Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen,

As we all know, Christmas is just around the corner. Which means it is time to start thinking (and making) presents.
So with that being said, here is my latest project (and present for a friend). It is the PM-1911 (.45 ACP) Pistol (the classic version).
You can find this iconic pistol (as well as other similar models from the same designer) here:

Here are the photos (and a few thoughts and comments) of this build.
(I know, this is not my usual SCI-FI type builds. Like I said, this is a Christmas present.)

Here is the cover page.
