No way I can buy this!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people will pay $1800 for a pistol with an ugly trigger, I won't mention which one at this time, it'll show up here on the forum later this year.

This is an auction for a pistol for a great cause, congrats to the winning bidder.

it's a beautiful pistol! but for something of that quality they should have gone with Elephant or Mammoth ivory for the grips, that walnut's pretty but too plain for that pistol.

Yeah, for $18000.00 the grips should be Mammoth Ivory with Solid 24 kt Gold medallions! And, the engraving should be all in gold leaf! The front sight should have a solid gold bead too!

Yeah and it should be hand delivered by Kate Upton to the winner at a private cabana on a topless beach ... yeah, that's it!

Hell, if that was the method I would buy two so she could balance them on her......

I agree. What I said is the truth, I would not and can not afford an $18000.00 1911, And I do not know anyone who could or would, it IS for a good cause, it takes MONTHS (Many) for me to save enough to get an $1800.00 Pistol.
Wilson Combat is a Great Company with Great Employees. Glad they can do this. Somebody with Very Deep Pockets will get the Fine Pistol They Built.
By the way, what is wrong with the trigger on this?

Now how did you know I was talking about that gun???

I'm just messing with ya dw. Seeing if you were gonna bite at my post and ya did.

As far as the trigger goes, there's just something about it that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's the fact they tried to fit an "hour glass" figure in it? It's just weird to me.

Can't wait to see you get yours though.

I do pay attention . I knew what gun you were referring to. Personally, I like it because it's different than the usual Dan Wesson Triggers.
Glad you "Messed with Me" though! I Like It!

Top Bid still at $18,000.00.
Somebody that is very wealthy will have it.
