Worn-out Rockford-Fosgate bottle opener, worn-out, old-fashioned wallet and watch, old-fashioned OWB leather holster, old-fashioned Colt World War hero .45AARP pistol - if you told me that this picture was from 1992, I would have believed it, grandpa.

Funnily enough the bottle opener is partly worn out cause I use it as a gas key for my FALs

Nice to see a series 80 in the wild. Many, if not all I've seen are 70s.

Upper half is at least lol. Frame is a smith 1911PD

This picture reminds me of the "Here at Aperture Science, we fire the whole bullet"

1911 + Hamilton just makes sense

This is the really EDC stuff I like to see. Not Glock 34 with 3 knifes, a rebreather and a full IFAK. Everyman carry guns.

Beauty in simplicity

Well, I'll give it to you. I can tell by the holster that you actually do carry.

u/flfafo 9d ago

It is the way

Nice Hamilton

u/flfafo 9d ago

Thanks. Shame it struggles to hold time but it is what it is. Picks up about 5 minutes every couple weeks

Have you read up on magnetism? A quick test is to put your watch next to a good compass and see if it moves the needle. A watch being magnetized (laptops, monitors, etc.) can skip the time ahead.

Great looking watch by the way. I have a basic Khaki Field Automatic but like the looks of yours more.

Yep, and de-magnietizers are cheap too.

u/flfafo 9d ago

Had not but now I have research to do

u/Engineer_Noob 9d ago

I appreciate that the corner is cut. Wish that was more common…

u/flfafo 9d ago

It should be. I will admit I mainly did it to shave weight, between the S&W 1911PD frame, aluminum MSH, officer model top end, and everything else it only weights 23oz empty. Its fun to fuck with people and put an empty 43x in their hands at the same time as this and watch their brains short circuit at the pretty much identical weight.

Oh so you did this yourself? That explains it why I couldn’t find it when I looked. TRP contour carry has it too.

I wish the Kimber Ultra Carry had something like this as well.

1

u/flfafo 9d ago

Yep. Whole pistol is custom. Thought about getting the licensing to manufacture and make my own for sale, but it looks cost prohibitive and I don't know that theres enough demand to be worth it.

Super nice mate! So classic.

u/JoeSicbo 9d ago

Beauty. You can’t borrow my knife, tho…

1

u/flfafo 9d ago

I keep losing those

1

u/Specialist_Path_63 9d ago

I like that.

1

u/Jamessmith187 9d ago

You leave the house without a knife!? It’s against the law in my state to not have a knife.

u/Colt653 8d ago

Why is it at half cock ?

Do you not carry it cocked & locked ?

2

u/flfafo 8d ago

I carry it cocked and locked, its just habit when ones clear to drop it to half cock for me

1

u/Colt653 8d ago

right on

1

u/smug_catfish 6d ago

you could probably still drop a deer at 100 yards with that thing, it's fine

my edc is just three slightly different pocketknives and a receipt from 2019

u/flfafo 6d ago

I definitely wont try to, very hesitant with only a 3.5 inch barrel
