[Renegadewolf]

Hey guys i have been wanting to buy a 1911 for a long time,a colt hopefully. But i would like anybody that has a 1911 to put them up and show them off. They are the best pistol in the world (IMO) so show the heck out of them. (If they are original colts extra points!:D)

Renegade,
I share your passion on 1911's but must respectfully disagree with your choice of Colt.

They made some excellent 1911's in the distant past but I have yet to handle one of them made in the last 10 years that I would pay their price for. They exhibit very loose frame to slide fit, poorly fitted barrels, mediocre triggers, Excellent bluing however.

I do own 6-1911's, 2 of them Colts that I bought 20 yrs ago. Granted 3 of my 6 are custom built bullseye guns and in their current state can't be compared to a stock Colt. The problem is that even in their original state they were far better fitted. I refuse to contribute to a companies sales force who insists on resting on their laurels and trying to push an inferior product on me, regardless of how well the bluing job turned out.

I just bought a Legacy arms Citadel for $400 that was light years tighter than the Colt Gold Cup for $1100 2 feet away.

Again no disrespect intended, just my observations over 34 years of shooting handguns.

FWIW

Here's a 1972'ish Combat Commander -

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb212/pacific1927/CombatCommander1.jpg

It's not "original", as it's had feed ramp polished and barrel throated, trigger worked on for 4.5# pull, FLGR, heavier firing pin spring / lighter mainspring, Trijicon sights, replaced loose ejector.

Reliable with hollowpoints now...

[gwnorth]

My pair of stainless colts (a Combat Commander, new in 2009, and a 1990's MK.IV gov't enhanced bought used from the same shop early this summer). I do not see myself parting with either of these as they are great shooters.

[Renegadewolf]

I accept your opinion, and i must say that when i said original colts i meant the past ones so sorry for making that unclear. And thank you for your politeness. Also i forgot to say if they are WWII era even better points.

[tkopp]

Is this more like what you wanted to see?

http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/1594/ponyq.jpg

Lend-leased to the British, returned to the States, polished up and reblued with the barrel jeweled. Best trigger I've felt on any pistol.

Wish me luck tomorrow on my interview. If I don't land a job soon, that may be paying next month's rent.

[parisite]

No extra points for Colts needed.

COLT Series 70 Electro Satin Nickle

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f303/rklessdriver/Weapons/ColtSeries70.jpg

As far as COLT having loose slide to frame fit.... Big to do about NOTHING. COLT builds guns that run 100% in anywhere in any condition, not big boy toys that rarely see the dirty side of a shooting bench.

The Series 70 above is the sorriest 1911 I own in reguard to fit and finish. Lots of slop in the frame to slide but it runs like it's soposed to with any ammo and any quality mag. It has NEVER had the feed ramp polished or any work done to it what so ever. Just the way it came from Hartford in 1981. None of that effects how it shoots.

http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f303/rklessdriver/Weapons/DSC00968.jpg

If you want a COLT you should buy one. They build a good pistol and price it fairly.

Here are some 1911s for you from all over the scale, starting at entry level models to some full house customs and everything in between. I've been a collector for a number of years, so if you want pics, you got 'em. :)

I'll try to catagorize them a bit as well.

[bac1023]

BlayGlock, How do you like your Nighthawk so far? :)

[BlayGlock]

Shoots like a laser beam and carries like a dream. It is my ideal ccw gun because it carries like a bobtail commander and shoots like a full size. Work schedule has only allowe me about 250 rounds so far. I want to do a full range report and what-not once I hit 500. Ill get some glamour shots, but alas, I do not have the famous Bac carpet so they will have to be on my hardwood floors.

That is a very nice looking finish on that gun. Im undecided on the Kimber lettering but it does need something in that area to be a color break.

bac1023,

Incredible collection! I'd like to put my grubby paw prints on every one of them! :D

How do you like that Cimarron? I've been impressed with their revolvers, and bought one, but I wasn't aware they made a 1911 until seeing yours.

I want a GI style next and it looks like it could be a serious contender in my search.

[Runningman]

I share your passion on 1911's but must respectfully disagree with your choice of Colt.

I'm with Stork on this one. If you want a decent 1911, check out STI.

Thanks.

As far as the Cimarron is concerned, it just came out. Its another 1911 built by Armscor in the Philippines. I haven't shot it yet, but its a good quality 1911. I like all the other Armscor built 1911s I own.

[SwampWolf]

So, bac1023, of the few 1911s you have to pick from, if you could only have one (where are the smelling salts!) of them (resale value aside) for every purpose (from ccw to serious target and "combat" shooting), which one would you pick? :evil:

[bac1023]

Wow, I have no idea. :confused: I carry my Kimber CDP Pro, but its not the best range gun, because of its light weight.

I guess I'd have to say my Baer SRP, but that doesn't make it my favorite.

[tincanhunter]

Here's my latest addition.

Good luck. I tried that once as well and couldnt really get an answer.

Holy John Browning, Bac-Man!

I hate to think about what the dollar value of all those guns is. You are either single or have the coolest wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend/life-partner or whatever the case is in the world.

I am not making a joke there, I just don't know if you are a man or a woman! I first thought "man", but then I didn't see any Glocks, so....

(allright, that last part WAS a joke)

I do own Glocks and quite a few others, but was just posting 1911s. :p

[45bthompson]

I've got a kimber and a couple of para's but my favorite is an old beat up AMT hardballer. Its loose but still puts rounds were I want it to and goes bang no matter what. Plus I'm not worried about the stainless matte finish so I can carry it without stressing.

Thanks!!!

for the $ the Remington is a nice basic 1911. sure you can get some that cost less, but they would be made outside of the US.

True, the Remington R1 is one of the least expensive American made 1911 on the market.
