Ive seen carry melts on a 1911 but have been looking at new Colts and they just look more "crisp" than the older variants....say a model from the 50's-70's...or better yet a well experienced USGI war-horse.
The older guns all seem to have "softer" edges and a smoother look....Am I imagining this or is this real? Did they come like this or is this part of the aging process....like how my knees wore out?
The side of the slides on new guns are well defined and bordered rectangles....on the older guns there seems to be much less differentiation between the slide rounds and the flats....seem to have more rolled edges and corners.
If this is a thing...does anyone do a "vintage melt" to make a newer "crisp" 1911 have more of a vintage feel?
Please and thank you
God bless
