Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The M1911 (Colt 1911 or Colt Government) is a single-action, recoil-operated, semi-automatic pistol chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. The pistol's formal U.S. military designation as of 1940 was Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911 for the original model adopted in March 1911, and Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911A1 for the improved M1911A1 model, which entered service in 1926. The designation changed to Pistol, Caliber .45, Automatic, M1911A1 in the Vietnam War era.
M1911 was designed by John Browning, the M1911 is the best-known of his designs to use the short recoil principle in its basic design. Many companies widely copied the pistol, and this operating system rose to become the preeminent type of the 20th century and of nearly all modern centerfire pistols. It is one of the most popular with civilian shooters in competitive events such as the International Defensive Pistol Association and the International Practical Shooting Confederation. Gerry is a gunsmith and engraver. He engraves rifles, shotguns, pistols and knives, employing hand engraving methods. All projects, whether it is a one-of-a-kind custom or a factory production model, receive the same high level of Gerry’s attention. His engraving also includes jewelry, belt buckles, and Western items.

Custom engraving is tailored to the client’s wishes. Gerry will normally use an American, German, or English scroll style. He will go outside of these scroll styles to please the client, though. He is competent in precious metal inlays, including line inlays, scroll inlays, animal and bird inlays. Bulino engraving will be used for game scenes ranging from busts to complete scenes. Gerry is especially proud of his deep relief engraving and fine shading. Gerry believes that a scroll should look three dimensional. Backgrounds should be deep and dark. The scroll should be well shaded giving depth, form and life. The flow should take you along and through the scroll and let your eye flow from the scroll onto the other parts of the firearm, knife, or jewelry.
