Let's see your 1911's

[GSF6493]

I love the 1911 just something about them that is close to my heart...Could be that my dad taught me how to shoot with one. To this day he still packs a 1911 every single day not bad for a 90 year old man...BTW he still can out shoot me with his 1911

Any ways I'll show off mine first
Para Elite Commander

Colt Combat Elite. 45 Super

Kimber Ultra Carry bobtail .45acp

I love those Colts'...

I will try to get around to getting my others out...and the 1911's and get a pic of them. I have a Casull that has not been shot in years...thought of selling it but, it will be like the Colts and will probably appreciate a little...so it can stay in the safe. The guns in the picture are the guns that I shoot primarily...I do shoot the lever guns and Contenders a good bit and my son shoots the 1911's. We have a Para, a Kimber and a Rock Island.

I tried to get all of mine out for a portrait, but they started chasing each other around the room like cats. The .38 Super is mad at me because it hasn't been out to play in a few years and the Aimpoint needs a battery.

Ian, I have had the hankering for a 38 Super for a long time...eyeballed a pile of them on GB...but have never dropped the hammer on one. To be honest, probably the reason that I have not already gotten one is that I really don't need another caliber to collect crap for...I have stuff running out of my ears now, but I can't seem to make myself get rid of most of it. However, I have recently thinned my mold herd a good bit...so, there might be room for some 38 Super stuff...

Kind of been eyeballing that .22 TCM, too. hehe

 

[Ian]

I don't shoot the Super much because I actually have to pay for the brass it uses. Not that it's a prohibitive expense, but there's something satisfying about plinking with a gun that eats range pickup stuff and nobody leaves .38 Super +p Starline brass on the ground.

GSF6493, beautiful collection. I'd have to say my favorites of your 1911 group is the 1911 U.S. ARMY and the National Match. The U.S. ARMY; post war manufacture?

 

[Brad]

Only own one, a series 80 Gold Cup. Shoots better than I do.
I have considered more but never pulled the trigger, so to say.

Yes ,U.S. Army is Post war. The NM was carried by Sig Unander Sr....below is the bio of him. The left side of the slide has his name engraved on it. I also have the build sheet from Colt on it.

[RicinYakima]

I only have two: a 1916 Colt with a long history that I know, and this one. Sold all the others as this one shoots well and is easy on the eyes.
