toolie, as it was my dad's nickname also.

Before I go any further, I'd like to thank the following people:

Crazy John from www.cj1911heaven.com for taking my order and helping me some key decisions during the ordering process. Always a pleasure to talk with. I hope to call him and order something else one day.

Forum member Rick aka Tango3 for loaning me his original LB grips and a pair of Sarge's grips so that my grip maker could cut them perfectly. Also Matt, aka USMC 0802 from the big forum for answering my hundreds of questions about mags and such.

My grip maker, from http://www.lonestarcustomgrips.com/ for 2 of the 3 sets of grips you'll see below.

The Micarta grips I got of Ebay from 1911 grip guy. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1911-Grips-G...item5d47a9bfe1

Grips screws are both from VZ and Strike Industries.

I have more grips than common sense!
