1911 pistol made for President Donald Trump

[Sylvain]

I'm not sure if there's another thread about that.

Jesse James (West Coast Chopper, The Apprentice) has made a 1911 for the President of the United States.

A .45 caliber gun for the 45th president.
It took one year to make apparently and it will later presented to the president.
So far it has been shown to Donald Trump Jr. at SHOT show in Las Vegas.

Pretty damn amazing work there. He's still an idiot though.

Lol. #Makegunsgreatagain

That's pretty cool.

I saw Trump Jr posting a Carolina arms 1911 with a holster that said trump yesterday, pretty cool. Just about all presidents have received firearms through history, not sure about some of the more recent democrats though.

It looks like a 1911 The Donald would own.

Didn't know he was making guns now. He has some excellent craftsmanship. Wonder how many man hours are actually into it.

He has been making guns for awhile now. He has done a couple awesome 1911s made from 1000+ layer damascas steel. JJFU, Jesse James Firearms Unlimited

While I appreciate the work involved, that is pretty stinking ugly. However, the damascus steel is amazing.

the gun not the president!

Great President and a great tribute to him. His sons are avid gun owners, sportsmen, and hunters.

Agreed on both points. Amazing how something so good can be so gawdy. Craftsmanship is good, final product is atrocious.

Apparently that's the front ...

And the top has fancy engraving too.

Of course it comes with a gun plated magazine.

My thoughts exactly...and it wasn't a compliment, from me at least.

 

[Woobie]

Fugly.

Apparently James is a craftsman, but not an artist.

Jesse James is now a gunsmith?? Not to criticize, but someone beat him to it.

Namely, Dave Lauck of D&L Sports. Photo courtesy of D&L Sports.

Jesse's attempt at 1911 art appears to be lacking in some degree. Of course, he is just starting out, I should think

Trump has a carry permit, he should OC those.

 

[T.Lex]

I don't mind fancy guns. I can appreciate the artistry.

But, as noted upstream by others, that's more gaudy than fancy. And yeah, that's right in Trump's sweet spot.

Trump has a carry permit, he should OC those.

Open carry is illegal in DC even with a permit.

The sad part is the Jesse builds some very elegant 1911s. This just isn’t one of them.

He’s got some neat ones that have a piece of the Starue of Liberty in them and the damascus can be drool worthy.
