Compensator, stainless finish, target sights, extended grip safety and beavertail, aftermarket grips, and skeletonized trigger and hammer. That's just what I can see, care to mention any others?

extended slide release
I would hope that with the upgraded hammer came a fitted sear and tuned springs. |

I think you're right...
Yes, yes, and yes. I don't know everything about this pistol, but I think it has all of what you mentioned. Lots of the stuff you can get on a new "loaded" model. Shoots sweet. It is a beast. My first 1911... So happy to have found it. What do y'all think it's worth?

Wow, I just looked it over again. Wonder why the hell someone would pawn that. They musta got raped on it. Wish I could find people needing money with a gun like that to sell.

Looks nice
I never find anything good at pawn shops. Last gun I saw that I was interested in was an unconverted Saiga that they were asking $600 for BEFORE the recent ban nonsense.
I'm still torn about 1911s. I don't want one because it would end up never getting shot. But then I do want one because, dang look, they are beautiful. |

The more you shoot and buy custom 1911s or custom pistols in general you will find that in the used market the seller gets very little of the $$$$ put into the gun for the custom modifications. Even guns by known named smiths are lucky to get 70%-80% of the $$$$ put into customization which is why I like to buy used....  Not my cup of tea but if you are happy then we are happy. Enjoy it!

Seems like an excellent price. Very nice gun, though I can't say that a compensator on a 1911 is my cup of tea.

Just for the fun of it I might dress it up a little with a set of Punisher grips.
